Chapter 44
The next six weeks flew by and Mercedes was very excited and anxious for everything for the wedding. However, she and Colby had lots of help from family and friends, wanting to make sure the wedding went smoothly.
The wedding was taking place in Boston and Mercedes was most excited for that. She missed Boston, of course, because of her family and friends there. But she still loved living in Davenport with Colby. Mercedes knew Colby lived in Davenport to be with his family. But he also had Black and Brave in Moline, Illinois, but that was not too far from Davenport. Black and Brave was also one of the reasons Mercedes was content in Davenport. If they ever wanted to move, the two could discuss it. That wasn't the case at that point.
The wedding was taking place on Saturday, October 6, 2018. Mercedes and Colby were working that Monday, October 1 for Raw. Then the next day, Tuesday, they were headed back to Davenport. They needed to pack up their stuff to be in Boston for the wedding. But also for when they headed off on their honeymoon. Raw was in Des Moines, Iowa for that Raw, so it was no trouble for the two to get home easily pack up their stuff and then out to Boston on Wednesday.
"I can't believe the wedding is this Saturday," Becky commented on Monday.
"I know," Mercedes replied with a huge grin. "I have been looking forward to it for so long."
"It'll be beautiful," Leah said. "Seeing everything you have chosen for the wedding, it is going to be beautiful."
"Thank you."
"And you will look so beautiful in your wedding dress with your hair and makeup done for it too!"
"Thank you!" Mercedes said again with a grin still on her lips.
Three days later, Mercedes stood in her mom's living room wearing her wedding dress. It was Thursday evening and Mercedes wanted to make sure everything was okay with her dress still. All of her bride's maids were there as well as Colby's mom.
"Oh, you look so beautiful, Mercedes," Holly commented.
"Thank you," Mercedes said.
"You are going to take Colby's breath away."
"I hope so. But I don't want him to pass out on us, because he couldn't breathe from seeing me look so beautiful."
Everyone laughed.
"How are you wearing your hair?" Holly asked.
"I'm doing a bun with a head piece and veil," Mercedes replied. "Where are the veil and headpiece?"
"I have them, sweetheart," Judith said. She left the living room and headed into her bedroom where she had been keeping the wedding dress safe with that of the headpiece and veil. She came back a few minutes later holding both.
"Right here," Judith said, holding both the headpiece and veil in hand.
"All right," Mercedes said. She quickly put her hair up in a messy bun. Judith then helped her with the headpiece and veil.
"There we go," Judith said.
"All right, how about that?" Mercedes asked.
"Even better," Holly replied.
"Thank you."
"But once your hair is done the way you really want it, it'll look absolutely beautiful."
"Thank you," Mercedes said.
Holly smiled. She moved toward Mercedes to hug her. Mercedes smiled brightly hugging her future mother-in-law very tightly.
