"Congratulations on the engagement" Ingrid said hugging her future sister-in-law,"two weddings next year"
"Actually we're getting married the year after, but forget about the engagement, look at my godson oh he looks so grown" Alessandra said taking Arthur into her arms, "look at that he's not ginger, I'm disappointed, where's the couple of the hour?"
"William is with the other men but Kate is in the kitchen" Kate and William were hosting a engagement dinner for their families, that's why Alessandra and James were at their place.
"I thought you said this dinner was for family that's why I couldn't bring Alex" Pippa said to Kate who immediately looked at Alessandra, "You didn't hear it from me but James proposed last December, their actually announcing the engagement next month"
"So early" Carole added looking at the young girl,"She's a little young isn't she?"
"She's 21" Pippa replied," And every guy who has a eye for women has a crush or has definitely crushed on her, 2009 Miss Britian turned Miss World"
"She was a miss world at such a young age?" Carole asked surprised while scanning Alessandra,"Her sister's also dating a Prince" Kate added.
"Interesting" Carole said walking over to greet the two girls.
"Mrs Middleton" Ingrid grumbled out,"This is Alessandra, Ali this is Kate's mother Carole Middleton"
"Oh, it's a pleasure to meet you" Alessandra outstretched her hand to shake Caroles.
"Congratulations on the engagement" Carole said looking at Alessandra left hand and spotting the emerald cut engagement ring, that probably cost more than both the rings that donned her daughters and Ingrids left hands actually scratch that it probably cost more than all the engagement rings in the room.
"Oh thank you"
"I'll be waiting for an invite hey" Carole added with a laugh.
"I'll be sure to add you on the invitee list" Alessandra said with a awkward smile.
"Oh let me go put him to bed" Ingrid said wanting to get away from the awkward talks.
"Oh just lead me and I'll put him, we don't want to wake him up" Alessandra said excusing herself from Carole who smiled at the two, she had to make sure Kate was closer to Alessandra then Ingrid was, Alessandra was the future Princess Of Wales and then Queen, Kate needed her by her side.
"Ugh I so don't like that woman" Ingrid said as Alessandra put Arthur down,"She's so controlling, you know when Kate and William used to break up she had a plan to get Pippa and James together, she's probably scheming about getting you and James to break up"
Alessandra laughed as she looked at her friend," Oh come on Ingrid, she can't be that bad"
"Really oh, 'I'll be waiting for an invite hey' what was that even?" Ingrid said mocking Carole,"Your family wasn't even invited to her daughters wedding which is in a few months but here she wants an invite to yours, and did you notice she kept staring at us from the moment you entered the room, She's plotting something"
"You don't like her just admit it"
"She called me a social climber the first time we met, okay she didn't say it directly but after the dinner I heard her tell Kate"
"Maybe she... you know what let me shut up" Alessandra cut her sentence short after seeing the glare Ingrid was giving her.
"So Pippa when do you plan on getting married?" Alessandra asked Kate's sister.
"I'm...I'm still too young" Ingrid rolled her eyes at the statement, she should have just said my mom is still husband hunting for me.
"Are you done with the dress Catherine?" Camilla asked trying to start a conversation seeing as how most or the conversations the ladies had were shut down easily, by simple answers.
"Oh I don't want to bore you guys with wedding talks"
Ingrid rolled her eyes as she looked at Catherine "What tiara will you be wearing?"
"I'm not sure Alessandra what tiara will you be wearing?" So she wasn't sure about her own tiara but wanted to ask Alessandra who hadn't even announced her engagement yet about tiaras, interesting.
"Carrying the fringe tradition, I think it's simple and light for the wedding and we could have a wedding tradition of our own, see some royal families have wedding tradition using veils and tiaras so maybe we can also have our own"
"The fringe is the one Ingrid wore?" Carole asked.
"Yes ma'am and I believe it goes well with any dress" Alessandra replied with a laugh.
"You seem to he ready for the wedding Alessandra" Camilla commented looking at the young lady.
"Well preparing myself for the worst" Alessandra said with a laugh.
Ingrid furrows her eyebrows as she looks at her friend, "What do you mean Ali?"
"Oh, no I don't mean it in a bad way, it's James decided he wanted to be involved in the wedding and I'm not talking cake or flowers, he wants to help make my wedding dress"
"James" Ingrid gasped as she looked at her brother in law.
"What?" He asked hearing his name.
"You can't see the wedding dress before the day of the wedding" Ingrid said with a shocked look.
"Oh you mean that, trust me you'll love the dress, I thought women loved it when men got involved with the wedding planing"
"We do we do, but trust me not that involved"
"You can come help me Ingrid"
"Okay"
"You're supposed to be on my side Ingie"
Ingrid laughed as she looked at Alessandra,"I'll make sure he doesn't mess up"
"Are you ready for marriage Alessandra" Camilla asked the young girl who slowly nodded her head, she too wasn't sure what she was getting herself into"I mean I remember when I got married to Charles it took me a while to adjust and now you're in the same position, are you ready for that"
"Oh Camilla it's not that hard don't exaggerate plus you'll have James and I to support you, I'm sure the only reason Camilla says it's hard is because of... actually nevermind" She didn't want an to start any fights the last time she brought up Charles's exes a little argument broke out and she didn't want that now, so she turned and faced Alessandra "Do you have a wedding outfit ready?"
"Let's not talk about wedding outfits, I need 3 outfits, three can you just imagine" Alessandra said shaking her hand causing the women to all laugh.
