"Umm no, maybe not" Ianto said to himself looking the mirror looking at wedding dresses.

"Umm maybe that one, always have been partial to cream with frills and a small white fine silk pattern. H the feel of silk so smooth, so clean and crisp" Ianto continued to talking to herself before being interrupted by the sales assistant.

"Can I help you with anything sir?" the assistant said looking at Ianto, making him turn around, smiling "Um no, I think I have everything under control"

"Ok Then well I will be right over here if you need me ok" the assistant said smiling as he started to walk off.

"Ah actually I need to ask you something, and please be honest" looking right at the assistant. "Ah ok" the assistant replied

"Does my ass look big in the dress? It's just that, well I can't decide between this dress" the one Ianto was trying on over himself "Or that more creamy plain colour dress. It's just that. . . well I want my day, no our day to be special and this dress has to be special if you get what I mean" he said pointing to the dress over the chair next to him

"Well both are quite nice but ah if you don't mind me saying, they are mainly more traditional style dresses but if I can suggest a different type of dress altogether?" the assistant said as Ianto looked at him funny at first but slowly nodded in response

"Ok just wait here" the assistant said walking out to the back room.

Ianto waited for a few minutes, still thinking and looking over the dresses he had tried on and could never make up his mind at all. His mind and his heart kept telling him to go with the second dress as the assistant came back.

"Now this is more your style and well better suited I think" he said, placing the garment in Ianto hands. It was pure white, with the lightest of light blue silk woven swirls through it. As plain as it was, the swirls made it even more special as Ianto put it on, he's eyes sparkled and lit up, instantly falling in love with the dress

He loved it, even more than the other dresses he had been trying on. He could finally picture the big day. The day starting off with panic and chaos but in the end the day becoming perfect, walking down the aisle and finally marry the man of his dreams. He's prince in shining armour.

"It's. . . It's perfect. Absolutely perfect, Thank you" Ianto smiled through the mirror to the assistant as the assistant smiled back and said "You're welcome and well if I might say, the person who finally gets to marry you in the dress, well he is the luckiest man on this planet because you are beautiful"

Ianto instantly blushed, knowing that what the assistant said was true as he replied back "Yes. . . yes he is" as he returned back to the dress and his thoughts returned to the big day, something to which he looked forward to very much.

The countdown now beginning to that day.
