Suiting and dressing up

Jack's POV:

"You look nice honey."

"Thanks Lou but I cant breath?"

Jack told his wife whilst fussing with the black bow tie currently strangling his neck

They were at home and trying out the wedding clothes Lou-Anne had bought in a mad rush between the catering and music preparations.

"Stop complaining you look great, unlike me who'll be resembling mother whale in this dress, I cant believe I've put on another stone this year!"

Jack stopped trying to loosen his bow and walked over to where Lou-Anne stood in front of the mirror an anxious look on her face at her reflection.

He put his arms around her as gently as the stiff tux permitted.

"You look great."

She gave a brief smile at the mirrored Jack then turned away shaking her head hopelessly.

"I wont next to Cherie, I'm telling you she'll be dressed in some designer outfit looking ten years younger next to me."

"I thought you and Cherie were Friends?"

She gave an impatient sigh and moved further away from him and the mirror;

"We are, its just sometimes I feel so embarrassed; she's the one paying for the venue and most of the catering and her and Vince are going to give them a present of a house. And I just don't want them to think Sharpay's marrying below-"

A flare of anger lit in Jack; "What that she's marrying below her?

Lou-Anne their modern people their not going to think that and I know were not as loaded as them but where not poor either."

She fiddled with her bracelet not taking a lot of comfort from his words. "I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the work there's still to do until Saturday, okay Jack take your tux off I don't want it getting dirty before the big day."

And with that she began changing out of her dress. Taking off he's own handsome, if slightly suffocating, tux, Jack frowned, deep in his own thoughts.

The last few days, or more the last few weeks he'd been a mess and now he felt worn out. But watching Lou-Anne changing, comprehension dawned on Jack; he hadn't known about the gift of a house to the newly weds, and yet why not get them a house?

Sharpay and Troy were going to get married on Saturday, they would live together maybe bring up a family and they would be happy, he even hopped they would be happy.

Knowing this, he felt all of a sudden better, he had finely accepted the inevitable wedding and he now knew what he needed to focus on.

He walked towards his wife and lifting her head gently with his hand kissed the top of her head, "Lou its going to be a great day, and what's more you'll look great in that dress."

As she smiled surprised up at him, Jack knew he would find the strength to sit through the ceremony.

Sharpay's POV:

"Shar, mums going to freak!"

"So we just wont tell her."

It was Wednesday morning; Sharpay and Ryan were currently standing in the lavish changing room at "L'amour…" boutique for bridal wear.

"Yeah it would probably giver her a heart attack if she knew you haven't picked your wedding dress 3 days before your wedding!"

"I just couldn't decide when we were here the other week okay."

Before the siblings could argue on about Sharpay's lack of dress a women entered the changing room; she was wearing a stylish black dress and had the appearance of someone who had never looked better then at middle age.

"You must be the bride to be who couldn't decide on the gown."

She said kindly and smiled at Sharpay and Ryan taking the formers hand softly in hers.

"Yep that's me and my mother thinks I already picked out a dress, which I haven't so I really need your help-"

"Call me Serena and worry not I will help you find the perfect dress, Cassie, bring in our summer collection."

A friendly faced and bespectacled Cassie came in, bringing with her boxes which when opened delicately by Serena revealed some of the most gorgeous dresses Sharpay had ever seen.

"Its no good."

Sharpay opened the curtains. She was on to her fourth dress now and beautiful as they had seemed in their boxes none of them seemed right on her.

And now she was facing Serena, Cassie and Ryan feeling close to a break down; at this rate she would be getting married in jeans.

"Your right it makes you look like a meringue."

Serena shook her head at the dress and Sharpay got back into the dressing room wondering if it was too late to have a nudist wedding…

"Darling don't bother with the other dresses, come out I think I have something that could work…"

Leaving Ryan and Cassie downstairs, Sharpay was led up the stairs of the boutique, they entered what appeared to be some more private changing rooms.

Serena disappeared to hunt down the little something that she thought might work.

"What do you think?"

Sharpay looked up at the dress Serena was holding up as delicately as if it were made of porcelain.

The dress wasn't like the others; it had no big glittering jewels or bold colours, it wasn't even fully white and yet there was a simple elegance to it.

Taking it she closed the curtain behind her and slipped it on, she made a silent prayer before turning to face the mirror.

Her prayer was answered and she was left slightly speechless at her reflection; the dress fitted her body like a glove and its beautiful simplicity seemed to enhance her features; her shape, her tanned skinned that showed through the strapless part and her hair that waved against the material almost part of the dress itself.

"Serena its beautiful."

She came out of the changing room and smiled happily, for the first time that day, at the older women.

"That's the one!"

I'm going to try and add a link to my profile of the dress. Whoopee I turn 17 tomorrow! Please let me wake up to a pile of reviews!
