"Ew no I can't believe they sent this with the dress. This is just...awful!" Kia huffs dragging the dress across the room and hanging it on the wardrobe door.

"Don't be rude!" I scowl in Kiaras direction which does little to stop her disgusted look to the veil in her hands. "I kinda like it" I shrug narrowing my eyes at myself for lying so plainly.

"Sure Charlie." Ki snorts shoving the veil back into the bag my dress had previously been stored in. She then lifts up the dress picking it up off the hanger and away from the door. She put it on the floor, opening it for me to step into. The netting made the skirt poof out a little and the lace detail on the top of the skirt added that little detail without it being overly 'princessy'. I lift the dress up over my chest and held it there as Kiara quietly hummed fastening it tightly onto my body. "You could've spent millions on this wedding I don't get it." Kiara huffs and I squint my eyes at her a little. She's referring to my dress which was designed by some small New York designer but was one of the most beautiful things I tried on. I originally tried on a style similar and settled on that which had a little less netting and a different neckline but once she heard about Justin Bieber's fiancé wanting to buy one of her dresses I guess she had to get in touch personally.

That's how it seemed to me at least.

"Ki we flew just over 100 people here, rented out half a resort. It's expensive as fu-...really expensive." I mumble stopping myself from cursing with Jacob in my arms. Ki watches me clearly amused by my change in language choices and snorts quietly to herself. "He can hear me!" I defend pathetically looking down at Jakey who's just about falling back to sleep in my arms. I'm so in love with my little marshmallow. I can't quite believe that five and a half months has passed so fast. Jacob's now sitting completely on his own and has this little smile and giggle which lights up my entire universe.

I love him.

I love him and Justin so much.

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago Justin and I were meeting pathetically in the lobby of a hotel. Much harder to believe that just over a year ago I didn't even want a baby and Justin wanted nothing to do with me after I supposedly 'cheated'. Yet here I am, about to get married to my man in a little under an hour.

Shit.

I'm getting married in an hour!

It never fully registered with me before now that this is really happening. I've spent so much of my days at home with Jacob and Justin picking out venues, colour schemes, food, dress and flowers that the day never seemed as though it would come.

I seriously give a huge congratulations to those women who get married 10 times over because...how the fuck?!?! It's so much work and pressure.

Nevertheless we got here in the end and all done in time for the day, our day...today! And things are going so perfectly.

The makeup artist arrived on time and did mine, Kiara, Lola, Rafaella and my Mom's make up. Lola volunteered to do my hair lacing small little flowers in the curls of my hair which had been growing healthily since Jacob was born but also was full with extensions. I had then insisted that everyone leave except Kiara since it was time for Jacobs nap and butterfly's were beginning to set off in my stomach.

"Char, are you okay?" Kiara asks slowly as I bounce up and down Jacob in my arms who's eyes are flickering open and closed in exhaustion. I take a shaky breath looking out the window and the sparkling blue ocean which looked so tempting. I wish we just ran away from it all and got married in the middle of nowhere, maybe on a boat under the sun and with nobody with us. Slowly I nod swaying side to side hoping if nothing else it would send Jacob fully to sleep if not also calm my panicked thoughts.
