《Taking My Heart (Completed)》58. Prettiest Gown Ever
Advertisement
"Okay, okay. So what is the difference between these two dresses? They look identical to me." I stare at the picture before looking up to Jovi.
He laughs. "Girly, this one has a different lace pattern."
I rub my temples. This is so far from what I was thinking when it came to planning a wedding. I am not picky on pretty much anything, which turns out makes choosing hard because there is little things I like about each one.
"Is it something you want to look for a dress in person, instead of pictures?" Lola smiles at me.
"Maybe? I can't tell everything with the pictures and the last thing I want is for me to say I like that dress, order it for it to only make my skin itch too." I sigh slumping back on the couch.
Jovi laughs and closes the magazine before sitting back in the chair next to me. "Makes more sense totally when you say that. Something I didn't think of is the materials used and some are down right awful."
Lola and I both laugh when he shudders.
"Just how do you know which one itches more than the next?" Lola laughs.
"Trial and error." Jovi smirks.
The doorbell goes off and I get up to see who it is. When I open the door, Mom and Gram are smiling wide.
"Hi, sweet girl. We hope we are not intruding but we brought something." Mom holds a box.
"Not at all! You both are welcome over any time." I get a hug from Gram.
"I needed to see how this placed looked now that it is all decorated up." Gram laughs. She was over the night we moved in, Mom brought her here to where she was not left out on seeing what the house looked like.
Mom closes the door once she steps into the house. She hands me the box and walks over to the couch. All the fur babies are already surrounding Gram, they don't care about anyone else when she is around. Not that I blame them one bit, because I love my Gram just as much.

"Now, I don't expect you to like what is in the box but as my oldest daughter and first to be getting married it is only fitting you have this." Mom points the box in my hands.
"It is something the women of our family has had for generations. Well, when you see pictures it is always changed to fit the woman that wear it, but still the same old material." Gram nods.
I put the box on the coffee table and open it up.
"Wait? Shane is not here is he?" Gram looks around.
"No, Gram he went to get his new trailer but should be back by dinner if things go smoothly."
"Okay, you can move the paper on top then." Gram smiles.
When I move the tissue paper on the top, my eyes meet a pearl white material. My fingers reach out to remove it from the box and the silky material feels so nice. I glance at Mom and Gram, who are both smiling wide with misty eyes.
I pull the material up and am greeted with the most prettiest gown ever. My mouth opens but nothing comes out, I can't accept this. This has to be delicate being it is something from our family and probably costed a fortune to have cleaned to look this prestine.
Looks to have a V neckline and a lace belt arouns the midsection. The sleeves would barely be called any but will hang loose on my shoulders. With a straight down fit that would be slightly loose.
"It is beautiful." I finally get out.
"We had a feeling that Shane was the one well before any of us knew he was proposing. I knew from the moment you spoke to me about him, that he was the one. So, I pulled out the material that has been stored away and your mom brought over hers." Gram smiled.

"We have been secretly making you your gown together. It is the best experience I have got to do with my mom. Something I have enjoyed doing this much more than working all the time." Mom smiled wide, as she wipes her eyes.
With gentle care, I lay the dress down as Mom and Gram stand up. Once they walk around the table, I am embraced between the two women in my life that has taught and been there for me.
"Thank you both so much. I love it." My eyes get watery, but I love being in their arms.
"You will always be my little girl, but Shane is the one for you honey. You found the love, I was never able too and for that you have no clue how happy I am for you. To see you finally open up to someone." Mom kisses my head.
Gram pulls away and looks to Lola. "Don't you worry sugar plum. Gram here has plenty of material left to make you up a dress of your own too, when you find the right one."
Lola smiles. "That may be a long time Gram."
"It will happen." Gram laughs.
We all sit back down, after I get something for Mom and Gram to drink.
"I know you got coffee here. Can't I have just a tiny cup." Gram smiles brightly.
"I don't think so mom." Mom narrows her eyes at Gram.
We all fall into a fit of laughter.
This feelings even better only person missing is Shane.
"Now is this going to be a church wedding or outdoors?" Gram asks nicely, while Vixen wiggles his head onto her lap.
"What if we do it here? Out back when in the fenced in area?" I question myself. "I like the fact there is smaller trees, even if they are fruit trees but it gives it a natural feel out there. Plus, with the color the leaves are changing makes it a colorful picture."
"There is not flowers in the fenced in section though. You were wanting flowers." Jovi points out.
"That is a easy fix. Potted plants can be placed nicely around the trees and where you both will stand for pictures." Lola adds in.
I nod. "I really like that idea. It would be colorful around us in nature."
"Good choice! Now, which potted plants. There are mums this time of year with it being fall. If there is a cold morning at least frost won't kill them instantly." Gram pipes up.
I nod. "I think those would be pretty."
"Oh, I could pick some of the flowers from my garden to add to the mums to get more of the vibrate colors you enjoy. The flowers grew very lovely this year." Mom smiles.
"That would be great!" I smile, my nerves getting all excited.
"I know of just the person to marry you guys too. All I have to do is let him know the day and I bet he would be here in a heartbeat." Lola blushes.
"Oh?" Gram smirks, making Lola blush even harder. "You're next sugar plum. I told you it wouldn't be long."
Gram always seems to know, even if I thought it was a innocent blush from my baby sister.
