Zacky and Diana had spent the weekend at the cabin engulfed in their engagement bliss and only emerged to return to their normal lives. When they returned to Huntington Beach they unloaded at Diana’s house then headed to Matt’s where everyone was at for the day. When they walked through the door Diana was immediately tackled by Jimmy who was nothing but smiles.

“There’s my happy love birds!”

“You knew?” Diana laughed at him.

“Of course I did! Zacky came to me and asked if he could marry you which for your benefit I told him no at first but then he convinced me.”

“I had to win at a beer pong.”

“Best way to give my sister away I could think of.”

They shared another laugh and walked to the living room where the guys were set up with Call of Duty and Valarie and Michelle just chatted until they saw Diana and were the next ones to tackle her to congratulate her and look at her ring.

“It’s beautiful Di congrats!” Michelle beamed at her.

“I guess wedding fever is catching on! You better watch out Michelle your next.” Valarie nudged her with her elbow and Michelle blushed as she looked over at Brian.

“So have you two thought of a date?”

“It’s been three days Michelle! Well we were thinking April actually.” The trio laughed again and the screaming from the guys drowned the laughter out.

“It’s already November will you be ready by then?”

“We haven’t decided what we’re doing but with you guys’ help I’ll be fine.

“Well it’s a good thing because I booked you an appointment with a dresser tomorrow!” Valarie beamed like a proud bridesmaid.

By the next afternoon Diana had been drug out of bed by Valarie and dressed to head downtown. One surprise that Diana hadn’t anticipated was Momo sitting outside the bridal shop looking bored already.

“Momo! Who told you?” Diana asked happily as she approached her and the front of the shop.

“Valarie called last night to tell me what happened! Some best friend you are couldn’t even tell me you were engaged!”

Diana laughed and the three women headed inside the small shop. Three hours later Momo was laying on the floor with her feet in the air against the wall singing Poker Face in men’s voices and Valarie was bossing the seamstress around trying to find the right dress. Diana wandered around the store until she hit the rack with more colorful dresses. She thumbed through them until she saw a slightly tinted pink dress and pulled it out. She then went to the dressing room and slipped it on and looked herself over in the mirror. It was considered a mermaid dress because of the tight frame and long train that was adorned with ruffles and a deep red bow was wrapped around her waist to show the hourglass figure of her body and hips. When she emerged smiling from the dressing room everyone stopped to look over the dress.

“I found it. The one.”

“Oh Diana its perfect!” Momo leaped up and circled her looking the dress over.

Valarie set down the dresses in her hands and started pulling her hair up into a messy bun.

“Just some simple diamonds and it’ll make it completely perfect.”

Diana smiled and looked into the mirror and in the first time in four days it hit her that she was getting married. She was getting married to the man she had loved for years and this fairy tale dress fit her perfect fairy tale life now. It was a giant bow on the present.

“Momo can I trust that if I leave the dress at your house no one but us three gets to see it.”

“Absolutely Diana!”

Diana smiled one last time as she looked at herself in her dress. She went back to the dressing room and slipped it off and handed to the lady to get ready to take with them. After dressing and paying Diana handed the dress off to Momo who carefully laid it down in the back seat of her Beetle. After hugs and promises of more wedding preparations later they departed and as Valarie drove Diana home she couldn’t seem to shake the smiled plastered to her face.

Notes

Shorter chapter than I've been allowing myself to write lately but I wanted Diana to get her dress asap
