"OW!" I yell as Blair continues to poke at my dress with more pins.

"For a model, I thought you would be used to quick alterations!"

"B, maybe doing an alteration minutes before the wedding wasn't the..."

"Enough S, I am in the middle of perfection." Serena rubs my shoulder as I endure more alterations from one of Blair's employees. Blair was thrilled when I asked for her help in designing my wedding dress. She jumped at the opportunity to make bridesmaid dresses but I declined her offer since I didn't want bridesmaids. I did ask her though to design Charlotte her dream flower girl dress.

"Well, is perfection almost over? I don't want to miss my wedding because you are concerned about every stitch being perfect!"

"Hey! With that attitude, you'll never walk down that aisle if I have anything to do with it."

"B, can we hurry up I just got a text from my mom that Charlotte is getting antsy and keeps asking for food."

"I will not rush my design!"

"B!"

"Fine, Helen I think the dress is perfect."

"Thank god!" They both help me put on my vail. I turn to see myself for the first time in my wedding dress since my first fitting. I'm practically brought to tears with Blair's handy work. I've had the pleasure of wearing some of the most beautiful designs in the world but none can compare how I look on my wedding day. Someone knocking on the door causes us to turn around.

"Oh..." Lily covers her mouth as she is brought to tears at the sight of me. "Oh Ella, you look beautiful!!!" She comes over to hug me and place a kiss on my cheek. "I have never seen a more beautiful bride."

"Lily don't cry you will ruin your makeup." I tell her hugging her back.

"I can't believe you're getting married."

"Mommy!!! Look at this!" Charlotte comes running in holding a lollypop in her hand.

"Who gave you this?" I ask her as she continues to suck on the blue colored candy. I brush her hair back so I can keep it out of the candy. Wouldn't want Blair flipping out because she got candy on her custom BW dress.

"Uncle Chuck."

"Well, uncle chuck can deal with you when you have a sugar rush by the end of the night."

"What is..."

"Excuse us, uh everyone's ready if you are?" Fiona pops her head in to check on us. "Oh, Ella you are radiating perfection."

"Thank you, Fiona. I uh...I guess I'm ready." I pick Charlotte up after throwing her eaten candy in the trash. "Sweetie you will follow aunt Serena and Gigi like we have practice." I assure her placing a kiss on her cheek.
