Thank you for all your lovely words! It really means a lot to me! I'm back home now and due to finish my college course around June 10th so I will have plenty of time to post a few more updates! :)
"So I was thinking of these for the colour of the flowers for the centerpieces." Ana says, tilting the laptop towards me so I can see what's she's looking at. Even though we came away to get away from the wedding planning, there just little bits that need finishing off and I think Ana just wanted some alone time to think of them for herself instead of everyone having their input, namely Mia. I love her, but she needs to calm down with the entire wedding thing! I have to keep reminding her that its not her wedding and she can't take control over everything.
It's a stunning off white and the palest of pink flower arrangement.
"Yes I like that too, especially the way they look together." I smile. I really don't care what sort of flowers they are, all I care about is that fact that I'm marrying her and anything she picks will look good, I'm not shooting her down because I want this day to be specifically the way she wants it.
"I'll add it to my list," she pulls a notepad into her lap and makes a note of it.
"Now, next is what we're doing for music, what do you suggest?"
"I have no idea, what's the music for?" I enquire.
"A general playlist and the song for our first dance," she cheekily grins at me. She's so cute I could just squeeze her.
"I haven't got a clue baby, leave that one with me and I'll get back to you," I smile, running my hand up her bare freshly moisturised leg.
"Fair enough, is there anything else we need to look at or talk about?" She asks, placing the notepad back on the bed beside her and pulling the laptop closer again.
"I don't think so, oh yes, I was thinking of doing this instead of a guestbook, what do you think?" She turns the laptop to me again, showing me a webpage of 'Alternative Guestbook Ideas' and with an idea of a scrapbook with guests polaroid photos in and a message written underneath, that's a pretty cool idea actually.
"That's an awesome idea, do we have to set up a photo booth or something?" I query.
"Yes, I asked Jose if he had a photobooth we could use and he said yes and he'll set it up, so all we need is the scrapbook and the pens and stuff," she smiles, my Ana has found something that's going to stay with her for a while with this wedding momentum.
"Well add it to your list and send Mia to get it when we're home." I smile, leaning up and kissing her forehead before I head off to the bathroom.
When I exit the bathroom, I find that Ana has pushed her laptop, notebook and the magazine she was reading onto my side of the bed. And it snuggled up under the covers.
"You asleep already?" I joke.
"Nearly, I have a slight headache, I've had enough of wedding stuff for today," she sighs and I climb onto the bed on top of the covers.
"I don't blame you, baby, Mia has some extravagant ideas, huh?" I say tucking some hair behind her ear and trailing my thumb down the side of her face.
"Yep, she's very extravagant with her ideas." She chuckles, sighing and squinting.
"You want to get some sleep? I'll pull the black out blinds down?"
"Please that would be great, thank you," she smiles, and I lean down and kiss her. Ana's kisses calm me in any situation, I love her so so much.
I flip a switch on my side of the bed to bring the blinds down. Before going and grabbing my laptop to catch up on some work, I get a glass of water and some tablets for Ana just in case she needs them when she wakes up.
While working on my laptop I have my fingers linked into Ana's that are resting on top of the comforter, I gently stroke back and forth, calming her and calming myself.
Clicking through my emails I stumble on one from the Esclava Admin team.
Curious I open it, I don't usually receive emails from them.

Christian,
I was just wonder if I should expect an invite to your wedding seeing as the news is now out.
So will I be expecting an invite?

Is she serious? Absolutely not a chance in hell am I letting her come to mine and Ana's wedding with her atrocious behaviour at my birthday a few weeks ago.
I hit reply.

Are you kidding me?
First off you know not to send me emails from a staff email.
And secondly, you cannot be serious? There is no chance that you're getting an invite to our wedding, it's mine and Ana's day and I don't want you to ruin it like you did at my birthday party, which by the way is still a sour subject between my Mom and me.
Now, don't email me again.

I quietly close my laptop and slide it onto the floor beside me, too angered to do any more work, the woman can think again if I'm going to let her ruin my wedding day.
