Happy Spring Break everybody! Gosh I'm so glad to be on spring break with no rehearsals until 6 every night, no English projects due, no stress over my 3 AP classes next year *hyperventilates*, and next week I'm going to WILLIAMSBURG with the orchestra and chorus at my school for a trip and I'm going to photograph and film everything *so things may go up on tumblr if you follow me when I get home saturday night* btw if you wanted to follow me my username is i-am-the-wall (it's like a really good pun on my last name xD)
Anyway sorry if the last two chapters that I uploaded the notes sounded robotic-I had a friend over and it was 2 in the morning and she wanted to read my writing so I was trying to get them into my uploading queue really fast and I kind of bs'd the authors notes which was not fair to you guys and I apologize.
Now here it comes with another two in one, should I do a chapter countdown until the wedding? Yeah I should.
Approximately: 11 Chapters until the wedding (yeah I cut down on a few that were just a bunch of weird nonsense I wrote at like 2 in the morning that made no sense and instead of 20 wedding prep chapters, there's like 11)
Enjoy :3

Emily smiled as she walked into work, and saw Tyra right away.
"Tyra!" Emily calls and runs to catch her.
"Hey! How was the family meeting?" Tyra asked.
"One of them doesn't hate me, and we've actually got a final date, still finding a place for the reception but we know where the service is going to be." Emily says.
"Great, when will we be getting the save the date cards?" Tyra asks as they walk into the locker room.
"Whenever Micah and I can get them made-anyway that's not what I wanted to talk to you about." Emily says opening her locker.
"What was it then?" Tyra asks.
"Well as you know you are my best friend." Emily says.
"Of course, that's a given." Tyra says smiling.
"And I was wondering if you'd be my maid of honor?" Emily asks.
Tyra freezes before looking at Emily and asks,
"Seriously?" Emily nods and says,
"Yeah." Tyra smiles and then hugs Emily. Emily hugs her back and then Tyra says,
"Of course, thank you-wow I probably should've seen this coming, but I didn't-when did you two decide."
"September 20th." Emily says. "Third Saturday in September."
"Wow, that's soon." Tyra said. Emily nods and says,
"Once I tell the rest of the bridal party about it it'll be all set."
"Who is it?"
Emily looks around before saying,
"Cassandra and Mary."
"Who's Mary?" Tyra asks.
"My half sister , since we met on Friday we've been texting back and forth, she actually has a job interview to be a nurse here today, and we have more in common than I thought. We both play instruments-she plays the viola like Dave, she's not a birthday person. And according to everybody who's seen us together and Micah we look exactly like each other except she's ginger and has dark brown eyes."
"Wow, that's cool." Tyra said. "So I know this is a weird question, but are you going to have your Dad walk you down the aisle?"
"No." Emily says. "I've only really had one stable male figure in my life for more than a year ever and even though things got a bit mucky along the way, it's still nice. I mean I'm not going to ask him for like until I give him his wedding invitation."
"Who?" Tyra asks.
"Will." Emily says.
"Say what?" Tyra asks.
Emily sighs and says,
"I know it's probably not the best idea since I was in love with him and we slept together before-but for the last 13 years he's been there for me through everything. Every terrible relationship gone wrong, and sometimes he's cared for me as one of my best friends more than any of the guys in my family ever have." Emily says.
"So essentially what you're saying is that Will's like you're older brother and since you've known him for a very long time you want him to walk you down?" Tyra says. Emily nods and says,
"Some people say that it might be a stupid idea, but honestly it's better than going alone."
"Agreed." Tyra says as Emily closes her locker door and turns around seeing Cassandra come in.
Cassandra looks at Emily and says,
"Good morning."
"Good morning Cassandra." Emily says, smiling a bit nervously.
"Okay what's going on?" Cassandra asks.
"Nothing." Emily says.
"Yes there is, I know that face." Cassandra says and Emily sighs.
"Micah and I set a date for our wedding and we're starting to get everything prepped."
"Oh fun, when is it?" Cassandra asks.
"September 20th." Emily says.
"That's like only five months away." Cassandra says.
"Yes, which is why I'm approaching you now and asking you if you wanted to be a bridesmaid." Emily said.
Cassandra looks at her and says,
"But you hate me."
"Not hate just-we don't see eye to eye most of the time but when it comes down to it when you think of it we are kind of friends. Don't get me wrong you're still a bitch sometimes, but not as big of one as you were when we started here-not to me at least." Emily says and after a few seconds Cassandra smiles and lets out a small squealing noise before hugging Emily,
"Of course I'll be a bridesmaid, who else do you have so far?" Cassandra asks.
"Tyra's the maid of honor and my half sister's the other bridesmaid." Emily says.
"That's it?" Cassandra asks.
"Yeah, Micah's only going to have his best man so I decided that I'd have two other bridesmaids that way they can walk with each other." Emily says.
"That's kind of a good idea-who's walking you down the aisle, I heard you saying that you met your estranged father." Cassandra asks.
"I don't know yet, there's one person that's like an older brother to me and he's been more caring towards me than any of the men in my actual family have." Emily says.
"Nice, can't wait to meet him. Anyway I came in here to let you guys know that some nurse fresh out of med school is having a trial today and she was looking for Emily." Cassandra says. Emily smiles and says,
"Thanks, is she at the nurse's station?"
"Yep." Cassandra asks and Emily leaves the locker room to go find Mary.
~000000000000000000000~
Micah and AJ were working on paperwork and looking at charts at the nurse's station when Micah said,
"Emily and I set a date."
"Awesome, when?" AJ asks.
"September 20th." Micah says flipping the page of his file
"Dude, that's like 5 months away will you have time?" AJ asks.
