(Elizabeth's point of view)
The wedding is getting closer. Things seemed to move quickly after we sent out the invitations. The RSVP's started coming in. I was a little shocked that most were yes'. Now we are three weeks from our special day.
Last night after going through the RSVP's I realized I needed to start the seating chart. I really needed some help. I didn't want to ask Carly and Emily to help because of the fighting. I couldn't just ask Emily or Carly someone would get their feelings hurt. I thought about asking Sonny to help. I didn't want to put him in the middle.
Francis came in with four huge poster boards. I got everything else out I needed. I sat just staring at the tables I had designed. I just wasn't sure how to do this.
I turned on some music. I sat down. I curled up on the couch. I would get started in a minute or two. I felt exhausted.
"Elizabeth? Elizabeth wake up." Jason said softly.
"What are you doing home?" I asked yawning.
"It's six." Jason answered.
"Crap I fell asleep." I said annoyed with myself.
"What are you working on?" Jason asked.
"The seating chart for our reception." I answered.
"Why isn't Emily and Carly helping?" Jason asked.
"I'm just over all the fighting." I admitted.
"Do you need any help?" Jason asked.
"No I'm fine." I lied.
"No you aren't let me help. It's my wedding too." Jason said hugging me.
"Okay well everyone who has RSVP'd name is on these." I explained handing him the small pieces of paper.
"What do we do with them?" Jason asked clearly lost on what to do.
"Put them at the tables on the charts. The tables are numbered so we can also write them down." I answered.
"I never imagined it would be this many people." Jason said.
"Are you kidding?" I asked.
"Most people don't like me." Jason said honestly.
"No they are scared of you. And I am Audrey's granddaughter. And well you are you know." I said not wanting to upset him about the Quartermaine's.
"Are they all coming?" He asked referring to the Quartermaine's.
"Well most of them are." I answered.
"Maybe we should sit Alan and Monica closer to us." Jason said.
"And Ned and Lois?" I asked.
"I guess." He answered.
"You can admit to me that you like Ned." I teased.
"You better not tell him that." Jason warned tickling me.
"He likes you too Babe." I said.
"Did Emily tell you that?" Jason asked.
"No Ned did at our engagement party. He said he didn't like your job but you as a person he could respect and like." I answered as Jason nodded.
"Does the wedding party sit with us?" Jason asked looking at the long table that had our names.
"Yes they do. Sarah and Francis gratefully agreed to sit between Carly and Emily." I answered.
"And how did you get Francis to agree to that?" Jason asked me.
"He really doesn't care where he sits as long as it's no where near Edward." I answered.
"Who are we making sit next to the old man?" Jason asked.
"Lila and Reginald." I answered.
"AJ won't be there will he?" Jason asked.
"No and Monica understood why we didn't invite him." I said.
"Good." Jason said.
"Who should sit with Bobbi?" I asked.
"She'll probably sit with Luke and Laura." Jason answered.
"I have them sitting with my family." I said.
"Maybe we should sit Mike there too?" Jason suggested.
"Sounds good to me." I answered.
"I still can't believe how many people are coming." Jason said holding the cards.
"Yeah now we just have to figure out where to sit them." I said still working.
"I'm going to order us some dinner it's seven already." Jason said.
"Sounds good." I responded.
I kept working on the chart. Jason rejoined me. We worked until the food arrived. After we eat we finished up the seating chart. I was once again exhausted as we finished.
Jason carried me up to bed. We lay cuddling until I fell asleep. I dreamed of the wedding. I couldn't escape it even in my dreams.
When I woke up this morning I realized my finally dress fitting is just a week away. We were down to all the last minute details. Ten more days and my family would arrive. I had missed my sister and brother a lot but I missed Grams the most.
