I own nothing.

The next day/ Saturday/ Three weeks till H/V's wedding/ YAY

Coreen picked her up and drove to their appointment.

"So," Coreen prattled on, "thanks for making me your bridesmaid."

Vicki blushed, "It's the least I could do."

"Well, to show my appreciation, I did some snooping. I found out some surprises that Henry has planned for you. They're all good, but do you want to know or would you rather be surprised?" Coreen asked.

"I hate surprises. Tell me."

"First, you really liked his grey suit, huh?" At Vicki's nod, she continued, "He's wearing it for the wedding, and his best man is wearing a grey suit as well. That is surprise number two, he knew it would mean a lot if Mike was there, so he asked Mike to be his best man."

Vicki gaped at her. And so she continued, "I know right? But apparently they've buried the hatchet, and not in each other's backs either, which I think is a good sign."

"Oh good God. I'm glad it's in a church. They're both Catholic, maybe they'll behave," Vicki said.

"Oh and the florist said the bouquets are red roses, red calla lilies, white oriental lilies, white daisies, and amaryllis. The mock up she showed me was gorgeous."

"Wow, he's not doing too bad, huh?" Vicki asked no one in particular.

"I know," Coreen giggled, "He was probably a wedding planner in a past life. Well for him, I guess just a past century?"

At this point they were at their appointment being ushered into a work room. Anna, the purveyor of dreams, as Henry called her regarding her dress creations, greeted them warmly.

"So, you are the beautiful bride! What can I do for you?"

"Well," Vicki began, "We need a red halter dress for Coreen here, tea length, similar to this,"she said pointing to a picture of Coreen at her mom's wedding. At Coreen's questioning look, Vicki said, "It looked nice on you."

Procuring a picture of herself at the wedding, Vicki continued, "My dress should look like this," gesturing toward the plum and lavender dress. "Only, I want the lavender part in white and the plum part in red. Floor length and a short train."

"Did you want beading on the red trim?" Anna asked sketching.

"Well, we need both done in two weeks so if you can yes, but if not, I won't cry about it."

Then, Anna proceeded to take their measurements and thank them warmly.

Walking to the car, Coreen asked, "Henry picked out the purple dress, didn't he?"

"Yes."

"You looked good in it. I admit I was surprised when you said you had an idea of what your wedding dress should look like. I can't see Vicki Nelson dreaming about the church wedding even at the age of five or ten." Coreen chuckled.

"I didn't," Vicki admitted. "But, Henry will love it, and this is the practically the only thing he hasn't done since he became a vampire. He deserves the wedding every little girl dreams about," she said snickering gleefully.

You didn't really think Vic had been dreaming about the wedding dress... You�all know her better than that. Our Vic dreams about Glocks and AK's and Berettas, Oh my. But she did do something that will make Henry happy. So she's forgiven, right?
