I feel a mixture of exhilaration and a tinge of trepidation as I glance in the mirror. The wedding is drawing near, and although I'm thrilled about it, I'm still anxious about the actual day.Olivia really did a great job on the wedding dress. Although I panicked for a bit, I sort of knew I could trust her to bring the vision of my dream wedding gown to life. The dress is a vision of bridal perfection, an A-line masterpiece crafted from the finest Italian duchess satin and adorned with intricate leaver lace.The bodice is a work of art, fitting my curves perfectly with a sweetheart neckline that accentuates my body, giving off elegance and grace. Delicate lace motifs cascaded down from the bodice, creating a mesmerising, timeless design. The gown is adorned with delicate pearl beading and sequins, adding a touch of subtle sparkle.“This gown will definitely turn heads and make the headlines.” Brittany comments, and I nod, laughing.I stare at myself in the mirror, unable to tear my ey
"Welcome, mother,” I say, strolling into the house.She ignores me, heading towards her room.“I'm still mad at you for not telling me about the day for your dress fitting.”“Mother, you can't stay mad at me forever. I was being a considerate child.”“You should have allowed me to decide if I could make it or not.”“Argggh. I know you, mother, you would have moved the earth if it were possible just to get down here.”“Louis is secondary. You, my baby, will always come first. It's bad enough that I can't seem to play any role in this preparation because people have been paid to do practically everything.”“Uhmm. Mother, I'm sorry. I know videos do not do as much justice as being there. I can arrange for another fitting if you want.”“That will be an extra expense.”“Which I can comfortably pay for.”“I guess I'll have to wait till the wedding day.”“Mom, I'm sorry.”“It's fine. Your sins have been forgiven. Sin no more.”“Yes ma'am. How was the Dubai tour?”“It was good," mother says.
"Hello, this is Jordan.""I believe you are doing well."The voice on the other end of the line is warm and familiar. "Mr. Baker, it's a pleasure to hear from you. I trust everything is going nicely with your wedding preparations.""Yes, it is; thank you. I wanted to know if you’ve received the shipment you were awaiting." Patricia’s dress is ready; on the other hand, I can't say the same for mine. I’m not even sure if work has started on my suit because last I heard the designer was waiting for the fabric to be shipped."Charles Buckman, the designer making my wedding suit,comes highly recommended, as he is very good at his craft. He did a tremendous job with Tony’s. I’m trusting him to do the same with mine."Yes, Jordan, the shipment has arrived; it just arrived the night before, and it is as exquisite as we anticipated. I have started working on your suit, and I'm confident it will meet your expectations.”"Excellent. I have complete trust in your work, and I know that the suit wi
Louis' home is so beautiful. It's a homely space for anyone looking to start a family. The infinity pool and the view are mind-blowing. I like that the infinity pool has a massive glass barricade. Mother sings the praises of the house and everyone involved in making it look super flawless, according to her. One of the things I'm eager to see is the primary suite."Welcome to my home," Louis says, hugging me.If anything, Louis keeps looking less than fifty-three every time I see him. I take a minute to admire the beautiful pictures hanging at different corners of the parlour."Thank you very much. I need your recipe for ageing backwards." I say, smiling.He chuckles and places a hand on his chest."As much as I would love to take all the credit, it's a gene thing, and there's the gym too."“The gym.” I say, eyeing him.“Yeah, where I met your mother," he says, laughing.“These tiles are beautiful. Your home is beautiful.”“Thank you very much.”“Italian?”“Yes.”"I see. It smells so g
I'm looking forward to marrying Patricia in a few hours, and I'm really excited. When Charles Buckman brought my suit, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was even more lovely than I had imagined. Putting it on tomorrow excites me. I was so impressed with his work. I’m anticipating seeing Patricia’s wedding dress too and how stunning she looks in it."Come on, man, you don’t want to be late for your bachelor’s party.”“Hopefully, everything goes as planned."“I already promised; it’s going to be grandpa fun, not adult fun,” Jamal says, laughing, and I roll my eyes at him. I definitely don’t act like a grandpa."Let's get going, grandpa; the guys are waiting.”“Call me grandpa one more time, and I’m going to throw you out of the car while driving.""You would need the strength of the Hulk to do that. Take a look at this body. I haven't been gyming for no reason.”“Try Me.”“Ok, I'll be on my best behaviour starting now. Although I can't promise.”"You had better be,” I say, open
Louis came over, and we all had a lovely dinner yesterday. Everyone happily approved of him and mother. I mean, who wouldn't? He's such a sweet, gentle man. He took a few pictures of us and told us he would send them when he was done editing them.Jordan is out with his guys for his bachelor party. I trust him, but Jamal, on the other hand, is a no-no. He assured me that there would be no such things as strippers and getting drunk. I’m not about to go down the aisle with a man who has a loss of coordination, poor judgement, and a banging headache.Jordan begged that I take Brittney to check out the house he bought in my name for my wedding present. He said she's been sitting at home for way too long, and he wants her to spend the day outside today, which is a bit strange because she has been coming to rehearsals, and just the other day she joined me for my fitting, but if he wants her outside more often, then his wish is my command, as long as she agrees to it.He and Brittney seem ve
A beautiful glow fills the room as the room's white drapes let in the soft light of morning. I feel a surge of apprehensive anticipation mixed with joy as I wake up on the morning of my wedding. Today is the day Jordan and I begin our adventure together as married couples—a day I have been dreaming about since Jordan proposed to me. I stretch and take a deep breath, savouring the mix of emotions that flutter within me. The scent of fresh red roses Jordan delivered the night before lingers in the air, creating an atmosphere of romance and celebration.I glance at the clock, realising that all the people that are going to help me get ready for today will soon be on their way. A smile plays on my lips as I think about the moments awaiting me today.My bridesmaids, my closest confidantes, are all staying with me, all of them in different rooms adjacent to mine, adding an extra layer of joy to the morning as everyone is a bundle of excitement. As I make my way to the mirror, I can't help
Ray and I are the happiest people on earth as we speak. Watching Louis walk Patricia down the aisle was a subtle reminder of how lucky I am. If a magical mirror were placed in the room, my sister would be the fairest of all. I couldn't have asked for a better bride. Brains, beauty—you name it. Patricia Pearl is now Patricia Baker.It was quite a sight seeing Mrs. Charity today, all glammed up and looking a lot different from her usual extra-simple makeup to events as always. My parents were super emotional earlier today at the church, and my princess Ray executed her flower girl’s duty excellently well. It's safe to say Patricia is the ray of sunshine Rachel and I have always needed in our lives.I have a list that I created last month for our honeymoon. It contains so many fun and romantic activities. I chose Italy because, for starters, it is a land for romance, and then secondly, Pat gets to attend the Milan fashion week, and I get to see beautiful timeless architectural structures
