I'm glad you all liked the last chapter. I was really nervous about it. I was afraid you'd all be like 'OMJ! Mitchie would so not do that. Like wtf?' But I shall explain to you why I did it: a. because I thought it'd be fun; b. to show Shane's not just getting married to have sex; c. so randomly planning the wedding for the end of summer wasn't… random?, and lastly because I wanted Mitchie to show how caught up she can be and how serious she is about marrying Shane and not letting anyone change her mind. So, now that we've got that settled… And my graduation wasn't as horrible as I make it sound. It's actually pretty funny to us. So, some of you were wondering what I'm gonna do between Cait & Sierra. I've had that problem and all possible solutions planned from the beginning, including the one I'm using. And someone made a suggestion about how to fix it. I had that idea, but for a different reason. They will know who they are and what I'm talking about when the time comes.

Chapter 14:

I was nervous the entire week after graduation. We graduated on Wednesday night, and mine & Caitlyn's graduation party was Saturday afternoon in my backyard. Shane kept telling me everything was going to be fine. I didn't believe him.

We'd been partying for a while already when Sierra ran up to me. She had just gotten off the phone with her mother. "Mitchie!" She yelled jumping up and down. "Guess what?"

"What?" I asked jumping with her.

"I'm going to China!" She yelled.

"Oh my god! Congrats! You got the internship?" Sierra had applied for an internship with an international business company, working overseas. "When do you leave?"

"Three days." She said still really excited. "But I won't be back until the very end of August. Like 3 days before I have to leave for school."

"You're gonna miss my wedding." I said softly, looking down.

"What?!" She yelled.

"Hold on. Shane and I wanted to tell everyone together." I said, leaving abruptly to find Shane. "Time to tell them." I said nervously, interrupting his conversation with some of my male cousins.

"Oh. You sure?" He asked. I nodded.

"I kinda told Sierra."

"Really? Why?" He asked as we headed over to the where we could get everyone's attention.

"Um, she said she was going to be in China and I said 'you're going to miss my wedding?'" I said back.

"Oh." He said, uncertain. He looked at me once more to make sure I was ready. I nodded. "Hey! Can I have everyone's attention?" Shane called out to everyone. Everyone stopped and our friends and immediate families moved closer to hear whatever we had to say.

"Some of you may already know, but Shane proposed to me on my birthday. And I accepted." Everyone cheered and clapped, well those who didn't know did. "But, that's not what we want to tell you."

"Mitchie has decided she doesn't want to wait very long. So we decided we're getting married in August."

A small silence followed before people began clapping and congratulating us. Sierra came up to me. "I'm so sorry, Mitchie."

"Me, too. But you've been wanting this internship since freshman year. You deserve it. And I can't wait much longer to marry him." I admitted.

"Congratulations." She said hugging me.

Caitlyn and Anastasia stood in front of me with hands on their hips. "Hey, guys." I said, trying to not laugh at the looks on their faces.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Anastasia demanded.

"That's twice I've been the last to know about your random weddings." Caitlyn pouted.

"Cait, you weren't last. Everyone found out at the same time. And because… I wanted to tell everyone together. However, does being my bridesmaids make up for it?"

"Fine. We forgive you." They said playfully rolling their eyes.

"I can't believe you're getting married in August! I so told you, you couldn't hold out much longer." Nicky teased making her way over to us.

"Ha, yes, you're right. I can't want to sleep with my fiancé, hence the very short engagement. It has nothing to do with being in love." I rolled my eyes at her. "I don't know if I want you in my bridal party anymore." I said offhandedly.

"Oh my god! Seriously?" She cried.

I looked at her oddly. "Duh…" She squealed excitedly.

Many congratulations later, Shane wrapped his arms around me from behind, kissing my neck. "Hello, fiancée." He said into my ear softly.

"Hello to you to, fiancé." I giggled back. "Can you believe we're getting married?" I asked leaning against him.

He shook his head. "Not really. I'm waiting to wake up from my dream."

I sighed contently. "Welcome to my world."

"I talked to Bradley. He convinced the venues to push back the shows because of the wedding." I squealed and turned in his arms.

"Yay!" I said throwing my arms around his next. "How?"

"I told him that you had your heart set on a summer wedding, and that the guys and I would gladly cancel the first few shows to give that to you." I smiled up at him.

"You are amazing. I love you." I hugged him as tight as possible. "So… does this mean our plans for the summer still stand?" I asked softly, not looking at him.

He tilted my chin toward him. "If you want. Unless you want to wait until we get married. Ya know, enjoy your last few weeks with your parents."

"I was actually thinking about that. What's gonna happen to your apartment? I mean, who looks after it while you're on tour?" I asked.

