So here I am, in front of a large mirror, with Sebastiano, Tina and Lilly beside me. I have been wearing Sebastiano creations for pretty much all the functions, since my first formal introduction to the people of Genovia.
So, I was in this very pretty white wedding gown, Strapless, taffeta gown with pleating, beaded Lace mid bodice detailed waist with asymmetrical skirt and bubble pick-ups through front and back.
I so loved it.
Oh, how I wanted Michael to see me right now in this outfit.
Now it is Lilly's turn to try on her dress for she's going to be my maid of honor.
Considering her opposition to wearing formal dress on weddings, I thought she was going to refuse to wear a gown. But; she surprised me, when she chose a one shoulder, red knee length dress, with a big red rose on the shoulder. She turned to look at me and asked.
"How is it Mia?"
"Lilly, you look awesome."
And Lilly did something she never did; she blushed.
"Thanks."
"Tina, as you are going to be my bride's maid, why don't you select a dress?" I said to Tina.
Sebastiano took one look at Tina and said.
"You got the curs. I find good dress for you."
Tina looked at me in confusion. I laughed as I said.
"What Sebastiano said was that you good curves."
Tina beamed at him.
Sebastiano's language is pretty much better than he first came here. But it was never perfect.
Finally, he came up with a cute looking grey dress. Tina tried it on. She looked really good. She turned to me and raised her eyebrows. I smiled at her and gave her thumbs up.
Well, I guess the day of shopping is really getting to me. I am dead tired. Tina and Lilly are going to my future in-law's house and are going to spend the night there. But I just needed to get home.

So I was in the Plaza watching Grandmere and Vigo. Vigo was like a clockwork toy.
He ran around with his phone to his ears, shouting orders into it.
Then suddenly, Vigo said to Grandmere.
"Your Highness, don't you think it is time to send out the invitations?"
Grandmere said.
"Yes, as soon as Amelia sees it."
Then she held out a card with white and blue colors and said to me.
"Please see the invitation card for your wedding, Amelia."
I took it in my hands and opened it.
You Are Invited To Bless The Wedding Ceremony Of
Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo,
Princess of Genovia,
Daughter of Prince Artur Christoff Phillipe Gerard Grimaldi Renaldo
And
Helen Thermopolis Gianini,
Grand-daughter of Queen Clarisse Anne Grimaldi Renaldo
And
Late King Rupert Gerard Andrew Renaldo
AND
Michael Dominic Moscovitz,
Son of Ruth and Morty Moscovitz.
On 1st November, 5.00 p.m,
At Cathedral,
New York
I have to admit, I was impressed. I mean it was so beautiful.
"Grandmere."I said. "It is beautiful."
"Well then."Grandmere said, turning back to Vigo. "Send out the invitations immediately to Miss. Martha Stewart, Mr. John Tesh, and Joshua Bell and…"
"Wait a minute." I said, turning my head to face her, as realization dawned on me. "You are not going to invite Martha Stewart and John Tesh and Joshua Bell to my wedding, are you?"
"Most certainly, I am. Of course, the Princess of Genovia should get married in luxury."
"Grandmere,"I said, folding my hand across my chest.
"You cannot invite John Tesh and Joshua Bell to my wedding. I don't even…"
"Vigo."Grandmere interrupting me. "Have you made arrangements for the flowers?"
I knew I was dismissed. But I can't have Martha Stewart, John Tesh, Joshua Bell and god knows who else. Grandmere is going out of control.
So, how did you like it? Please review. I could really do with some.
