The wedding! The wedding! The wedding! Finally!

8 hours before the wedding

Violet Halliwell woke up, her eyes wide as she remembered what day it was. She jumped out of her bed and used the air to propel herself down the stairs.

"Guess what day it is!" She yelled at her bridesmaids. Valkyrie and Jade were sipping coffee.

"A Saturday?" Valkyrie smirked.

"A lovely warm day?" Jade grinned.

"MY WEDDING DAY!" Violet shrieked. "Today is the day I get married to Billy-Ray Sanguine. My gorgeous, caring and kind fiance." Then her voice faltered. "I don't love him."

"What!" Jade groaned. "My fucking God, Violet bloody Halliwell."

"Haha, just kidding." She giggled. Jade and Valkyrie stared at her, open-mouthed. "Was that not a good joke?"

"I nearly shit myself, you imbecile." Valkyrie sighed. "I'm not going to be the one who tells everyone that the wedding's off."

"I can't wait! How many hours left?" Violet squealed and looked at the clock. "I'm too excited to work it out. Chief bridesmaid?"

Jade checked her clipboard. "It is 7:05 Irish time so it is 7 hours and 55 minutes until the wedding. You're up on time. My schedule's gonna go great."

"You're so organized." Valkyrie said, admiringly.

"I know I am." Jade winked. "Now, bridey, it's time for," she checked her phone, "texting the groom."

Violet took the phone off Jade (her's had been confiscated for the day) and smiled at the text Sanguine had sent.

Morning, my beautiful bride, 8 hours left! Groom xx

Morning, my gorgeous groom, 7 hours 54 minutes left! Bride xx

"You done?" Jade asked and tried to snatch the phone off Violet. She held it high and stood on a chair. Then, Violet opened the new text from Anton.

"Hi," she read out, "I know you don't want to talk to me. But..." She giggled. "I really want to BANG you."

"Oh my God!" Valkyrie laughed. "Pass it here." She grabbed the phone. "I really love you, Jade, and I want you to accept my proposal. Just say yes, baby."

Valkyrie gave a small smile and handed Jade the phone back.

"So. What are you going to say?" Violet raised an eyebrow.

"No. Obviously." Jade paused then text him. No.

"That's unromantic." Violet glared at her. "Just, No?"

"It's your wedding day, Vi, let's focus on you. It's 7:10am, you're 5 minutes late for your breakfast." Jade snapped, consulting her phone, clipboard and the clock at the same time.

"What's for breakfast?" Violet perked up.

Valkyrie lifted the cloth off Violet's plate. "A delicious selection of a small bagel with cheese spread, ten grapes and a glass of orange juice."

"Oh yum. I need more than that, Val."

"Don't blame me. Ask Bridesmaidzilla over there." Valkyrie gestured towards Jade, who was frantically searching through the fridge.

"Who drank the celebratory lunch champagne?" She asked in panic.

"I did," came a smug voice and Jade looked up to see Erskine stood at the door.

"That was for us!"

"I'm one of you gals. And Skulduggery threw me out because I sat on his hat. I'm having an hour time out. I was going to go to a pub but then I remembered YOU!" Erksine jabbed Jade's arm. "You broke Anton's damn heart."

"Gluh." Violet groaned. "Guys, can't you stop going on about Jade and Anton's dilemma when it's my wedding day?!"

"Ah yes. Happy Wedding Day, honey!" Erskine hugged her.

"Go, Erskine, get back to the groom. Us bridesmaids need to follow Jade's schedule or she'll get maaaad." Valkyrie laughed and pushed him out the door after a brief hug.

"Fine, ladies, I'll go. But remember, Vi, I'm always here if you bail out on Sanguine."

"What? For a shoulder to cry on? A friend?" Violet smiled. "That's cu-"

"No. If you wanna have revenge sex." Erskine grinned. Then walked out the door yelling, "Holla, brudders, peace out!"
