              Then we decided to find a place to have dinner. I was tired from loading and unloading. We found a Mexican place with really good salsa. Once our food had been delivered. "I thought more people would surround us." Hunter leaned in sounding relieved.  "Oh you mean about the wedding?" I asked. "Yea." He said. "Well we've done our best to keep it under wraps. We told the girl a general date and location." I said. "Yea, so i was thinking." Hunter said. "Shoot." I said. "Everybody keeps asking if we'll post a live video of the wedding. I say we don't It's it's our special day BUT what if we incorporated some clips of it into a music video" Hunter said.

               "Really? You wanna do that?" I asked. "Only if you do. People wanna feel like they were there. I am going to write the most kick butt love song to go with it." Hunter said. "Like oh I have to do this because of work..." I said. He frowned. "Oh! No not like that at all. Like as if I have a whole notebook filled of things I love about you.  How I could write a millions songs. How I need to write about you and how much I love you and I thought that would go well with it." He said. "Oh, well...awe...that's sweet." I said. 

              "Thanks. I just love you!" He said. "You too." I said giving him a quick kiss. "It's just people are curious. I don't wanna leave em hanging to much." He grinned. "Okay, you got me there." I said. We finished eating and headed to the hotel.

                                                  ------------------------------------------------------

          After picking up donuts and eating them on the way. We headed to my parents house. My mom hadn't really been involved in the wedding planning either. Honestly we had just been so busy and it was easier just to do it all ourselves. I felt guilty for not having included them though. This might sound weird but I felt worse for Hunters mom. He was an only child. My mom got to help plan my two sisters wedding's so maybe she wouldn't be to upset.

        My dad was outside pulling things from the shop. My mom was standing by directing. We didn't have Jackson's help this time. We didn't wanna bother him. My dad took one look at the SUV. "I think I might need to help you get all this stuff. What do you think?" He asked. I don't know why he asked. The venue was two hours away. Was it really a question? Of course we needed his help.

      "That would be great." I said. "Okay, let me get my truck." My dad said walking up to the driveway. Hunter loaded up the few boxes that would fit and my dad backed his truck down to the shed. He loaded the stuff into it and we headed towards the venue. He followed us. We pulled in the two hours later and used the code to get in through the gate. Hunter used the key we'd been given to open the shed. We quickly loaded all of the stuff into the shop.

           "Thank you so much for helping us." Hunter said shaking my dad's hand. "No problem son. I'll see you in a few days at the wedding." He said. He gave me a hug and we walked back to our cars. "Bye!" We called out as we pulled off. We drove the short distance to the hotel. "Well I'm sufficiently exhausted." I said letting out a yawn. "Are you feeling like a nap?" He asked. "Maybe, is that weird?" I asked. "Not at all. I feel we don't nap enough let's go." He said taking my hand and walking to our room.

                                                        ----------------------------------------

          We didn't sleep long. Maybe an hour at most. When we woke up we went to find lunch. This part of Louisiana I had never been to. But it was cute. With little down town shops. So we ate at this adorable café. When we finished we went in and out of the shops stopping lastly at a bakery. They had chocolates of every flavor and size. "Salted Caramel my favorite!" I said pointing. We both got a few pieces and sat outside in the tables. The wind blew and the weather was just perfect. Seventy degrees.

          "I was not made for summers in the south. If it was fall all year round I'd be happy." "Oh I know right! And the humidity is just so heavy!" Hunter said. "I know my hair hates it. For real. I think I'm still learning to love my hair." I said. "You know what you're right. It does somehow seem frizzier today." Hunter said touching a curl. "I know right? So weird. Even though I'm used to it. I like the weather in Nashville so much more." I said. "I think it's cause were closer to the mountains." Hunter said.

       "How do you think London is gonna treat your hair?" Hunter asked. "Ooh all that rain. That'll be fun. But I love the rain." I said. "Yes and bad weather it seems." Hunter said smirking. "Hey I like it as long as were safe. I mean a good thunderstorm and some wind I'm down with." I said. "But I don't want like a tornado or anything." I said. "Right okay." We finished our dessert and had time to kill. "It feels weird having time." I said. "Doesn't it though? I feel like I never have time." Hunter said. We decided to head to a park we'd saw on the way in.

             There were a few girls there. "Oh my gosh!! Can we take your picture? Will you sign this??" The tallest of the three girls thrust a cell phone at me. "Oh, uh sure." I took a few shots. Then was given more cell phones. After I took photos with those the girls stated digging in purses looking for pens. Finally the short red haired girl found one. After he signed everything he tried to politely leave.

         "Why are you here?" Asked the bigger blonde. "Wait! You're getting married here!!" Said tall girl. "Awe, I wish we could come!" Said Red haired girl. "Sorry, it's really just for family and friends." I said speaking up for the first time. They all looked at me surprised to see me standing here. As if they hadn't just thrust cameras at me. "Oh. Well then." Said the tall girl as if that was somehow a rude answer.

        "It's nice to meet you ladies but we really should get going." Hunter said. We walked far enough away that we wouldn't be followed. "Well that never gets easier." I said sighing. "What the fans?" Hunter asked. "No that is a part of it so whatever it's just like these girls treat me like I'm invisible. It'd be one thing if they acknowledged me even a little." I said feeling a little hurt. "Hey, I'm sorry look I know some girls think..." "That you're a babe, I get it they're right you are. And they probably wished they had a shot." I said. "Well I'm still not used to that. But maybe." Hunter said taking my hand.

            He turned me to him. "I love you okay. I don't care about the other stuff. Let's get back to the hotel and shower. We can watch a movie. We can order pizza." He suggested. "Sounds perfect." So we headed back.
