It was only a week to wait for the ceremony and Zoe was now packing up all her stuff in a large suitcase to go to the hotel that she would be staying in. She packed her essentials, nightclothes, jewellery, Auro's things, and lastly, her dress. She was going to take Auro along with her but leave him in the room when the ceremony begins. Once packed, she drove to Tyler's parents' house with the location sent by him. She got there in no time and went to greet them.

"Hey, the-best-couple-in-the-world! How are you?", said Zoe, smirking at them when they got out of the house. They rolled their eyes.

"We're fine, you?"

"Never been better.", Zoe said, smiling from ear to ear.

"All packed?", asked Tyler as Zoe nodded.

"Yep. Auro's going to be staying inside the room for the ceremony. I don't want to be the cause of some, stupid allergic reaction breakout.", said Zoe as the couple nodded in agreement.

They waited for the whole gang to show up before heading to the hotel. After everyone had arrived and gave their cheeky remarks at the severely red couple, Zoe drove them to the hotel, along with their luggage. On the way, they recounted stories and memories from when they were in 7th grade as it was a long drive. They finally reached the hotel. It was quite a nice one. It was an open stone building with occasional gold coloured metal. They entered to see a marble interior with black metal in some spots. It was quite a rustic theme. Rustic, but at the same time classy. They were taken to their rooms; each got a tiny one to themselves. "Aww, this room is so cute.", Zoe commented while Auro sniffed a corner, investigating. "If you think it's cute, then why are you sanitizing it?", remarked Vanessa.

"I said cute, not clean. I want to make sure we are staying in a germ-free environment.", said Zoe, rubbing the window sill vigorously with cleaning spray.

"We're staying here for only a week, not a month."

"Even so."

The gang moved on to the wedding hall. It wasn't exactly a hall, per se, an area of land would be more accurate. It was an outdoor wedding. The frame that was supposed to hold a bunch of flowers in an arch was placed, and many chairs sat piled up in the centre of the field. There were many luscious trees around, and since it was midday, the leaves were casting shadows because of the glowing sun in the sky. "Wow, this is wonderful.", said Ayelen, staring at the setting. "Yes, quite so.", agreed Riana, who now had her head on Tyler's shoulder. They stayed there for a few moments and then realized what they were supposed to help with the setup.

The day went on, as the gang helped set up the wedding hall, or in this case, garden and they still had a lot to complete. The flowers were to be picked the night before the ceremony, the chairs were decorated with white linen along with a pale green bow. The tables still needed to arrive, and, there was a lot of tension between the couple.

"What if this doesn't go right? What if whatever I planned is rejected by our Tyler's parents? What if the tables never come? What if I fall sick? What is Tyler falls sick?", Riana rambled, panicking.

"It'll be fine.", Vance said, trying to reassure her. But knowing Riana, it wouldn't work.

"Don't beat yourself up, Riana, you are doing great,", said Evelyn. "His parents are going to love this." Mr and Mrs Cruz had gone to a nearby town to visit their closest relatives but would be back in time for the wedding.

"Yeah, don't worry. Spend some time with Tyler. That always cheers you up. Where is he?", suggested Zoe.

"Okay... I'll go find him...", said Riana, taking Zoe's advice and went to look for Tyler. She found him working with some of the decorators. He didn't seem to notice that she was standing there, so she cleared her throat. Tyler looked up to see Riana. "Hey, Riana. Anything wrong?", he asked, his eyes fixed on hers. This made her even nervous to tell him.
