Chapter 33: Wedding Preparations
It had been two weeks since I recorded my last song and I was in full wedding mode. Tommy didn't like it; he wined to me and told me not to involve him which made me involve him more. I loved torturing him but, I knew that he would get me back sometime in the near future but, I didn't know when.
"Jude, come on. You've been looking at fabric swatches for four hours."
"Oh come on. This is your wedding to" I teased at him.
"There are to many colors here to chose from."
"So, you have a choice of either, baby blue and grey or, hot pink and grey."
"Why not do all three colors?"
"Fine with me. Now to the invitations and date."
"Alright,"
"We just need a date so I'm thinking October the fifth?" I asked him.
"That's two months away."
"I know that we can pull it off. Plus everything is done. I just need to get the dresses and pick a cake."
"The date is fine with me." He said that only because he knew the only thing that he had to do is taste the cake.
"Great."
"Jude who are the bridesmaids?"
"Um, Sadie is the maid of honor, then Kat, and Karma."
"Best man is Kwest, and then Mason, and Spiederman."
"Fine with me, it's definitely fine with me. I can't believe that I had to use Karma."
"This is getting very interesting, very fast." He said walking into the kitchen.
A month later:
"Tommy, you need to get the cake picked out, stop putting it off." I said as the caterer brought in tons of wedding cake samples.
"Jude, we are going to end up fat from tasting all of these."
"I know that and well will probably get a sugar rush too but, we have to choose one."
"Fine." He said.
Looking at all the cakes on the table there had to have been at least fifty or sixty kinds. I was stunned that there were this many different wedding cakes. I knew Tommy had been married before but, I also knew that he didn't have to go through this which made it even more fun.
"Alright, I will leave the cakes for you guys so call me when you choose and we will get the cake ordered and ready for the wedding next month." She said and walked out of the apartment shutting the door.
"There are too many to choose from?" I said.
"Jude, we have to make a choice."
"I know we need to start tasting." I said and I picked up my fork. All of them were good and some of them just plain out sucked. I was definitely not in the mood for some weird flavor for a cake.
"What do you think of this?" I asked Tommy.
"Nope, what about this?" pointing at the one directly in front of him.
"That one tasted weird."
"This is going to be impossible." He said, and I moved to the one in the middle of the table and it was perfect, I tasted it and I was right.
"Got one." I said and I pointed at the cake.
"Decided on then?" He asked me.
"Yeah, that's it." I said, and we left the rest of the cakes on the table and went to bed. I was getting nervous by the day. It was weird because every time I went to fittings for my dress, I got scared, anxious, and nervous. I figured that it was and early case of cold feet and I didn't worry about it.
Night before the Wedding:
I was more nervous than the night of the Instant Star finale. I don't know why, I mean it's just Tommy. It's nothing new. I guess it's because I had to recite my vows and wear a dress and everything in front of everyone that I knew. I was at the apartment thinking about everything. Tommy wasn't there, he was staying with Kwest for tonight and Sadie was staying here.
"Jude, are you all right?" Sadie asked me.
"I'm fine why do you ask?"
"You just seem nervous."
"I am, but it's nothing."
"I hope so. Are you mad that me and Kwest got married when we went to Mexico?"
"No, you both deserve to be happy and I would love to elope but, it's to late now."
"I just want tomorrow to go smoothly without any kinks at all."
"Jude, it's your nature to have something screw up."
"Don't jinx it. I want everything to be perfect."
"I know you do but, it might not happen, oh yeah did you see the news lately?"
"Nope why?'
"Shay and Eden got married."
"They what?"
"Yep, one drunken night in Vegas."
"YES!" I yelled.
"Why yes?"
"Because that means that he can't screw up my wedding. I know that he doesn't believe in divorce and neither does Eden so they will stay married." I was ecstatic.
"Wow, this is unreal." Sadie said and she walked back into the guest room to sleep, which was something that I needed to do.
Five Minutes until the Wedding:
I was standing in this room in my white dress and I was admiring myself in the mirror. I was lucky as hell to be standing in this gown. It was white silk, sleeveless, that had a semi plunged neck line, and it had a silk criss-cross on my back. The gown was floor length and it had a ling train. I had a white orchid in my hair, under the long veil. I looked gorgeous and I was marrying the man of my dreams.
Sadie, Kat and Karma walked in the room. Sadie had on this crimson dress that was floor length, and strapless and it had black antique lace on the waist. Then Kat and Karma had on the same thing except their dresses came to their knees and they all had white orchid and red rose bouquets that matched mine.
I had five minutes until I walked down that aisle, I invited my parents but, I didn't ask my dad to give me away, and I didn't ask them to say answer the question of who give me away either. I was glad that they were there but, in my true family fashion they always did something to hurt the wedding.
"Jude, you look fabulous." All of them said in unison.
"Same back to you all."
"Are you nervous?" Kat asked me.
"Yeah, a little bit." I admitted.
"Jude, you look great." Sadie said, I think I was the only one who noticed but, Sadie had a little pudge on her stomach. I think she's pregnant but, I decided to wait to ask her what was going on.
"Guys, can you give me and Jude a second alone?" Sadie asked.
"Sadie I need to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Are you pregnant?" I asked hoping she wouldn't slap me.
"How did you know?"
"Because I noticed the pudge in your dress."
"I have a very nosy sister don't I?"
"Hey don't kill me bride." I said and Kat and Karma opened the door and I walked out.
