Ariana's pov:
I ,Cynthia, and Evelyn browse through rows of stunning wedding gowns
"Oh, girls! I'm so overwhelmed. There are too many beautiful dresses, they have the best "
"Yh, That's what makes it fun! Try on a few, and we'll see what looks best".
"Sisterly advice, Start with the ones you like online. We can narrow it down.
I nod, "Okay."
I pick up a dress. " This lace mermaid gown is gorgeous."
Cy, looked at it impressed
"Stunning! Try it on."
With that I head to the dressing room
From behind the dressing room I can hear my girls discussing.
"I'm so happy for her. She deserves all the happiness in the world "
"Yh I agree, Ari's been waiting for this moment. She and chase are perfect."
I return, wearing the mermaid gown twirling
"What do you think?"
Evelyn spoke up " to be honest, Beautiful, but it accentuates your hips. Try something else."
Just the kind of honesty I need .
"Maybe something with a defined waist? " Cy chimes in
I nod ar that and scream "Next!"
We continue browsing and trying on dresses
I try on this other one. Looks more like a Ball gown than a wedding dress but I like it nonetheless
"This one's my dream dress!"
Cy looks awed "Wow! You look like a princess."
"Let's Check the price tag.we don't want to spend all the money we have right now. We literally need all the money we can get right now. Especially with the whole bankruptcy thingy."
"Way to ruin the mood eve, anyways '
That's when my eyes meet the price tag I gasps
" $5,000!"
"Worth it! You'll feel like royalty."
Cy wasn't bothered, off course she would'nt she wasing paying anything. I laughed at that.
"Consider your budget." They was Evelyn being the reasonable one. Oh how did I get so lucky with my girls?!
I agree with Evelyn "You're right. Next!"
The next dress is a sheath Gown
"This one's simple. Too plain?"
" Simple elegance. You shine, not the dress."
"I agree, Shows off your figure."
"Yh, I like it." And I actually do but I wasn't going to stop at that . I just had to be sure
The next dress is a strapless dress
"Is this too revealing?"
" Yh a bit. And it's your day ,you want to feel comfortable not uncomfortable "
"Chase will love it!" Cy joked
I laugh "it's not just chase that'd be at the wedding you know "
After trying on several dresses
"Ah, I need a break. I'm so exhausted"
"Yh let's grab chilled juice "
"Yh sure but before we do , Ari Narrow down your favorites first."
Ah, smart Evelyn. What would I fi without her?
"ok my top three are the mermaid, ball gown, and sheath."
" Now, chilled juice "
We take a break, sipping chilled orange juice and discussing dresses
After our little break we were back to the gowns again
Okay so finally I'm going with the sheath dress
"Guys I think I'm going for this. Yh?"
" It's gorgeous Ari but it'll need little alterations before it's fully ready, don't you think so Cy?"
"Yh I agree, the hips should be worked on a bit and maybe a few rhinestones here and there "
I
"Okay okay, I'm so glad you two came with me today " I say hugging them both. The hug Evelyn wiggled her way out of. We all giggled at that.
I call the store attendant to talk about the alterations.
Presently I was being measured by the boutique assistant to ensure a perfect fit,
" we'll take in the hips and adjust the length."
I was a bit concerned about that
"Will it still look the same?"
"Yes absolutely, the changes will enhance your silhouette."
"Yay, you'll look stunning, Ari."
"What's the timeline for alterations?" Evelyn asked
"Just a week, as promised."
With that we left .
You're probably wondering why my mom didn't show up today as promised.
Well she apparently she caught the flu from someone at the office.
My dad had been the bearer of the bad news.
Anyways, it was a successful day. I'd just have to send my mum a few pictures of the dress for her to coo over.
All I wantes to do right now was blab about it over the phone, probably face time with my fiance.
So I get back to my apartment, take a shower and order pizza for lunch .
I spend the next thirty minutes of waiting for my order to arrive talking with chase
"Hey baby, what's up. Haven't heard from you in a while"
"I'm sorry babe , I've been so busy and something else came up at the company. Something we're trying to rectify.
" Oh okay, well how was your day?"
"Ummm lets see", he puts his fingers on his chin pretending to think,
"Well I had Cheerios for breakfast"
"Cereal?"
"Yh "
"C'mon babe you can do better than that "
"Yh says my fiancee who just ordered pizza "
I laugh at that
"Okay, touche' . Wait how did you know?"
He started laughing" see that's the thing, I didn't. You just exposed yourself "
" Wow, I really did shoot myself in the leg right?"
"Yh you did babe" he responded smiling
How did end up with someone so sweet damn!!
" Anyways how'd your own day go?"
"Oh ! I've been waiting for that question from you all day"
" Take it easy babe " he said chuckling.
" Well , I and the girls went shopping today for my dress and guess what? I finally found it!! I would show you but that's supposed to be bad luck . You know showing you..."
I literally talked his ear off until I had to end the call to help my tummy when my door bell rang signaling the arrival of my order .