"Yeah, we've got a reverend, a place for the service, we're looking at places for the reception, and our save the date cards are currently being made. Also Emily and I have been casually discussing colors-"
"What colors?" AJ asks.
"Shades of blue." Micah says.
"Nice, so you sound on your way." AJ says.
"Except that I need to ask you something." Micah says turning to him.
"Go for it." AJ says not looking at the chart.
Micah sighs and then says,
"AJ, we were interns together and the burning hatred that we used to have turned into a beautiful friendship-"
"Dude, you need to stop watching those chick flicks with Emily if that's how you're gonna describe our friendship." AJ says. Micah snorts and then says,
"First of all no because Emily likes them and when she's happy she's adorable-and second shut up and just let me finish."
"Fine." AJ says.
"Anyway, as I was saying and I was wondering if you'd be my best man." Micah says.
AJ freezes and the nurse at the desk looks at them. AJ turns to Micah and asks,
"Are you serious dude?"
"Completely." Micah says nodding and AJ laughs and says,
"Of course." Before clapping Micah on the back and the two men hug briefly before AJ's pager goes off.
"It's Gina, I'll text you later okay?" AJ says.
"Gotcha." Micah says before AJ smiles and walks down the hall.
Dress Shopping
Emily parks the car and looks to the passenger seat.
"Are you sure you want to come?" Emily asks. Liz sighs and says,
"Emily, relax. You asked me to come and not it seems like you don't want me here."
"No I do, I just-nevermind." Emily says and they get out.
"So are you getting your bridesmaids dresses today?" Liz asks.
"Hopefully. Tyra called ahead for me while I was in the OR yesterday with a liver transplant, and she ordered the two we narrowed it down to." Emily asks.
"It's light blue for the bridal party right?" Liz asks.
"Yeah." Emily says.
"And you're dress is white?" Liz asks.
"Yeah, I looked at a few that I liked in the catalog." Emily says taking it out of her bag. "the black's what I want to try and then the purple's are the ones that Tyra wants me to try to get out of my comfort zone."
"That's only 3 total." Liz says.
"I know, I'll see when we get in there." Emily says as they walk through the doors.
~0000000000000000000~
Emily watched as Cassandra, Mary and Tyra come out.
"I like it." Emily says.
"I think that the maid of honor should wear the first dress and the two bridesmaids should wear the second dress, because the first cut's more flattering on Tyra-and it'll separate who's who." Liz said. Emily smiled and said,
"That's a good idea."
"Who are you again?" Tyra asks.
"Tyra this is Micah's sister-Liz. She's staying with us until her divorce is finalized and she can find a new place with a roommate who doesn't mind a baby." Emily said.
"You're Micah's sister?" Cassandra asks.
"Yep." Liz said not looking up from her phone. "And you're the bitch that Emily hated in high school but she's giving you a second chance now because not many people like you at the hospital apparently."
"What?" Cassandra asks. Emily looks down and Liz shrugs,
"I overheard them talking last night, apparently a lot of people are scared of you-"
"Liz, that's not why I wanted Cassandra here. The reason I did is because we may have hated each other in the past but over the last two years that I've been here I feel like we've grown closer and we're borderline friends and I wanted to test out how far the friendship is." Emily says.
"Thank you Emily, and I know people are scared of me, I want it to be like that." Cassandra says as Tyra said,
"Guys as charming as this is, now that we're done here Emily has to get her dress done too. I mean we've got 4 months and counting until the wedding and we have so much planning to do."
"I'll go get the sales lady." Mary, who had already changed into her normal clothing, said before going out.
Liz looks after her and says,
"She's your half sister right?"
"Yeah."
"You two could be twins, look just like each other." She comments before the sales lady came to collect the dresses and prepare Emily.
~0000000000000000000000~
"I don't really like it." Emily says coming out in a strapless dress that had a tight chest area part and a huge skirt.
"Yeah strapless isn't doing you justice." Tyra said.
"That was all of the ones you chose though." Mary said.
"Where'd Liz go?" Cassandra asks just as Liz comes back in with dress bags over her arms.
"Okay Emily, I've got a few more for you to try on." Liz says.
"How did you-?" Mary begins but Liz shrugs and says,
"When you bother them enough eventually they let you back. Anyway here they are go try them on."
Emily takes them to go try them on and opens all the bags. They all were nice dresses actually-she looked at all of them, but kept coming back to one. It was a plain white one, and it was a one shoulder dress. She smiled and turned around, the back wasn't too complicated either-and it wasn't huge. Emily smiled ran her hands down the bodice-it was decorated with lace and she loved how the skirt wasn't to poofy. I think this is it Emily thinks to herself as she goes out.
When she does Liz smiles and Tyra says,
"Wow, that looks amazing."
"I think this is it." Emily says smiling and looking in the full length mirror.
"I need a picture smile!" Tyra says snapping one with her phone.
"There aren't many altercations needed to be made except for the length and probably taking it in a little bit in the back." The woman says inspecting the dress on Emily. "So we could fit those altercations in and you can make an appointment for any time, did any of the bridesmaids dresses need altercations?"
"Not really." Cassandra says and Mary nodded.
"Well then you can get changed and we'll put these with your bridesmaids dresses. Will you be purchasing them today?" The woman asks.
"Yes." Emily says.
The attendant leads them to the counter and Emily smiles. Even after you've planned the date and the venue and everything-it's all still surreal. Until you find the dress, and when you try it on everything just becomes real-
"You okay?" Mary asks seeing Emily starting to tear up.
"Yeah I'm fine-it just was all still surreal and it just hit me that I'm actually getting married, and that I'm getting married really soon." Emily says smiling.
