Another chapter. Enjoy…
27th October, 5 p.m, The Loft.
God, I am so tired. We never went to sleep till 4. of the girls stayed at the Plaza with us. I mean, it wasn't like we didn't have any room.
And when we woke up, we had a swell time, catching up. It turned out that Lilly and Tina had asked them to bring their night things and an extra pair of clothes. So it wasn't until 4.30 when all of us finally went home.
When I reached home, I looked at my phone. Lilly had confiscated it from me before the bridal shower and only returned it, when we left the Plaza.
I was shocked to realize that I had 48 missed calls and 52 messages from Michael.
48 MISSED CALLS.52 MESSAGES.
I swear, I am going to kill Lilly.
I immediately dialed Michael's number. I hope he isn't angry with me.
"Hello?" Michael's voice was thick with sleep.
"Michael?" I said. "I am sorry. I didn't know you called and…"
"Whoa, Mia, calm down. Why do you sound as if you are going to cry?"
"Well, I thought you might be angry at me?"
"What for?"
"Well, I have 48 missed calls and 52 messages from you."
"Yeah.I have been trying all last night to get to you. But your phone was switched off. I wanted you to come and save me."
"Save you? From what?"
"From Boris and Kenny. They took me to what they called bachelor party."
I bit back a laughter.
"Really?"
" threatened me to lock me up in my room if I don't turn up. I seriously don't know why I made them my best man and groomsman."
I chuckled this time.
"What is so funny Mia? They almost took me to a strip club. But I think Lilly had talked them out of , Lars too turned up."
"Michael, Lilly told me how Boris and Kenny threatened you."
"You knew?" disbelief filled his voice. "You knew, but you didn't warn me?"
"Well, I didn't know about it before. Lilly told me about it last night, when I tried to call you, during my bridal shower."
"Bridal shower? Why didn't you tell me about it?"
"I never knew Michael. Lilly and Tina planned it and executed it too. I had no other choice. We had it at the Plaza. Lilly confiscated my phone last night."
"Alright."I heard him grit his teeth through the phone." just tell that sister of mine to make sure she has an insurance claim, because I may kill her today. And oh Mia, you might want to start looking for another maid of honor."
I laughed as I hung up.
The day was definitely looking up.
28th October, 2 p.m, 's Cathedral
Today is our wedding rehearsal. I was sitting at home, reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows for the fourteenth time, when I received a message from Tina.
Mia, whr r u? U forgot abt the rehearsal?
Be at the chapel in 20 mins.
OH MY GOD!I had forgotten about my own wedding rehearsal.
Seriously, I don't deserve to get married at all. I should be sent to live with the nuns.
So, after so much running, and Lars running behind me (I didn't have time to wait for the limo to arrive), I finally reached the chapel. I looked at my watch. I still had five minutes to spare. I caught my breath and patted back my hair, which had grown out really long. Now; I had it till my waist. I walked into the , Tina, Boris, Kenny, Tina's sister, Lilly's cousin, Michael and to my immense surprise, dad, mom and Frank.
"Sorry I was late. I lost track of time."
Michael came forward and kissed me lightly on the lips. Then he said.
"It's just got here." he waved at all of them.
"Okay, alright."Said Lilly, impatiently.
I would have shot her like 10 years ago, if she wasn't my best friend.
"What are we waiting for? Let's begin. Helen?"
She looked at mom.
She nodded and came forward.
"So, the flower girl comes first." said mom, looking at us. "Who is the flower girl?"
I nodded at Tina's young sister, Michelle Hakim were quite friendly with each other and when Tina told her that I wanted her to be my flower girl, she agreed.
Michelle stood first, followed by Andrew, Michael's and Lilly's 12 year old cousin, who is the ring bearer. Then Tina, the bride's maid with Kenny, then Lilly, the maid of honor, with Boris, and then finally, me, with dad.
Michael was supposed to wait for me at the end of the aisle. Boris and Kenny are supposed to stand next to him. The girls beside me.
And then after the ceremony, I am supposed to walk, or rather run out of the chapel, with Michael and everybody following us.
Okay, I got everything else. I am cool.
It would turn out to be the awesomest day in my life.
Another chapter done. It is short, I almost ran out of ideas. Thanks to all those websites for information. And sorry if I did anything wrong. As I said in the last chapter, I'm an Indian and we don't have wedding rehearsals here.
