Today’s the big day! I can’t believe how well I slept! Lucky I set the alarm. Straight to the shower and wash my hair.



‘Morning Em…. I know you probably don’t feel like eating but you need to anyway so I’ve made us some omelets. Hope you don’t mind me helping myself in your kitchen’
‘Believe it or not I’m famished Thankyou! How did you sleep?’
‘not too bad, how about you? Are you nervous?’



‘actually no, I’m feeling incredibly calm….probably got it all out of my system over the last few weeks…plus I’ve done everything so…oh no…’
‘what’
‘I haven’t organized a celebrant’
‘you don’t need one’
‘huh??”
‘you don’t need one here, as long as you exchange vows and rings it’s legal’

This town never ceases to amaze me.



‘ok well I’m heading off to the hotel to get ready, can I throw something of yours on until I get my clothes?’
‘go for it, there’s some t-shirts and shorts in my top drawer, help yourself’
‘thanks, I’ll be back in a few hours…is there anything you need before I go?’
‘nope, everything’s taken care of, oh and thanks so much for brekkie’



‘no problem, see you when I get back’
‘ok bye hun’

I don’t have a lot of space to work with here, good thing it’s a small intimate do. Just enough room for a small dance floor, throw some balloons around. Tables are set…hmm I think I’ll put the cake table here…can’t resist scattering some rose petals along my fake aisle.

Well it’s not much but it’s all we really want.



At least I can sell everything back when it’s over. I’ll have to be sure to take some pictures before the guests arrive.
What am I doing now? Oh right my hair, hmm where did I put that bridal magazine? There’s a really nice style in there I should be able to copy.



I wonder if the tiara is too much? Stuff it! I’ve always wanted to wear one and this is my day right? It’s probably the only chance I’ll ever have.



‘I’M BACK’

Eek Is my make-up too dark? I don’t want to look like a drag queen *sigh*

‘ok April, tell me honestly, what do you think?’
‘oh Emalita, you look beautiful’
‘really? My make-up isn’t too vampish is it?’



‘no sweetie not at all, it looks lovely…and you’re hair, the tiara, it all works hon, you’ve done a fabulous job on yourself’
‘you don’t think the tiara is too much? Please don’t lie to me’
‘no Em, it’s the perfect touch, and you should know I wouldn’t lie to you, you really do look beautiful honey…but you’re missing something..... hmmm’



‘and I have that something right here, pearl stud earrings, my gift to you’
‘aww thank you’
‘now you look perfect’
‘hey, you look pretty good yourself! Isn’t that dress gorgeous? I bought the same one for Jane too’




‘it is! And it was very generous of you……now let me help you with your dress, I can’t wait to see it’
