As Mack drags me out the door, Griffin is yelling his goodbyes. Tomorrow is our wedding, but tonight... tonight is the bachelorette party. I quite obviously can't drink or anything, but Mack said she planned something amazing. When I get downstairs I hop in the limo with my 5 bridesmaids and immediately take notice of the huge candy bar.

"Oh. My. God!" I exclaim digging into the candy bar immediately. "This is a great start!" I exclaim. Cassie laughs,

"You just wait!" she exclaims. Yeah, Cassie and I got off to a rocky start, but that was almost a year ago. She moved to Miami about 6 months ago and we've gotten pretty close since then. All the bad stuff is behind us.

"So where are we heading?" I ask them. No one answers me and Ivy turns up the music even louder. 20 minutes later we arrive outside of a building. I've never been here, so I'm not exactly sure what it is. When we get inside I start laughing. There is a giant hot tub and a bunch of chefs walking around with little foods that look more like junk food. As I climb into the hot tub with the white bikini they give me (all of them in a blue one matching their bridesmaid dresses) I can't help but rub my baby bump that is quite evident with the bathing suit.

"You're like a submarine now!" Harper says laughing with herself, "get it, cause your baby is living inside your stomach and you're in the water!" Everyone nods and soon enough the food comes around.

"This can not be good for the baby!" I exclaim eating a s'more after consuming a bowl of ice cream. Mack shrugs,

"It's one night!" she says laughing, "and I'm sure your little girl loves it!" Mack is determined that this is a girl, since she is the god mother and she wants to have someone to shop with. Lucas on the other hand is determined it's a boy. Him being the godfather wants it to be a boy to play sports with, 'he always kicks lately right? He's just waiting until he can kick a football and score a touchdown!' He always tells me lately. I love how supportive they are and I can't wait to find out the gender tomorrow. Soon enough we head back into the limo which takes us to the hotel. In the hotel we binge watch dumb movies and cheers with soda! Until we pass out around 2am.

The next morning they wake me up with a thing of decaf coffee, since I'm doing the whole minimum caffeine thing. After drowning a cup, just for the taste of it, I jump in the shower. Soon after the hairdresser arrives and gets busy with my hairdo, while a nail tech does my nails. For my hair, it's very simple, it's mainly curled, with a string of flowers braided in, resembling a waterfall braid. For my nails, they are painted white with little sprinkles of silver dust at the base that thins out. Everything about it is perfect. Soon enough it's time to put on my perfect dress as well. As I slip the gown on, my baby bump is almost completely invisible. The dress is A-line styled and the top, which cuts off just above my baby bump is beautiful lace, with a few beads mixed in and forms two very thin tank top straps. The bottom part is simple and is just the white fabric flowing outwards. My veil reaches all the way to the ground, and I have silver ballet flats on. For jewelry I wear very little. I wear the promise necklace from Griffin, the engagement ring (as Griffin said the wedding one is to add to it) and two simple diamond earrings. As I walk out everyone gushes over the dress and I have to say it feels amazing. I feel amazing. I look at the bridesmaid dresses that are almost as perfect. The light blue/grey colour looks great on all of them and the dress is flowy and floor length. The top is kind of a criss cross of fabric that becomes the straps going around to do something cool in the back. Everything is perfect. I feel my phone ding in my pocket and my face lights up seeing who it is.

Griffin:

How goes the wedding prep

I know very well I didn't want to talk or see Griffin before the wedding, but I mean texting doesn't count... right?

Me:

Just starting pictures... shouldn't you be getting ready?

Griffin:

I had to check up on my bride to be

Me:

Ok husband to be, I'll see you in an hour and a half for our wedding

Griffin:

I love you beautiful

Me:

I love you more <3

I put my phone away and my heart flutters with the thoughts of Griffin. Outside while we take pictures, I can't help check if Griffin is nearby. I really want the first time he sees me to be when I'm walking down the aisle on the beach. In an hour. I'm going to be married in an hour. The thought excites me, yet scares me. Part of me wishes my family could be here. More specifically Dak. Even though we haven't talked or communicated since our parent's execution, I miss her. I wish she could be my maid of honour right now, but I know very well that's a silly thought to have. I have all the family I need right here. Griffin and Mack and Cassie and the rest of the team. They are my family. And I have them.

"Hey Mae!" Mack shouts, "the wedding starts in 20! You should go hide before Griffin comes down!" I give her a smile and go with Ivy to wait inside until everyone is seated. I watch from afar as Griffin takes his place, and everyone sits down staring and him and his groomsmen. Our perfect wedding. Our perfect love story. Our perfect fairytale. This is all I need. Him and this little boy or girl of ours. They are my family.
