A nun / A pathological fear of window envelopes / Neopets.com
Averman's POV
I'm marrying a gremlin. A gremlin with a bizarre addiction to pop rocks and a pathological fear of window envelopes. A gremlin that has a tendency not to think things through before she does them. I guess that's one of the things we have in common really.
Her wedding dress just arrived and I've never seen her more excited. Right now she's in the bedroom trying it on. I'm so proud of my girl, she designed it all her own. Diligently drawing until her fingers were raw and her erasers stubs. Her face lit when she finished, Then we sent the pattern to her grandmother in Ireland to sew it all together and now it's here.
"Something isn't right." I hear Taz's voice and look up to see her standing the middle of the living room.
She's definitely correct, there is something wrong with the dress. It look exactly like the picture, the lace train, lavender beads on the bodice and one large blue tear drop shaped fake pearl right at the bottom of her cleavage. It's beautiful, it's also too small. Taz can barely put her arms down and it's not even zipped in the back, even the trail looks small.
I laugh and shake my head. "You forgot to convert the measurements into the metric system didn't you?"
My fiancé nods pitifully with a pout. "I have to have this fixed and we can't afford it."
"Don't worry about it, babe. We'll think of something. Maybe we can ask Sister Mary Martha to fix it, nuns must know how to sew."
"Yeah…"
"You know, I've been thinking, maybe she could do the service. Do you think nuns can marry people?"
She giggles. "How the heck should I know?"
I shrug, fingering her lilac locks and she sighs frustrated, tugging at her dress.
"I've got something to cheer you up sweetie. I was going to hold off on telling you but, I'm giving you the honeymoon of your dreams."
"So I'm spending my wedding night with Colin Farrell?" Taz teases with an angelic grin.
I smile and put an arm around her. "Sure, I'll be in the next room with Heather Graham . No, we're going to Ireland."
"What?!? Are you serious?!? Oh, I love you!"
"Oh good, I hate to think I'm marrying somebody that doesn't even like me."
"Yeah, that would be quite the bummer wouldn't it?"
"It would." I sigh dramatically. "Why don't you go take that off so we can get it resized."
"I'll do that, then I'm going to get in the shower. After that we're going to over to Banks' because you need to apologize to him for accusing him of breaking the DVD player." Taz kisses my nose, raises from the sofa and walks out of the room.
"Anything you say dear." I call as she disappears down the hall.
When I hear the water turn on in the bathroom, I wander over to the computer and turn it on. I sighed into my Neopets.Com account and smirk. I have this purple creature named Taryn the Terrible, it's cute. I also haven't fed it in a while. I better do that.
"Ahhh! *crash* Shit. Help!" Right after I go help my future wife up off the bottom of the tub. This is why we should get those little rubber things to keep you from slipping.
