Chapter Fourteen
As December began I decided that it was time to start looking for my wedding dress and the girls bridesmaid dresses. So in glee I asked the girls when they were free. We agreed to go shopping at the weekend. I woke up early, well Jack woke me up early, and sat downstairs in the lounge drinking a cup of tea since I couldn't drink coffee. It had snowed during the night and because it was still early it hadn't been walked on it was all pristine. It looked beautiful.
Thankfully there wasn't too much and I could still drive in it, not that the truck needed help in the snow. "I wondered where you were," said Noah's voice.
"Yes, Jack woke me up early and I couldn't get back to sleep," I said. "It's beautiful outside,"
"I don't know," he said. "I think you're even more beautiful, especially now,"
"I love you," I said, I kissed him softly, "Would you like a drink,"
"Yes," he said. "But I'll make it,"
"I can make tea Noah," I said.
"I know," he said. "But it's my job as your future husband to look after you,"
"Okay," I said. "I'll make the next one,"
We sat on the sofa with the throw over us in a comfortable silence, and then we heard the girls, "It's snowed Sarah get up," said Darcy's voice.
"Darcy," she said, "It's not even seven yet,"
"So," she said. "It's snowed,"
"Okay, okay," said Sarah. "I'm up,"
"Mommy, daddy, where are you," said Darcy.
"We're downstairs sweetie," I said.
"Can we go out in the snow," she said. "Please,"
"After we've had breakfast," I said. "It's still early,"
Breakfast was short and sweet since Darcy really wanted to go out in the snow. "Okay," I said. "Come on girls let's go and get our warm clothes," I dressed Darcy in her thick coat and mittens with her woolly hat. She looked so sweet. "Now I'm going to get ready okay," I said. "I'll be just a few minutes," I put on my long black leggings, a thigh length jumper, and then my red coat with my scarf gloves and hat. Noah had got jeans and a fleece jacket, he looked gorgeous as ever. "Ready to go," he said.
"Yes," I said.
We spent the next hour and a half building a snow man, he was pretty cool. He had black flat stones for eyes, sticks for arms, we found an old hat and scarf and obviously a carrot for his nose. I took photos of Darcy and Sarah with him, and it was then that everyone else turned up. "Hey guys," I said.
"I like the snowman," said Quinn. "He's good,"
"I'm just going to get a different coat and shoes, this one's a little wet and then we can go," I said. "Darcy, Sarah, can you go and sit in the truck," I said. "Would you help Darcy, Quinn,"
"Sure," she said.
I grabbed my things and kissed Noah goodbye and then climbed into the truck. "So where do you want to go first," said Quinn.
"Well, I was thinking the other night about colours, I've decided to go with pale blue for you guys is that okay," I said.
"That sounds nice," said Brit.
"Obviously my dress will be white, but I won't know until I see it," I said.
"Are you having a Jewish ceremony," said Quinn.
"Well," I said. "Although we are Jewish, we really don't practice it, so we're having a minister from the register office do the ceremony for us,"
We arrived at the first dress store and I managed to find the bridesmaid dresses, they were a pale blue simple but stylish. They were knee length and the girls thought that they could be worn to other events not just the wedding(link on profile). There was also a little blue dress with a sash around the middle, that I got Darcy to try on and she looked so pretty (link on profile).
So the girls were all sorted it was just me, I should probably have looked on a few websites before had to get some ideas, we were at the third shop and as I was searching through the racks I saw it. I took it into the dressing room and the assistant helped me with the zip. It fit over my bump perfectly, although I would make sure that would still be the case in a few weeks, of course. I smiled, this was the dress (Link to dress on profile, imagine that it can go over a baby bump). "Girls," I said. "What do you think," I walked out.
"You look stunning," said Brit. "It's perfect,"
"Kids these days," muttered an older lady to who I presume was her daughter. "How does she have this sort of money at her age,"
"Excuse me," I said. "Do you have a problem," she looked shocked that I had heard her and struggled to come up with a response. "To be honest it's not your concern whether I have the money, I wouldn't be shopping here if I didn't,"
"Does your daddy know your spending his cash on a wedding dress," she said.
"My parents are dead," I said. "They left behind some money to pay for my wedding, I wasn't aware that was a crime,"
"I'm sorry dear," said who I assume was the daughter. "My mother is a little nosy and should learn to keep out of other people's business, it's a beautiful dress, I hope you are very happy,"
"Thank You," I said. "Well come on girls, all we need now are those wraps to go round our shoulders,"
"We sell those dear," said the assistant. "I assume you're getting married soon,"
"Yes, in a few weeks actually," I said. "December 22nd,"
"Are you getting married here in Lima," she said.
"No in New York," I said.
"Oh how wonderful," she said. "Here we are,"
The wraps were bought they were white faux fur, it made our dresses feel a little more festive. "So," I said, as we were driving home. "I think we deserve a nice hot chocolate when we get in, Sarah can you call home and ask Noah to start some," she did and we laughed as we heard him groan, apparently he was winning.
"Noah, stop moaning," I said. "You know you'll do it anyway, like you said it's your job,"
"I knew I shouldn't have said that," he said, but I could tell he was joking, "I'll see you in a bit,"
"Bye, I love you," I said.
"Love you too," he said and with that he hung up, and we continued the journey, Christmas songs were playing, and Fairytale Of New York by the Pogues (love that song, if you don't know it check it out via You Tube) came on, I smiled knowing in a few weeks time I would be having my very own fairytale in New York.
