"Elizabeth get a car ready please." I said as I walk to her as she serving tea to the rest of the family. "This late Miss?" Yes this late." Where are you going?" My father said with worry. "Erebus want to get married earlier than planned so I need to go get the dress now." Early how early?" Like tomorrow let's go before the shops close." He then told my sister and mother to get ready with his usual " Bring a jacket girls." We all said yes in union as we get our things.
We planned to have it during early winter before snow falls. But it's super cold but I still wanted a outside wedding. We all walked outside to the car with Hemera excited to look at wedding dresses. We then drove to the shop.
"Mrs.Bennett couldn't make it she had to go to a charity event she says super really deeply sorry." It's okay do you have my dresses ready?" Yes ma'am even the bridesmaids are too." Good Hemera get ready to try on a dress." Okay sister." She happily skip off before the girl holding the dress couldn't catch up with her. I then heard a click at the top of the stairs I looked up to see Hella smiling with a wave. I walked quickly to the stairs as she made it down them we both caught each other in a hug. And we rock to one foot to the other. With huge smiles we pulled away. Then again gave another hug to each other.
"What are you doing here?" I can't miss my best friend wedding how could I and I designed her dress too!" Aw! I miss you so much how was the business overseas?" Good!" She said as she flash her left hand as she talked. When I caught a glimpse of her hand she had a simple crystal clear ring on it. "So pretty!" Show me yours!" She then took my hand and gasped with her eyes huge as she looked at the ring.
"This is the most beautiful ring I ever seen!" Thank you." Where did he get this it's so beautiful!" His brother made it." I see why no else can have something like this." I was quiet I didn't know want to say. " This ring found the right owner no one else can have this!"
She said with a smile on her pink lips with her eyes showing she was really happy for me. She then walked me to my dress forgetting about my family. Her arm around my shoulders as she take me to the dazzling display. My dream dress was sparkling like a diamond in the light. The long fur coat covering the white dress with a long train of fabric on the side lace embedded into the fabric. It had small rhinestones on it with other things Hella explained as I look at the dress. It then set in I was getting married.
"I'm really getting married Hella." You just noticed that?" No this is the first time......I ever felt like this." You found the right one don't let your family ruin it okay." Mm!" I will always support you." Thank you really." That's what best friends are for!" We then hug each other this time with deeper emotions and both of our hearts into this one. We went to talk a little before she help me try on the dress.
"So tell me how is he?" He been busy but he still make time for me." Aw look at you! My baby grownup so much." She whip freak tears away as I lightly hit her as I laugh." So does he make you feel amazing?" Yes I feel even more than amazing." Ah my little girl grown into a woman!" What do you mean?" You found someone who treats you right to even to a point that you crack a smile just at his name is mentioned."
I look down at the ground having some type of cover so I won't feel even more embarrassed than I'm already am . "But we just meet and we already have that kind of ?" Your souls must of have meet and fallen in love and promise to meet again in their lives."
Hella leaned onto her hands and cross her legs and looked at the dress. She showed a small smile but it was brighter than any smile I seen from her.
"As I made this dress I pictured you smiling brightly hand and hand with a person who loves you so much they give their life up for you. And I be there to see you smile your most beautiful smile in your whole life with tears in your eyes looking at the person who makes you feel like a goddess. I want you to finally feel the the love you deserve no matter what." Thank you Hella for everything." That's what I'm here for. Now let's stop crying and see you in this beautiful dress my dearest."
We laugh and went to the dressing room hand and hand. I put on the dress taking a little bit of time with all of the fabric. When the dress was finally on with everything in place I turned around to look in the tall framed mirror inside the room. I saw a different person I touched the mirror to make sure this was all real not just a dream. The dress just how I explain everything I said was here.
The lace falling into a endless river of patterns with sparkles of jewelry here and there. The fur coat there to protect me from the cold blast of winter.
Then the red fabric curtains was pulled open to see my family and Hella standing there while my father and mother was telling Hemera how beautiful she looked. Not expecting least even if the dress is not as beautiful as the one I'm in. When they heard the curtains was drawn they looked to me. They both gasped out of their control eyes looked at the dazzling dress on me. Trying to think of words that won't make Hemera upset but still make it look like they care about their daughter in the public eye.
Always trying to uphold their image no matter what. I waited for them to close their mouth and gather their thoughts. They must have been shocked a lot by seen me in this Hemera stop spinning and looking for compliments. Her eyes became wide as her smile faded then she drop the banquet of white peonies as she run up to me.
"You look so beautiful sister like a goddess!" Why thank you how do you like your dress? It fits you." I like but I don't look as beautiful as you sister I want a dress like that!" On your wedding day you can wear anything you choose to." She blocked me out and whipped around to Hella and asked." Do have anything like this I want to wear something like that for the wedding!"
Hella gave one of her best smiles and said." Sorry darling we only have bridesmaids dress in the shop I hand make all the dress when they get ordered and it take a few weeks to do." Hemera face shift again to sadness.
"That's probably why you so popular you give every dress the love and the care it deserves." Yes because this is the bride most precious day in her life with many more to come after she wear this dress. So I try my best for she can think back to her days as a young lady and remember her dress." Hemera looked as she understand the meaning of a wedding dress and she can't have the same as the bride.
I threw Hella a smile of thanks for we don't have to fight.
I looked over to see my mother and father had gathered their thoughts and ready to give the most image upholding things they ever say.
My mother walked over to Hemera and place her hands on her shoulders as she said." Don't your big sister look so lovely and beautiful she look like the princess she use to read to you when you was little my dear." Yeah mother she look so beautiful I hope my wedding day be like hers!"
Mother then looked over to me with a smile with a hidden meaning behind it." My dear daughter you look so graceful and beautiful everything I hope you be in life. I know when you become older and have children you be a beautiful mother that inspires others young women like yourself."
She took my hand as she said this with the helpers of Hella shops just eating it up like they wanted this kind of relationship with theirs mothers if they only know the truth they see they would never want a relationship with this lady. Then the storm hit as I knew it always do when the fake compliments stopped the real words comes from behind and attack like a wild beast. I still smile throughout the attack.
"But don't you think the dress don't look like you." But Erebus told me he like this." I gave a smile knowing she stop if the monster duke was mentioned. I turned around as the curtain closed the ending of this play. The dress followed my every movement leaving me feel like a real princess. I smiled in the mirror at myself feeling great.
The helpers help take off the dress I was reluctant to at first but remember in a few hours I be in the wonderful dress. I returned to my normal self the dress itself was lighter than my normal garments. Feeling tired and a strange uneven feeling in my chest trying to figure out what it is. Hella came in and smiled as she look at me in the crystal mirror.
" That feeling you going to have it in till the vows my dear." What is this?" You got to found out yourself but let me tell you. Your wedding is going make thousands of maidens cry tears because it's going to be a fairy tale more beautiful than theirs ever be." They still talk my dear." I let out airy chuckle." A wedding to die for my dear as I say so."
We laugh as we think about the faces of the guests that will be at my wedding when they see me.