"Well, usually Lava would send someone over once every two weeks to make sure everything was good and clean up and everything. But… I don't know what's gonna happen when we get back. I mean, I doubt you or the guys are gonna want to share an apartment when we get back."

"I don't think so." I shook my head teasingly. "Though I'll still be in school when you get back. That reminds me… again. What are we doing for our honeymoon?" He shrugged. "Great answer." I laughed at him. "Anyway, back to the original subject. I don't see the point in 'moving in with you' when I'm just going to be moving into my dorm a few weeks later. I mean, clothes are one thing, but I guess we should wait until we have our own apartment or house or whatever before we really move in together." I explained.

"Makes sense. But let's not worry about all of the logistics of it right now. Let us think of instead… how happy we are at this exact moment." He twirled me around.

"Immensely." I giggled as he brought me back into his arms.

So, once again, I was a little too naïve for my own good. Planning my wedding in roughly 8 weeks was not as easy as I had hoped. Between the now excessively annoying paparazzi and my Cosmo shadow -I was letting CosmoGIRL do a full expose on planning my wedding- I was getting aggravated. The bright side to the shadow was she had excellent suggestions.

Shane and I had been 'living together' for about two weeks already, with Jacob, at the apartment. It was odd. Jason seemed to practically live at Anastasia apartment with her, well her brother's apartment though he was on another tour. Nate on the other hand was at my house most of the time. I found it odd that I moved out, so to speak, yet Caitlyn and Nate seemed to be living there.

I woke up to find Shane not in bed. I pouted. I liked waking up with him in bed. "Shane!" I called out, sitting up. "Baby, where'd you go?" Jacob came wandering and jumped on the bed, but no sign of Shane.

I heard the front door close and a moment later Shane was entering our bedroom. "Hey." He greeted, handing me one of those fruit smoothie ice things from Dunkin Donuts. I wasn't a big Starbucks person. He however, was sipping his Starbuck's latte, most likely.

"When did you get up?" I asked looking at the clock next to the bed.

"Bout an hour or so ago." He answered, sitting on the bed next to me. "So, what is on the agenda today, oh wedding planner?" He asked.

I slumped against the pillows. "I have to go get my dress resized again, fight with Caitlyn, and Stas on colors again, try to find a theme that matches again, and you and I really need to talk about our song."

"What song?" He asked, clueless.

I giggled at him. "Our wedding song." I answered. "I almost want to use Gotta Find You." I said. "The original version."

He smiled. "Whatever you want. Just no Hanson, please?" He requested.

I smiled. "You realize you'd have to record the song for me, right?"

He shrugged. "I'll call Milo later." He said simply.

I leaned up to kiss him. "You're amazing." I smiled pulling back.

"I know." He said playfully.

"Jerk." I pushed him lightly.

He caught my wrist and pulled me toward him again. "Your jerk." He kissed me lightly. "Now why do you keep fighting with the girls? And before you randomly remember and ask, yes the tuxes were ordered and fitted."

"Because Caitlyn looks best in green-" Shane opened his mouth but I kept speaking, "Nicky looks best in neutral colors, like blacks and tans and grays -ha irony. Anastasia looks best in reds and pinks which highlight the red in her hair." I said in a sarcastic hyper voice.

"Ouch." He said. "Well, I have a suggestion, if you want it."

"No, Shane I'm not picking green just because it's your favorite color."

He smirked at me. "Even if I can convince you?"

I gave him a disbelieving look. "Enlighten me, pop star."

He glared slightly but smiled a moment later. "A light shimmer-y green. It gives Caitlyn green. It's neutral enough for Nick, and Anastasia's eyes will look more green which we all know she loves, though she won't admit it."

"I've been fighting with them for a week and half over that." I sighed. He made it so easy.

"Mitchie, it's our wedding. Don't let them push you into what they want. I know you said you didn't care much about what they wore and you want them to be happy, but not at the expense of your nerves, please?"

"You're right. So, that takes care of color. Now, theme? Flowers?"

"You know, green fits, considering we're getting married in August." He commented. "You could always go with sunflowers."

My eyes lit up. "Which only bloom in August!"

He smiled at me. "Do we really need a theme?" He asked.

"We've got it." I answered him.

He looked at me oddly. "We do?"

"Summer. It's August, so summer. Summer equals sun. Sun equals sunflowers. It's not perfect, but we can work with it." I said, once again becoming excited about my wedding.

He laughed. "Just tell me when you need the song and where I have to stand to say I do." He said softly. "Oh, we need to get rings, baby." He commented.

I groaned. "Tomorrow we'll go look." I said. "Ugh, I have to be at the bridal shop in two hours."

"Go get in the shower. I'm driving you, I'm assuming?" He asked as I headed out of our room.

"Uh huh." I called back.

