First off I just want to say I am so sorry for not posting this chapter sooner :s
I've known what this chapter was going to be about for months but I just kept putting off writing it. I got distracted with writing a South Park fanfiction since I've recently become obsessed with the show. (If anyone likes KennyxButtters or thinks Kenny would make an awesome girl then check it out xD) Anyway, then there's school and work, basically it all added up O.o
Hopefully you're all not completely pissed off with me :3
Before they knew it the day for the wedding was upon them. The girls had to begin getting ready early, so they had all decided to meet at Penny's. Bernadette had stayed the night there already since it was bad luck to see the bride the day before wedding. Amy had practically moved in with Sheldon ever since they'd gotten engaged. She slept at his apartment so often that it was beginning to feel like home. So it was no time at all that all three girls were getting ready.
First, a facial for Bernadette to make her skin radiant and silky. Then pedicures and manicures for each of the girls. Once Amy and Penny's make-up and hair was done they dressed in their brides maid's dresses, and began the slow process of hair and make-up for the bride, making sure every curl and powdered blush was correctly in its place. By the time they were finished Bernadette seemed to glow.
"You look so beautiful" Penny squealed looking extremely pleased with her work.
"And your hair looks pretty good too, if I do say so myself" Amy beamed proudly. She once again felt grateful that she'd been trained numerous times by Penny how to perform the hairstyle in the upcoming weeks of the wedding.
"Come on put on your dress!" Penny insisted excitedly even though she'd already seen the dress countless times. Bernadette agreed scurrying into Penny's bedroom as the others sat on the couch waiting. Penny looked Amy over, the girl cleaned up nicely. She had her hair up in an elegant bun and the pink colour of the brides maid dress suited her. Penny once again thanked god that Bernadette had given them freedom to design their dresses, along as they were all the same colour. Amy's dress was knee length with not very low cleavage, although it did nothing to hide the huge pregnancy breasts she'd acquired over the past months. Speaking of pregnancy, Penny looked down to large bump on Amy's stomach. Thank god, Amy had adjusted the fit for the bump when she's ordered the sizes. Amy's estimation of the bumps growth was spot on, although Penny was not surprized.
Penny then took the time to look herself over in the mirror for the hundredth time that day, making sure everything was in its place. Her dress was a lot less modest than Amy's although she'd toned it down slightly so she didn't upstage Bernadette. Afterall this was her day, she should be the most beautiful woman there. Suddenly Bernadette emerged from the room and Penny gasped emotionally. She truly was beautiful. The dress was perfect for Bernadette. It fit the small girl in all the right places and drowned her in fabric without making her look tiny. It was absolutely stunning.
"You look wonderful Bernadette" Amy said while Penny nodded speechless.
"You really think so?" Bernadette said a huge grin on her face.
"Sweetie, Howard is a lucky guy. I still don't know how a guy like him ended up with someone as amazing you" Penny assured her.
Amy glanced at her watch. The ceremony starts in two hours, we better head over there and make sure everything's organized. The others agreed and they headed on their way.
"What am I gonna do dude?" Raj complained to Leonard as he straightened his tie, "I couldn't find a date"
Leonard was next to him also in his tux, straightening his tie, "Well you're gonna have to be the one to tell Bernadette. Howard wouldn't dare, not today of all days"
Raj had a painful expression as he complained, "But, she scares me"
"Raj, we've all seen her these past few weeks. She scares everyone" Leonard chuckled.
"Especially me" Howard added as he stepped out of the dressing room. They turned their attention to the groom.
"Looking good" Leonard nodded approvingly. Raj agreed.
Sheldon spoke from his seat in the corner, "Besides the fact that you rented that suit and are probably wearing countless other's germs right now…you look quite proper"
That's as good as a complement ever gets with Sheldon, so Howard grinned appreciatively.
"Shall we?" Sheldon asked standing. The others agreed and they too were on their way.
"What do you mean the Harp player isn't coming!?" Bernadette shouted in disbelief. The girls resided in the dressing room, determined to keep Bernadette hidden til the ceremony. One of the staff had just delivered the bad news.
"I'm sorry ma'am, her flight was delayed and she can't get here til tomorrow. She had to cancel" he explained nervously. Bernadette looked like she was about to faint.
"But now we have no music! How am I supposed to walk down the aisle with no music?" she insisted. The man just looked at her helplessly, not sure how to reply. Amy decided to save the poor man from his ordeal.
"I play the harp, I could replace her" Amy suggested.
"Amy, you're just over 7 months pregnant. You can barely reach most of the strings with that bump of yours" Bernadette complained. Amy had to admit that was true. There had to be some other option. Then it hit her and she grinned.
"I know another harp player" Amy explained, "Sam was the one who taught me in college. I'm sure she'd be happy to do it"
"But we don't have enough room at the reception for her. I'd feel just awful forcing her to play for me then not inviting her to the reception" Bernadette said warily.
Suddenly the door opened and Raj appeared covering a hand over his eyes, the other holding a note.
"Raj, you can look. It's only Howard who can't see" Penny explained exasperatedly. Raj did so and then anxiously handed Bernadette the note.
Dear Bernadette,
Howard wouldn't let me drink til after the reception. He insisted I'd ruin the ceremony if I was drunk. So I wrote you this not to let you know I didn't find a date.
P.s. Please don't hurt me!
Bernadette looked up from the note happily at the nervous Indian man in front of her and then gripped him in a hug. He flinched expecting an attack and then looked at her confused.
"Raj you're a genius!" she cried joyfully, "Now Sam can come to the wedding as your date!"
Raj opened his mouth as if to complain but as usual no sound came out.
"What's that Raj? If you have any complaints feel free to mention them" Penny replied with a chuckle. Raj glared at her but she wasn't fazed.
"Then it's settled. I'll call Sam" Amy said also hiding a chuckle at the Indian man's expense.
The staff man gratefully left, now that Bernadette had once again calmed.
OK that's it guys, the wedding and reception will be next chapter. I you enjoyed it. Don't forget to review! :D
