AN: I don't own 7th Heaven just Troy and Bella.
Chapter 34
Annie's POV
"I wonder what's taking them so long"
"Hey mom we're back" Ruthie said
"Great Mary wouldn't tell us her news till you got back."
"Okay. Well Carlos and I are moving back to Glen Oak"
"What?"
"I've got a job coaching the girl's basketball team and as Carlos is able to work from anywhere, so he doesn't mind moving here"
"Carlos if you need an office the one next to me is free." Ruthie told them.
"I'm really glad that you'll be back in Glen Oak Mary. I really want to get to know you better as we'll be family soon" martin said. "Oh and I wanted to discuss my groomsmen, if that's okay."
"Yeah Martin that's fine" I said.
"Well, I've already spoken to Mac and asked him to be my best man. I wanted to ask Carlos, Kevin, Simon, Sam and David if they would be my groomsmen"
"We'd love to" they all said.
"Hey what about me" matt said
"Well there's a reason for that matt" Ruthie said. "I would love for you to walk me down the aisle with mom as dad won't be able to"
"It would be an honour" matt said
"Thank you. Also I would really love for Mary, Lucy, Cecelia and Sarah to be my bridesmaids. I've already asked Bella to be my Maid of honour and Maggie to be my final bridesmaid."
"Ruthie that is so thoughtful"
A few weeks later
Ruthie's POV
Today is the day where I pick my wedding dress. I've tried on about a hundred dresses till I found the perfect one. It was made out of lace with a sweetheart neckline (Ruthie's Dress - signature_wedding_dresses/9781)
"How do I look?"
"Oh honey you look beautiful" my mom said with all my bridesmaids nodding along.
"This is the one." I said to the shop assistant "I'd like to purchase this dress."
"Great, there's a matching veil if you would like"
"Yes that would be great." Once I had paid for everything we went to look as bridesmaid dresses.
"Why don't we go in here?" Maggie suggested and we all followed her inside. The girls tried on quite a few dresses till we found one that looked good on all of the girls present and would also look good on Bella. I asked the sales girl if they had the dress in Bella's size so it could be kept to one side for us. It was a bandeau maxi dress with an embellished waste tie in a light blue.

"Wow you girls look great" my mom said.
"Do you have matching accessories. " I asked
"We have a matching clutch bag and a variety of shoes you can choose from" the sales girl answered
"Okay can we see the shoes first?"
"Sure" she went into the store room and bought out about 10 different pairs of shoes till I found the perfect pair (the shoes- . /view/product/office_catalog/2,60/1994533485)
"Thank you, these are prefect we'll take 6 pairs of these and 6 bags as well as the dresses (what the bag looks like - . /lara-blue-snake-effect-large-clutch-bag?gclid=Cj0KEQjw6cCuBRCh4KrGoJ6LoboBEiQAwzYsdPThcw9hHaK82s0Hy5VQK97wGdqRTrb11jxslzDiP38aAhWU8P8HAQ )"
"Sure I'll just go and ring these items up" I went and paid for everything
"Mom do you know what you are going to wear"
"Yes, don't worry about me"
"Okay, would you mind taking this stuff home I just want to pop in and see how charlotte is doing?"
"Sure sweetie"
I popped into work and saw that Charlotte was managing quite well I also wanted to check in and see what my schedule looked like. I had booked in to make the final decisions for the wedding and didn't want to be double booked.
Martin's POV
I'd already made sure that the restaurant where I had proposed was free for us to have the reception. Which it was so I didn't have to worry about that, I just needed to talk to the guys and make sure that they had their tuxes and needed to buy the ties. I also hadn't been able to see Ruthie in a few days and I really missed her. She was getting stuff sorted for the wedding I was halfway through packing to go back to New York when my phone started ringing.
"Hey baby"
"Hey Ruthie, what's up?"
"I just wanted to call you and say bye before you left for New York and tell you that I bought my wedding dress today and the bridesmaid dresses as well. I wanted to ask if you had spoken the restaurant yet."
"That's great, I'm sure that you'll look beautiful and yes I did. I gave them your number in case they needed to get in touch for any reason. I also told them that you would be in next Tuesday to talk about the menu and how you want the place to look. They said that you could come in anytime in the morning to do that."
"Thank you. I'll put that in my planner and talk the menu over with mum and see what she says. Have a safe flight and call me as soon as you get home"
"I love you and of course I will."
