Today's the day that I finally get married to the man I love. I roll over in bed expecting him to be there but instead I'm greeted by his side being cold. I open my eyes and find a note

I'm sorry I'm not here when you wake up but Cheryl woke me up and kicked me out. Toni has Adeline so you were able to sleep. I can't wait for you to be my wife I love you Ella Jones.
- Sweet Pea x

I swing my legs out of bed and walk out of the bedroom to see Toni bouncing Ad
"Today your mummy and daddy are getting married. They love each other so much and they love you. You are one loved little girl, your mummy and daddy might not have much but they do have an infinite amount of love and so do I and auntie Cheryl and auntie Betty and uncle Jug and...."
"Ok ok TT your gonna send her to sleep. Let me have her" I watch as Toni passes Ad to Cheryl
"Good morning guys" I say walking out from the doorway
"Aghhh your awake. Ok so Veronica will be here any minute and so will Betty" Toni runs up to me "how does it feel. Today your marrying Sweet Pea"
"I'm excited, but also kinda nervous. Like what if I mess up the vows? Or what if when Fangs asks if there's any objection and someone stands up? Or what if Ad cries the whole time? Or what if I fall and...."
"Ok stop before you have a heart attack" Cheryl says putting Adeline in her crib "you won't mess up your vows because you need to just speak from the heart. If anyone tries to ruin your day I personally will be having words. If Ad cries then TT or I will sort her out and finally your not gonna fall, you used to walk in heals all the time before you were pregnant so just sit down and chill" Cheryl drags me over to the couch
"Ok your right I need to chill" just then the door swings open and in walks Betty and Veronica holding a garment bag
"Eeeek it's happing today" she squeals
"Is it sorted?" Cheryl asks
"Yup sweet water looks amazing" Betty says as Veronica sets down the bag
"What's in there?" I ask nodding to her bag
"Ok so I know you said you were just gonna wear your serpent jacket but you need to wear a dress as well so I'm letting you have this..." Veronica opens up the bag and pulls out the dress she wore for her conformation
"Is that?"
"Yes. So I had your beau sneak me in while you were asleep so I could take measurements from your other dresses to make sure it would fit"
"I- I don't know what to say.." I'm practically lost for words
"How about yes you'll wear it?"
"V of course thank you so much" I get up and hug her
"Ok so we have about 5 hours to get you and ourselves ready. So shower now quick chop chop" Cheryl claps making me laugh as I walk over to the bathroom "oh and make sure your smooth" she yells earning an eye roll from me.

After the shower, hair wash and shaving of everywhere, I sit at my vanity with a face mask on in my dressing gown that Veronica had bought me saying 'bride to be' while Toni is blow drying my hair in her dressing gown that says 'maid of honour'. The alarm goes off to tell me to take my mask off, I peel it off and rub what's left over into my skin. Cheryl walks in with her hair wet and in a dressing gown that says 'brides maid'
"Let's get started on your makeup shall we" she says opening my makeup bag "ok remind me to buy you some more makeup for your birthday" she says looking in the bag. She pulls out some foundation and begins to apply it while Toni does my hair
"So the boys are finally up" Betty says walking in to the bedroom putting her phone in the pocket of her dressing gown which also says bridesmaid
"You all know how much they like their sleep" I giggle
"Yeah well I rang Juggie and Mr Pea was the one who answered. Said he's ready"
"Of course he would be. I told him if he wasn't I would not be happy" Cheryl says. Ad begins crying and I start to stand up to get her
"I'll get her" Betty says as Cheryl pushes me back down on to the chair
"She probably needs feeding" I reach my arms as Betty hands her to me to feed "you guys don't mind if I feed her right?"
"No it's ok" Cheryl says smiling at me
"Yeah go for it" Betty says as she starts to brush out her hair
"Thanks. I think I have just enough in the fridge for today but now that I'm wearing a dress I don't want to keep zipping and unzipping it"
"El you don't have to explain. Your a mum with a baby. Just feed her" Toni says laughing. 4 hours later and we are all ready