Well, that turned out to be an amusing experience. I met up with the girls at the store. They were surprised to see Shane there.

"I'm not staying." He assured them. He kissed me good-bye and got back in the car.

"Before any of you say anything, I picked a color. Light green. No arguing. Shane picked it, actually. I like it." I said tiredly.

"That works." Caitlyn and Anastasia agreed. I saw Jayden, my shadow, laughing into her notebook, trying not to. I smiled at her before heading inside.

I ended up buying the dress I had seen a few weeks prior. It was again strapless, though this time it was a sweetheart cut instead of straight. The bodice was long and fitted while the bottom flared out and had a long train behind it. I left the girls to look for dresses once again, instructing Jayden to keep them in line for me. She smiled at me and laughed again.

As I was getting pinned again, -apparently the woman who did it the first time accidentally dropped it and dislodged a lot of the pins- the girls came running in.

"Mitchie! We found it! Well, Jay did… but we found it!" Caitlyn held up a pale green dress that looked shiny and shimmer-y. It had the sweetheart cut neck line, but two straps coming from the edges of the breasts that tied behind the neck. There was a top piece of fabric with curved down over the bottom and cut away to the side.

"Wow." I said looking at it in the mirror I was standing in front of with my back to them. "It matches well. I like the color.

"We compromised." Anastasia admitted. "It'll give me some hips."

"And the color will look good with Nicky, too." Caitlyn added. "We're sorry if we've been pains. This is our first wedding, too."

"1 word. Payback." I smiled sweetly.

"Oh, think of the absolute fun it would be if by the time either of you gets married, Mitchie was pregnant." Jayden said.

"I like you." I decided smiling at Jayden. "I can totally see that happening. Well, with the 20 kids Shane seems to think we're going to have."

"Ooooh." The girls all grimaced, thinking of that many births.

"Well, go try them on." I instructed Caitlyn and Anastasia.

Jayden took a picture of the dresses on the two of them with her actual camera, and my cell phone to send to Nicky.

She was coming in next week to stay until the wedding. We were going to put her in my room at the house, but since Nate was there so much, we opted to simply put her in Jason's room. He didn't mind.

I came home much happier than I had left that night. I walked into the living room with Caitlyn and Anastasia to find the boys sitting around. "Remind me to give Cosmo a very, very big thank you for Jayden." I said throwing myself into Shane's lap.

He laughed. "Why?" He asked brushing my hair out of his way.

"Because she rocks." I said. The others laughed. "No, seriously, she found the perfect dresses for the girls, in the perfect color. Like practically exactly what I was picturing. And they all loved it. And ooh, ooh. Guess what the color was?"

Shane gave me a sarcastic look. "Um, green?"

"The official name of the color is Peridot. How much more meant to be could that be?"

Shane smiled at me. "Told you it'd work out."

"I know." I kissed him. "So, now I want to get table clothes in a color similar to the color of their dresses and I want sunflowers everywhere. Except for the bouquets. I want the girls to have yellow roses and I'll have white roses."

"I love this. You seem to just get one idea and run with it." Shane said laughing happily. "All it took was one color and everything is falling into place for you, huh?"

I kind of ignored him, though, since I was in my own world thinking. I quickly got off of his lap, running to get a notebook. I called out to him as I started writing things down. "And we should do the reception outside instead of inside. Since it's summer. Oh! And-"

"Mitchie, breath. Relax." Shane said, placing his hands on my shoulders, causing me to stop walking. "I'm glad you're excited and getting into planning, but relax, please?" I blushed, releasing I was going overboard with excitement.

I don't know what it was about getting married, or maybe it was Shane, but I was slowly becoming, not me. Not in a bad way- okay, not completely in a bad way. Random impulse to get married? Yeah, that was bad. But this excited energy to plan my wedding was a good thing. I'd never been good at planning things. I took after my dad in that aspect. Mom was good with this sort of thing, though. You should see the things she does at Camp Rock.

"I say, no more wedding talk for the night." Nate said, taking the notebook out of my hands and placing it on the table.

"Nate." I pouted.

"Seriously, Mitchie. Let's just watch a movie and relax." Jason suggested.

I pouted but did as I was told. They were right. I did need to relax. If I started planning everything like crazy I was going to wear myself out. But everything was falling into place for me and I could not wait for my wedding.

Okay, for those of you currently confused: Peridot is the birthstone of August. Ha, I some how ended up giving the wedding an August theme. Want to know something awesome I just recently found out? My birthday is 6 days before Joe's. How awesome is that? And since he's a Leo, he is totally entitled to be a diva. Lol. Oh, and before I forget, some of you had trouble picturing the dresses from Prom, so this time I found real dresses close to what I wanted. Links are in my profile.
