I nervously took my father's arm as he walked me out into the backyard at my in-law's estate. It's okay to call them in-laws at this point, right? We walked across the yard and onto the pink rose petal make-shift carpet as peacocks wandered around in the flower jungle my mother-in-law had created. It was absolutely wonderful. I looked out at the crowd and could only see one face, George.
With my father keeping me steady, which I was thankful for because whoever decided a backyard wedding would be a great idea in these heels needed to be shot. As I thought that I recalled, it was my idea. Well, shoot me now.
George was the most handsome I had ever seen him in his white tux. I was so against white, but now seeing him in it, he looked like every prince charming I had ever read about. He had a light pink rose on his lapel, and his green eyes drew me in the closer I got. Everything else around me was a blur of faces and people. I couldn't believe

My wedding day. I woke up before the sun, and my best friend Trinity was already at my apartment. I didn't have a ton of things to worry about. We had triple check our to-dos, and everything was in place. Now it was just getting ready and letting everything fall into place. I had a wedding planner just for the day of, so I didn't have to be overly stressed and could enjoy the day with my family and friends. All I had to do was show up to another best day ever.I went to my mom's friend's spa, and all of my bridesmaids, my mother, and my soon-to-be mother-in-law were all there, ready to get done up for the wedding.We headed to the salon area, which was closed off to our group, and we were treated with hot towels, mimosas, and mineral water. We were given face massages and prepped for make-up, mani-pedis, and aromatherapy to help relax us before the events of the day. They worked on our hair and make-up interchangeably, and we were thoroughly
The next morning George woke me up with a kiss. He moved over my body and straddled me, and stared into my eyes. He was trying to read what was in there, and most of the time, he could, but I didn't even know what was in there. He dipped his head down and kissed me. It was a long kiss that had meaning behind it. Only I wasn't quite sure what the meaning was. He pulled my nighty over my head, leaving me in my panties.He kissed down my neck and between my breasts and kept looking into my eyes, trying to read my mind. Still getting nothing because nothing was in there but a jumbled-up mess. Maybe he could untangle it and then tell me what it was.He put a hand behind me and pulled my body up as his mouth claimed one, then the other of my breasts. I moaned, and he looked up again, peering into my soul. He dropped me to the bed and pulled off my panties. He pushed my pussy lips apart and dragged his thumb through my wetness and around my clit. A
I didn't talk to George that night. I finished work and went home and made dinner with him. We talked about his day at work, my day at work sans the doctor call, and getting some new swimsuits for our honeymoon. He wanted to make a day of it. Saturday, we would carve a few hours to go shopping together for whatever we needed for our honeymoon.I didn't mention the baby to George as he made love to me that night. I thought about all those times we had made love in the past few months and how we were inseparable; we couldn't keep our hands off each other.I was trying to remember when I actually had my period last. The doctor said I was seven weeks along. So my last period would have had to have been at least 2 months ago. How did that not raise a red flag? I had thought it was related to stress. It never dawned on me that I might be pregnant. It wasn't in the plan. We didn't plan to get pregnant until year six.George not
I woke up the next morning to my alarm. I was in bed. George had taken my shoes off and carried me to bed. I had slept through the rest of the night without so much as a stir. George's side of the bed was empty, and he had made it up around me before going for his morning run and heading into work. He, too, had scheduled his workdays to coincide with mine one week before the wedding. He would take two weeks off before beginning the intense run up the ladder his father had in store for him.I smiled sleepily before stretching and making my side of the bed. I went into the kitchen and poured a cup of coffee that George had put on before leaving. Then I went to work. I worked at a high-end fashion boutique where I was given the opportunity to sit in with the buyer and do a little bit of shadowing when business permitted it. Today was not one of those days. The fall season had been in full swing with a rush of customers sending assistants to pick up new wardrobe changes before th
The next day at my fitting, the designer said I had gained a couple of centimeters in which I would still fit in the dress, but it would be a tight fit. He suggested I try to lose a pound or two but was sufficient with my fitting and said he would make a couple of small adjustments just in case and wrap my dress and the maid of honor's dress and have them ready for pick up the next day.Our brunch went well and almost qualified as best day number two, but I was so anticipating the wedding day to take that spot it overshadowed the idea that the brunch could. It was called the bridesmaid's brunch, but my mother and soon-to-be-mother-in-law were there as well as some aunts from both sides, cousins and a couple of female friends. It was a lady's event, and we had a blast. It ended with both mothers giving gifts to everyone. Spa day certificates from my mom, whose best friend owned a spa. And shopping cards, good for $1000 for each of us from George's mom, whose husb
