I twisted my hair around the curling iron over and over. Behind me the girls were all getting their own hair ready. My mom and Amy were downstairs staying out of our way but I was going to need them soon to get into my dress.

I was almost finished with my hair but now I was obsessively curling it, making sure it looked perfect.

"Hey Jay, I think you've curled every damn hair on your head. Why don't you focus on putting the flowers in now?" Lauren chuckled, turning on some music. I glared at her. I had already added a poof in my hair and then braided around it. Then I left the bottom down and curled. Now I had to trail black roses all the way around the back of the braid.

"Can you do it? I can't reach around back there." I said.

"Yes, of course! We're your personal servants today!" She exclaimed, grabbing the flowers off of the bathroom counter. She began pinning them in and in about ten minutes she was done. I sighed wishing I could talk to Andy but Lauren took my phone. She said there was no way in hell I was talking to him until we were on the alter.

"I'm starting to get nervous." I said shaking out my hands. She patted my back.

"Don't get yourself worked up, Jay." Emma said coming to stand by me. "Do your makeup and relax. You still have an hour before we need to get there."

"I know I just feel like I don't look good enough." I said picking up my makeup bag from the floor.

"Are you kidding me? You look like a princess already! Andy is going to fall through the floor!" Ella exclaimed.

"You guys really think so?" I asked, taking out my foundation and putting it on my face.

"Yes!" They all shouted and I laughed.

"Okay, okay." They all had finished their hair and makeup and now were sitting on the bathtub behind me. "Can someone go get me something to eat?" I asked, starting to brush the powder on my face.

"I'll get it," Sammi said, "What do you want?"

"See if we have any fruit salad left! Thank you, Sam's." I blew her a kiss as she walked out. I was so glad Andy had convinced me to ask Sammi and Ella to be in my wedding because they had become two of my closest friends.

"What lipstick are you wearing?" Lauren asked digging though my bag. I chuckled.

"I think dark red." I said.

"Ooh pretty." She said picking up the tube I was talking about. Ella stood up and walked into my old bare bedroom. My dress was lying on the old bed.

"God this is gorgeous Jasey!" She said. "It's going to look perfect on you!"

"Thanks." I chuckled, "It took forever to find it, right Laur?"

"Yeah, hey Jay where is the other bathroom up here?" She asked.

"Just down the hall, are you alright?" She shook her head and ran out. Emma and Ella looked at her with wide eyes.

"What the heck?" Emma said. I shrugged and started on my eyeshadow. Sammi came back with a plate for me.

"Here you are, my darling." She said placing it down on the counter. I popped a grape in my mouth and smiled at her. She laughed and Lauren came back in.

"Are you alright, girly?" I asked.

"Jasey I wasn't going to tell you this because it would take away from your day but it looks like I have to now." She sighed, "I'm pregnant."

"WHAT!? OH MY GOD LAUREN WILHELM I CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!" I screamed.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want to distract anyone from you. This is about you and Andy's union not me and the fetus growing in my stomach!" She exclaimed.

"When did you find out!?" I asked.

"Two weeks ago." She sighed, "I'm afraid, Jay." I took her hand.

"Don't be, Lauren. Your going to be a great mommy." I smiled.

"I hope. Now enough of that! Let's finish getting you ready!"

I looked at myself in the mirror. I had finished putting on my dress and our photographer had been here getting pictures of it. The only thing left to put on was my necklace, and veil. It was the same one my mother wore in her wedding.

It was a beautiful, diamond necklace with tear shaped stones hanging off of the chain. I clipped it around my neck and smiled.

"You look brilliant, Jay. Put your veil on." Lauren said handing it to me. I clipped the diamond into the top of hair and let it spread around my shoulders.

"Oh my god!" I said, cracking my knuckles. My mom and Amy both walked in the room. They immediately started to cry.

"You look so beautiful!" My mom said running to my side, Amy followed her and they both hugged me.

"I'm so excited for you!" She exclaimed.

"The limo is outside, Jay." I closed my eyes and reopened them and nodded. Amy and mom grabbed my hands and we all walked out the photographer following us.
