"Hey Miss P, you ready to go?" Mercedes asked. Will had cut glee practice short so he could do a conference call with the heads of the Ohio state show choir board to discuss the nationals, so the girls had arranged to go help Emma pick out a wedding dress. Kurt had also insisted on coming along because he believed his fashion instincts could come in handy.

"I'll be right there," Emma replied, finishing up her paperwork. She left her office to meet Mercedes in the hallway and together they walked through the corridors and outside to the student parking lot where Kurt and the other girls were waiting outside Kurt's SUV. Kurt helped Emma into the passenger seat and the other girls piled into the other seats behind her. He hopped into the driver's seat, revved up the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, driving towards downtown Lima.

"Is there a specific dress you're looking for, Miss Pillsbury?" inquired Santana.

"I haven't really thought of it yet," Emma confessed. "Nor have I thought about bridesmaids' dresses. I had no idea planning a wedding was so much work."

"Don't worry about the bridesmaid dresses," Mercedes said, "I'll design them for you. A friend of my mom is a seamstress, so she'll put them together."

"You don't mind doing this, Mercedes?" Emma asked.

"Not at all, Miss P," Mercedes replied. "I'll show you some sketches I've been working on later. Consider it a wedding present from me."

"With our help, you'll find the perfect dress," said Tina, "we won't have time to go hunting in Orlando because of nationals and all that." Finally Kurt pulled into a parking space outside the bridal shop.

"Everyone out," he called.

The eight were checking out dresses once inside the shop. Emma was standing with Kurt as she looked at a few herself. He studied her from all angles.

"What you should be looking for," he advised, "is something simple and not too over the top. You have a very nice frame and something flowing would work best on you."

"And it should be easy to dance in," suggested Quinn, walking over.

"Can I help you?" a saleswoman named Alicia asked.

"Yes, this young lady is searching for a wedding dress," Kurt said, indicating Emma. "She doesn't know exactly what she's looking for, so my friends and I are here to help her out."

"Come with me, dear," Alicia said to Emma, and she led her to a mirror near the fitting room. She took her measurements just as Brittany called from across the room.

"I think I found something!" Alicia sent another saleswoman over to Brittany's side and took a dress off the rack. She brought it over to Emma, Kurt studied it closely.

"I think this could work," he said finally, "you should try it on." Emma took the dress from the saleswoman who was holding it along with a box containing a pair of shoes and went into the fitting room to change.

The rest of the girls joined Kurt and the two salesladies at the entranceway to the fitting room just as Emma stepped out in the dress Brittany found. It was a fluid, strapless column of white satin that bared her shoulders and collarbones beautifully. The bodice was sewn with intricate beading, the dress itself tapered in at Emma's waist and flared out into a flowing skirt. A yellow sash was tied around her waist with trails that dropped down to the hem of the skirt, and she wore white satin high-heeled shoes.

"Oh, Miss Pillsbury, you look beautiful," said Rachel with a sigh.

"Dang girl, that dress is the bomb," said Mercedes.

"It's like you stepped out of a fairytale," said Quinn.

"And it fits you perfectly," added Alicia. She had Emma turn around so everyone could view the dress from all angles. All the girls sighed in unison. Kurt's face broke into a wide smile as he looked at Brittany appreciatively.

"I don't know what drew you to that dress, Brittany," he said, "but our bride-to-be looks like a princess in it."

"I guess it was just an intuition, whatever that is," Brittany replied.

"I'll take it," Emma said. "I think this dress is the one."

"Wonderful," said Alicia. "Just go back to the fitting room and I'll have Melissa take it to the register for you." Emma obeyed, and the saleswoman named Melissa went in after her. Minutes later, Melissa emerged with the dress, now carefully wrapped in plastic, and the shoe box, and took it over to the register where Alicia now stood. Emma emerged right after, back in her own clothes. She went to the register, Kurt and the girls following close behind.

"So, when is the big day?" Alicia asked as she entered the prices into the register.

"May 22, my fiancé and I are getting married in Orlando at the Grand Floridian Resort," replied Emma. "He's a co-worker of mine at McKinley High."

"They are so totally in love with each other," added Tina.

"I'm so happy to hear that," Alicia said. She told Emma the total of her purchase, and Emma in turn reached into her purse, got out her wallet and pulled out a credit card with a plastic-gloved hand. Alicia accepted it and swiped it through the register.

"Lucky for me I had enough saved up to buy the dress," Emma said, a relieved look on her face as she received her credit card back and signed the receipt.

"Now all we have to do is find you some jewelry," said Santana. "I know some good places, perhaps I can help you pick some out."

"That's most kind of you, Santana," Emma said kindly. The dress and the shoebox were handed over the counter to her, who then passed the wrapped dress to Kurt and the shoebox to Rachel.

"There you are," said Alicia, "and good luck with your wedding. I hope it's a success."

"Believe me, it will," Emma replied. "And thank you." She and the others left the shop and gently placed her purchases in the back of Kurt's SUV. Everyone piled into the vehicle for the ride back to McKinley High.

"Mercedes, could I see those sketches now?" Emma asked. With a nod, Mercedes opened her bag and pulled out a sketchbook, passing it to the passenger seat. She had been working on designs for bridesmaid dresses for the last few days until she came up with one that she liked. The first page of the book was the finished design – a simple yet flirty strapless tea-length dress that ended just above the knee with a wide sash around the waist tied at the side.

"I was thinking of pale yellow chiffon for the dress and periwinkle satin for the sash, since Mr. Schu told me those were your favorite colors," said Mercedes. "What do you think?"

"I love it," Emma said. Mercedes beamed.

"Thanks, Miss P."
