Chapter twenty-three: The wedding part 1

I have a week to plan the wedding, and I'm stressing,

I put Ashley in charge of my dress, and I am in charge of the rest, but Ihave no idea where to start.

I just want a small wedding, so I'm only in charge of the menu, flowers,vowels and the Layout of everything.

The guests are only the pack members; the ceremony will be outsidewith all the gear we already have from other pack weddings. Plus, thepack already has a priest to perform the ceremony.

“Guess what” Ashley smiles, walking into hazyns office, which iscurrently wedding planning central.

“What's that?” I question confused; please don't tell me something iswrong because I can't deal with that right now.

“I got you a dress, the last one in your size too” Ashley smiles beforeducking out of the office and coming back with a long black bag.

I jump up and unzip the bag to see a beautiful créme satin weddingball gown with a deep v-neck made of lace.

“It's beautiful”, I admit staring in shock at how beautiful it truly is.

“Try it on”, Ashley grins, helping me get it on to show that the gown is aperfect fit.

“You're stunning”, Ashley adds; I look down at myself and nod my headin agreement. I really do look good in this dress.

I smile quickly before carefully stripping off the dress and putting itback into the dress bag before turning back to the menu ideas that thepack chef has put together for me.

“I got it”, I cheer, pulling the perfect menu out of the deck.

“What did you decide?” Ashley questions.

“For the starters, we have buffalo Caprese with mozzarella, grapetomatoes and basil and an Arugula salad with baby arugula, grapetomatoes and Parmigiano. The main dish will be beef tenderloin withmushroom risotto, and dessert will be a red velvet three-tier cake withedible flowers and fresh berries,” I answer, making Ashley moan at thesound of all the food that will be served.

“That sounds so good.”

“Now everything else”, I joke, pushing the menus to the side.

I stare at the clock as I start to finalise the layout of the wedding; I'vespent the past few hours writing my vowels and working out the layoutof the wedding. I know I want red and white roses to be thecentrepieces of the tables and buttercups to be a part of the weddingarch.

“How you going” Hazyn questions wrapping his arms around me as Iput the last sticky note on the layout for the seating chart

“Done”, 1 giggle, jumping up and wrapping my arms around his neckcheerfully.

“And three days early”, Hazyn smiles. I gently move everything to theright spots so that tomorrow I can give everyone who's helping withthe assignments so everything goes smoothly.

“I know, it's taken a lot of hard work from Ashley and me, but we gotthere in the end.”

“You two did amazing, and I can't wait to see how it all turns out, butfor now, you need to go to bed, my beautiful queen.” I nod my headunderstanding exactly what he means; I feel so tired that my body isgetting ready to shut down forcefully.

“Alright, let's go to bed" I smile before leading Hazyn to bed.
