On Saturday, Reed dressed in his tuxedo for the wedding. He looked incredible. Very Bond-like.

I dressed in a simple, elegant royal blue dress. It was a sleeveless, fitted, high low cocktail dress. I curled my hair and did my makeup. I slipped on a pair of silver heels and stood from my vanity. I got my clutch ready and went downstairs.

Reed was in the kitchen.

"Are you ready?"

Reed looked up. His eyes widened. His mouth opened a little.

I looked at myself. "What?" I looked up at him.

"You're stunning."

"Thanks," I smiled. "I gotta admit, I like the suit."

He smiled, "I feel like I belong in a prom magazine or something."

I smiled, "It's not that bad."

"I hate this. There's twelve pieces to this suit."

I smiled.

He walked over to me and handed me a to-go cup.

I rose a brow.

"Coffee. We need something to get us through this long evening."

I took a drink and tasted alcohol. I rose a brow.

"With a splash of Bailey's. You never go to these events sober."

I tried not to laugh.

He smiled and gave me a kiss.

I pulled back. "You'll mess up my lipstick."

"That's my goal."

"Not until later," I smirked. "We have to go."

He smiled, "I'll hold you to that."

"On one condition."

He rose a brow.

"I can bring Bailey," I smirked.

"God, yes," he smirked.

"Then, I look forward to it."

He gave me a kiss and pulled me from the townhouse.

We got in his car and left.

"Why is your robe in the car?" he asked as he pulled out of his parking spot.

"I took it to the dry cleaners. It needed cleaned."

He nodded.

As he drove, he took my hand.

I drank my coffee until we got to the church.

It was covered in tulle, crystals, silver, and balloons. It was gorgeous.

He parked and helped me from the car. He led me in.

I signed the guest book.

He led me to the front of the sanctuary.
