Love you all, now let's get on with the story already
Ally walked back up the stairs after she put Melody in her therapy walking chair. She saw that she was getting toward the back of the closet and that the next dress was from her prom. It was light pink and had a slit that ran up mid- thigh. She wandered back to the day she choose the dress.
Flash Back
Ally and her best friends Trish and Kira walked into the dress boutique called Peaches. They tried on dresses for hours on end and every dress Ally had the least bit of interest in her best friends turned down. When she thought there was no hope for her today Kira walked toward Ally with a dress in Ally's favorite color. "Kira! I love this dress! I cannot believe I didn't find it before." Ally exclaimed.
"I thought you and Austin both would like it." She said followed by a waggle of her eyebrows. Ally playfully smacked Kira's arm and told her to shut up. While she went to try on the dress Trish and Kira patiently sat on a couch in front of a three way mirror. When Ally walked out the girls were breath taken.
"Ally, that dress is just… Wow." Trish said.
"I know right! I surprisingly love the slit, showing some skin." Ally replied. Kira snickered and Ally shot her a glare. "What is it Kira, jealous?" Ally asked jokingly, striking a pose.
"Oh no I am just amazed at how… Un- Ally you are being." She replied. Ally rolled her eyes.
"Well I love the dress Al and I think Austin will love it too." Trish replied. Ally gave her a smile. Kira got a blood red dress that had a mermaid skirt. Trish got a pink and zebra ball gown dress that had zebra painted feathers and bling and to be honest, was a little- well a lot- overwhelming.
The actual prom night was so much fun for Austin and Ally. They danced and danced until the DJ told them to leave. Ally was voted prom queen and Austin was Prom king. When they had their special dance and it was just them they got lost in one another's eyes. Prom was held in the ballroom at the Best Western Hotel. Austin got them a hotel room and they stayed the night there, although nothing happened. The next day they went swimming in the pool and then went home. Ally couldn't have imagined a night that was more fun.
End of Flashback
Ally pushed the dress to the other side of the closet and saw the big white bag that signaled the back of her closet. She whipped the gargantuan dress onto her bed. She unzipped it and saw a white, A-line ball gown with see-through lace sleeves and the lace went up to her collar bone. She remembered the night she got married like it was yesterday.
Flash Back
Ally, Trish, Kira, Cassidy, Ella, Jasmine, and Penny were in one of the three 'dressing rooms' the hotel provided for them. Trish was Ally's maid of honor, of course. They were all getting ready, bustling around to make Ally and themselves look as perfect as possible. Ally was at the moment sitting in her pale pink robe in a chair in front of a vanity mirror. Penny was doing her hair in a half-up, half-down style. Trish stood in front of her doing her makeup, what made Ally nervous is that Trish wasn't letting her see herself. When Trish back away to let Ally see herself she was stunned. Trish kept the makeup on the natural tone with dark browns and gold's. Penny did an amazing job on her hair. When she put on her dress she felt like she was a princess, she had the veil that had a little tiara head piece on it that gave Ally the finishing touch. Ally's bridesmaids walked out of the room in their very simple, but elegant, black dresses. They each had a tiny bouquet of white roses and Ally carried and large bouquet of red succulent roses.
When Ally walked out every one let out a little gasp at how beautiful she looked. Like she hopped right out of their dreams. Instead of having the violins play they had the youth choir sing "Here Comes the Bride" Since she loved to sing herself. As she came down the aisle everyone was crying because the choir and her and the whole wedding atmosphere made everyone, even Austin, teary.
"Who gives this woman up?" The minister asked.
"I do." Lester said, misty eyes. Ally gave her dad a kiss on the cheek and went up to the alter. After all of the boring stuff were the vows. Austin decided he wanted to go first.
"Ally Marie Dawson, the minute I saw you I knew that we would be together forever and I was right. Today I will marry my friend, the one I will live with, dream with and love. I take you to be my wife.
From this day forward I will cherish you, I will look with joy down the path of our tomorrow's knowing we will walk it together side by side, hand in hand and heart to heart." He concluded. By the end of his vows everyone in the room including him are crying their eyes out.
"Austin Monica Moon, I love you so much it hurts. Every time I see you I fall in love all over again. I want us to be that couple where everyone thinks, 'Wow, they're still together?' I never want to stop falling in love with you. I want to be able to look beside me every morning with you right beside me so we can cuddle. I want you beside me so wherever life takes me you can be my carry-on. I have seen the best of you and the worst of you, and I choose both. Today and always, beyond tomorrow, I need you beside me, as a best friend, a lover, and a soul mate." She concluded.
They slipped the rings on each other's fingers and the minister pronounced them husband and wife. They kissed and the rest of the night was history…
End of Flash Back
Ally cried, not because she was sad but because she was so happy that everything in her life had turned out so wonderful, even if her mom had died. She knew that even though her mom wasn't physically with her, she was with her in her heart and that's what counted. She remembered something that her mom had told her when her Mammy (Grandma) died. Some people come in to our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints in our heart. And we are never, ever the same.
The End.
