Book 1: Chapter 19
I woke up without an inkling of nervousness, maybe because I knew with all my heart that this was the man that I was destined to be with. I had looked forward to this day and welcomed it with open arms.
I laid there in the warm bed trying to make an agenda list in my head. I had a lot to do and did not want to forget anything. This may be my second wedding, but it would be Kyle’s first and I wanted everything to be perfect. I was sure it didn’t matter to him if it were perfect or not, but it mattered to me that he have the wedding he deserved.
A quiet krock came at the door as I was mentally checking things off of the list.
“Are you ready for the big day?” Angelique asked me with excitement in her voice
“Absolutely I was just trying to figure out what needed to be done?
“Don’t worry. I already made a list. I want you to be able to enjoy this day. If you need anything, that is what I am here for She pulled out a piece of pink paper and placed it before me. I had to giggle. Not only did it have a list of things to do, but it had tiny hearts intertwining one another scribbled all over the page in red ink. I wasn’t sure who was more excited, Angelique or I

“Looks like you have everything on the list that I can think of. I sure hope I don’t forget anything. I think I will start by getting in the bath. I am going to mss this place, Ang, especially your bathtub.”
“You can come over anytime. In fact, I expect some sleepovers now and again. I have enjoyed having you here with me.” Sh looking as if she were choking back tears and began to walk to the door She took a moment to control the quiver in her voice before she said, “Tim going
with me.” She got up from the bed to go call the caterer and florist and make sure everything is on schedule. See ya after your bath.” She closed the door behind her leaving me to get a start to my day.
I slowly crawled out of the comfort of the plush bed for what was probably the last time for quite a while. As much as I loved being here, I could not see wanting to leave Kyle’s side anytime soon.
After relaxing in the tub for far too long, I regretfully climbed out of the still warm water wiping off any bubbles that remained clinging to my body. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it about me. I snatched another smaller towel off of the countertop and twisted my hair into it and flipped it up on my
sat at the vanity and rubbed some lotion that smelled of jasmine and chernes over my legs that were smooth as a baby’s butt. Angelique took me yesterday to get waxed, she said that nothing will run a honeymoon night like stubbly legs. It was my fest experience with waxing and I have to say that it was not nearly as bad as I had thought it would be. The anticipation of the cloth ripping the hair from my legs was far worse than the actual pulling of the
I looked in the mirror to put moisturizer on my face. The reflection was much older than the last time I was preparing for my wedding day, but I could see happiness in my eyes that was not there the first time around. I felt like I was beaming with health, newness and pure joy.
I did not need to put on any make–up because we were going to a spa to get our hair and make–up done. I untwisted the towel upon my head and used it to squeeze any wetness lingering in my hair. I combed through it in order to release any tangles and sprayed it with a thermal protectant. I was just going to let it air dry, but I was sure that they would use all kinds of hot styling tools on it at the spa and I didn’t want to damage it.
I went to the bench at the foot of the bed where I had placed the outfit that I had already picked out for this morning’s activity. I was going with a pair of blue jeans, a white t–shirt and a light weight jacket. I would don a pair of flip flops to prevent any scuffing of my soon to be fresh pedicure,
We took my wedding dress to the venue last night so that it would be one less thing to worry about today. I just needed to take all my accessories with me I grabbed the jewelry that Angelique and I spent so much time picking out. We chose a delicate Y-neck flower drop necklace that had a beautiful combination of pearls and diamonds set in silver and a matching set of dangle earrings.
I opted not to go with a well and chose a silver and crystal floral and pearl cluster headband instead. I still have not decided whether to wear my hair up or down and with the headband, I could do either
I placed all the jewelry in my black velour drawstring jewelry pouch that my sister, Katie had bought for me and had embroidered with a silv which would in hours be my new monogram.

Iran through the list in my head and made sure that I had everything that I would need packed in a shoulder bag. Once I was certain I had all i needed. I made any way down to the kitchen to find Angelique on the phone talking sternly to the florist insisting that all the flowers should be at the venuc withen the hour. Her tone didn’t change much when she hung up with the florist and began speaking to me. It is about time you made it down here We need to get going, we have a lot to do Are you ready?”
“Yes, malam
I picked up my purse off of the bar stool and took it and my bag to the front door. I could see Angelique looking over the list that she had made and making intle check mark motions with her finger by several of the items. When she made it to the bottom of the list, she tucked it in her purse, plucked her keys off the counter and followed me out the door.

She must have really felt like we were in a time crunch because she was driving far too fast for my liking. She always was a fast driver, but she was pushing them today. We fortunately made it to the spa without incident, however, my heart felt as if it were pounding out of my chest. If I were

Peceiving manicure and pedicure and having several people waiting on me and treating me like a queen put me back into a relaxed state: I gave the hairdresser permission to do as she saw fit for an elegant wedding style. When she spun my chair around to look in the large mirror, I was pleasantly
She had pulled my hair back into an updo, but left several long witpy ringlets throughout that gave it a very romantic feel. She had the headband placed in there so that it would not fall out even during a full night of dancing. I was very happy with the outcome and could not wait to see it with the dress and jewelry on to get the full effect
As much as i hated to leave all the pampering, we needed to get to the venue and check that everything was going according to plan, I knew that Angelique had been on her phone penodically checking on things, but I needed to see it for myself. So, we made our way to her car and headed to the
when we arrived, there were people buzzing about everywhere. In the dining room, tables and chairs were being moved about, Menus and name cards were being placed on the tables already in place. In the area where the ceremony was to be held, flowers, bows and candles were being placed strategically it was beginning to look just like I had envisioned. It was beautiful, elegant and romantic.
Seeing that everything was in competent hands, I retreated to the dressing room where my dress was hanging. There were only about 45 minutes emanng before I needed to be ready to head down the aisle

“Well, are you about ready to get in that gown? I will help you”
“Sure
Katie walked over to the dress bag and began to unap it. As she was doing that, I heard my phone vibrate in my purse. I pulled it out and looked to see that I had a text message from Kyle.

A smide immediately materialized upon my face. I sent him a quick reply
And will my husband, Beefcake. I love u2.
I placed my phone back in my purse and started to undress, I put on a bustier that had a tie that crisscrossed through eyelets up the full length of my back. Katie pulled the string snuggly so as to keep my breasts securely in position to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions.
Katie held the top of my dress open down by my feet so that I could gingerly step into it. Once inside, I pulled it up and held it in place by placing both hands on my boobs while Katie buttoned every single tiny button. It was quite the task, but she managed with swift precision
