Marissa woke the next morning in her own house and immediately saw that she was alone. She missed Ryan so much already even though they saw each other last night. Then Marissa heard her mother calling her.
"Marissa! Get up honey, the dress fittings are in 1 hour." Julie called up to her daughter.
Marissa groaned and hesitantly got out of bed. She put on a light blue sundress and put her hair into a ponytail. "I'm coming Mom!" She called out as she applied her makeup.
Twenty minutes later Marissa, Julie, Summer, Kaitlin and the other three bridesmaids, Marissa's cousins Kahlen, Jessica, and Ashley were on their way to the fittings.
"Ok ladies." Marissa called out once they were all in the back room of the dress shop, "She just needs to take the first measurements and then we're done."
The seamstress came up with a bolt of the purple silk, paper, and a whole bunch of pins. "Maid of Honor first."
Summer came up and stood on the platform. The dressmaker took up her measuring tape and measured Summer. She did this with all the bridesmaids and 2 hours later they were leaving the dress shop.
"So we have the next fitting in 2 weeks." Summer said as she and Marissa got in her car.
"This is so stressful." Marissa said, holding her head in her hands.
Summer looked over, "I know Marissa, but I'm here to help."
Marissa looked up and smiled at her best friend. "Thanks Sum."
"Hey, what are friends for?"

"Who else should we invite?" Marissa asked Ryan. They were in the pool house making a guest list.
"People from school?" Ryan suggested.
"Good idea. Alex, Luke, Lindsay, Theresa, Zach." Marissa said the names as she wrote them. "Your mother and brother?" Marissa asked.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Ryan asked. He was a little unsure of having his family there.
"Ryan, I want you're family there too." She said. She wrote down Dawn and Trey Atwood down as well. "And your Dad?"
"I think he's still in jail." Ryan told her.
"Oh." Marissa said softly. "Then that's all I can think of."
"Well if we think of anymore we can write them down." Ryan said.
"So how many is that so far?" Marissa asked. Ryan picked up the list and started counting.
"238." He told her. More than half the people on the list were Marissa's relatives and friends.
"I think that's a good amount." Marissa told Ryan. She took the guest list from him and stored it in her folder. Then she turned to Ryan.
"Ryan, where are we gonna live after we're married?" Marissa asked. She had been wondering for a while where they would live. She didn't think they would live in the pool house forever.
"I don't know. We could buy a house here." He suggested. "Why don't we talk to Kirsten and Sandy?"

Ryan and Marissa went into the house to find Kirsten and Sandy watching TV.
"Can we talk to you?" Ryan asked as he sat down in a chair. Marissa sat down on him and he put his arms around her.
"Sure." Sandy said, turning off the TV.
"We were just talking, and we realized that we don't have a place of our own." Marissa told them.
Kirsten quickly took a sip of her tea. She didn't want them to find out about the house they were furnishing for them.
Sandy noticed his wife's movements so he stepped in. "You guys don't worry about that. On your honeymoon, Kirsten and I can look at some places. We'll take care of it." He said calmly.
Ryan and Marissa looked at them suspiciously. "Ok." Marissa said doubtfully. "Thanks."
"No problem." Sandy said, turning on the TV. "That was close." He said to his wife, once Ryan and Marissa were back outside.

The next day Ryan and Marissa were at the Cooper's house looking through travel magazines. Julie and Jimmy were having dinner with the Cohen's, so they were all alone, except for Kaitlin.
"Hawaii?" Marissa asked. They were choosing a place for their honeymoon.
"We live on the beach Marissa!" Ryan told her, taking the magazine out of her hands. "Let's get away from the beach."
"Fine." Marissa said, taking another magazine. "France?"
"Sure." Ryan said. Marissa leaned over and kissed him.
"We're going to France."
Just then Marissa's sister Kaitlin came into the kitchen.
"Get a room guys!" She called out when she saw Ryan and Marissa kissing.
They stopped kissing and Marissa rolled her eyes. "We had one until you showed up!"
"Whatever." Kaitlin said as she opened a can of pop.

"That doesn't go there!" Summer shrieked. She and Seth were arranging the furniture in Ryan and Marissa's house.
"Where does it go then?" Seth asked. He had started to blue rug in front of the leather couch.
"In the bedroom!" Summer told him. "The brown and black one goes here."
Seth rolled the rug back up and brought it upstairs, Summer right behind him. He laid the rug in front of the huge bed.
"Better." Summer told him.
They had arranged all the furniture, beds and rugs by the end of the day. All that was that of the house was adding a little detail here and there.
"We did a pretty good job Cohen." Summer told Seth.
"Do you think they'll like it?" Seth asked.
Summer looked at her boyfriend and frowned. "They'll love it. But we have to be careful. Sandy said that Ryan and Marissa are getting suspicious.
