I put a yellow headband on Mila as she sat between my legs. My sisters, Justin's sister, Jennifer, mom, and I are going to go try on my dress and bridesmaids dresses. I felt Mila hit her hands against my legs and I looked down at her.

"Are you ready to see grandma?" I kissed the top of her head. I stood up and picked up the diaper bag before going outside and getting into the car to leave.

"Hi Mila." Jennifer, Justin's sister, smiled as we walked in. I looked down as Mila rubbed her eyes. "She's sleepy." I kissed the top of her head before hugging Jennifer.

"Everyone's here, we were just waiting on you." She replied as I followed her. I saw my sisters, my mom, and Justin's mom sitting on some plush white sofas. The store was super cute with blush pink walls and cute black and white quote frames displayed.

"There you are." My mom stood up. "Sorry I'm a little late." I said as she hugged me. "It's alright." She smiled and grabbed Mila.

"Is everyone here?" A woman walked over to us. She was wearing a black blouse and a black pencil skirt with a name tag that read Emily. "Yes, I'm the bride." I said to her. "Well, let's get started. I'm Emily and I'm going to help you find your dress and bridesmaids dresses today." She smiled and shook my hand.

"Do you have any ideas on what type of dress you want?" She asked. "I want a romantic style A-line dress. It can have sleeves, I'm not really particular." I replied and she nodded. "Well, come with me and we'll get started." She motioned me to the dressing rooms.

"I'm so excited!" I smiled as we sipped the sparkling juice the store gave us. After trying on a few dresses, we were able to find my dress and my bridesmaids dresses. The dresses that we picked are beautiful and I can't wait for the big day.
