It was the day the girls planned to go and try bridesmaids dresses. Unfortunately, Aria's cousin couldn't fly over from Australia so it was just Spencer and Hanna joining her. Spencer and Hanna had been picked up by Aria and they were all on their way to the first bridal store, Aria had found a couple of bridesmaids dresses she would love her bridesmaids to wear. The first was sage green, strapless with a sweetheart neckline and beaded waistband.
"You both look amazing!" Aria exclaimed when the pair left the changing cubicles towards the back of the store.
"These are stunning Aria! Good job!" Hanna commented.
"They're so nice." Spencer added as she admired herself in another full length mirror next to her.
"Don't get too attached though girlies, there's still one more I want you two to try on before we make a decision."
As Hanna walked back to the changing cubicles, Spencer stayed and asked Aria whether she was going to try anything on. "No..I'm sorry.." Aria looked to the manager sympathetically. "I've already found the perfect dress elsewhere." Spencer smiled and went back to change into her normal clothes.

The next bridal store was a 30 minute drive away, so Aria, Hanna and Spencer stopped off for a quick coffee. As they drank at the cafe next to the bridal store they had just left they were met by a familiar face - Jackie Molina.
"Aria?" the girls heard from behind them.
Aria furrowed her eyebrows 'Why is she talking to me?' "Jackie, hi, how are you?"
"I'm well how are you?"
"Very well thank you for asking. Did you want to take a seat?" Aria asked knowing that there was no point being hostile. Ezra was out of her life and she was marrying Jason - there was no need for awkwardness.
"Oh thanks." Jackie sat down and Aria introduced her to Spencer and Hanna. "Nice to meet you both. So, how was college?"
"I loved it.."
Aria was interupted by a waitress asking if Jackie would like to order anything. "Just an iced tea and lemon muffin please... sorry about that."
"It's fine. Yeah, I was saying that I loved college. One of the best experiences ever. I'm so glad I decided to go."
"That's great! What did you study?"
"Real estate and property development."
"Oh really? I remember Ezra mentioning that you were planning on studying literature. Why the change?"
"After lots of research, I realised that literature wouldn't take me far in life. I could only really teach. So I went with my back up plan and it's one of my best choices as it ties nicely with my Fiance's line of work - he's an architect."
"Yeah, literature's probably not the best course to do at college and you're engaged? To whom?"
"Jason DiLaurentis." Aria answered with a smile on his face.
"Oh, the DiLaurentis name is familiar. Where did you meet him?"
"DiLaurentis is probably familiar because his sister was the 15 year old who went missing from Rosewood a few years ago and then was found buried underneath a house. And the girl was our best friend, so we met through her when I was 13 or 14 years old."
"Ohh, that's right now I remember! How long have you been engaged?"
"For nearly a year. He proposed on August 27th."
"Aww, I wish you both the best."
"Thank you. So, any men in your life?"
"None. Ezra tried coming back to me a couple of years ago but I was totally done with him. I just wanted him out of my life for good."
"So, you two are no longer in contact?"
"Nope, cut off all contact.""
"Same here."
"Guess we both finally grew up to realise he wasn't who we thought he was at the beginning of our relationships."
Aria nodded her head and bit her lip. "Yep, he did get pretty controlling.. and jealous."
"His worst traits."
Aria finally snapped out of the surrealness of her conversation with Jackie and realised they needed to leave to go and visit the next bridal store. "Oh! I'm sorry Jackie we really have to go but it was nice seeing you again." Aria stood up and put her jacket on and the girls also did the same.
"Bye."
"See you."

Aria, Spencer and Hanna arrived at the other bridal store and were straight into the cubicles trying on the second and final dress. This one was pastel yellow, has one floral strap which sat on the right shoulder and the dress reached to the top of their calves and below their knees.
Back in Rosewood, Jason and his mother were sitting at his house discussing plans for the wedding.
"Color schemes?" Jessica DiLaurentis asked.
"Well, I'll know that when Aria has decided on the bridesmaids' dresses."
"She still hasn't picked her bridesmaids' dresses?"
"She, Spencer and Hanna have gone to look at them today. There's only two dresses apparently. One is green and the other is yellow. I don't even know what shades."
"Both are nice colors for summer."
"Yeah, I guess." Jason didn't know alot regarding their wedding plans so he decided to get up and cook lunch for his mom.
Back at the bridal store Aria, Hanna and Spencer had both decided that the sage green dress was slightly better than the pastel yellow.

The girls arrived back in Rosewood happy that their dresses were ordered and were in line for alterations. Aria invited them round to Jason's for lunch, when they stepped into the front door, they heard a familiar voice. They all walked into the kitchen to find Mrs DiLaurentis and Jason there.
"Aria!" Mrs DiLaurentis exclaimed "It's good to see you!"
"Aww, you too." Aria went to hug her.
"And it's nice to see you two girls also." Mrs DiLaurentis gave Spencer and Hanna a hug and chatted with them as Aria went to Jason. Aria got on her tiptoes to kiss him before whispering "Why didn't you tell me she was here?"
"I did." Jason told her as he wiped down his hands and Aria looked at her phone.
"Oh."
"I have to drop her off at my auntie's in a few minutes so you girls get the house to yourself for a good few hours."
"Nice."
"Mom, should we go?"
Mrs DiLaurentis checked her watch. "Yes. Well it was nice seeing you all." she waved as she walked out of the kitchen and to the front door.
Jason bent down to kiss Aria "I'll be back by 7."
Aria kissed him back "Okay, I love you."
"I love you more." Jason followed his mother out.

Just as Jason had said he was back at exactly 7. Aria was having an evening soak in the bathtub when she heard the front door open and close. "Jason?" she called out.
She heard someone running up the stairs. "I'm back." Jason announced as she opened the bathroom door.
"Well somebody's been very punctual these past few weeks!" Aria joked as tapped he foot on his lower back when he sat on the edge of the tub.
"I'm always punctual baby." Jason leaned down to kiss her and then removed his shirt before taking off his socks, jeans and boxers.
"Woah! This is my bath!" Aria declared.
"Nooo, it's OURS!" Jason emphasised as he stepped into the tub.
Aria groaned. "Well this bath had officially been ruined.." Aria moaned jokingly.
"Quit crying, you love it when we have baths together." Jason told her as he ran his fingers through his hair.
Aria rested her feet on Jason's chest as she relaxed into the bath enjoying the warmth.

Half an hour later they were out of the bath and downstairs watching a movie. It was coming towards the end of July, so the unexpected rainfall was a plesant surprise.
Jason and Aria sat snuggled together beneath a blanket eating toffee popcorn and masses of chocolate. When the film ended, the both headed upstairs, both of them exhausted.
As they lay together, Aria reminded Jason that they had an appointment with a caterer at 10.30 in the morning.
