sweetheart.” From my position I see Elle’s eyes crinkle in the corners. “It’ll be nice to see my son speechless for once.”
Chloe, mom and I all sigh at the exact same time.
Then, in Hailey fashion, she slips her white sweatpants on with the word bride written on the butt, picks up her little mini-me and her dress. “Let’s go, ladies,” she looks over her shoulder. “I’ve got a hot date waiting for me that I’m about to stun silent.”
We all laugh and grab everything and anything we’re about to need to make this wedding go off without a hitch.

When we all stepped off the elevator Jackson and Hunter were standing there. “What in the world?”
Hunter put up his hand stopping MacKenzie and flanked one side of Hailey while Jackson was on the other. I glanced around wondering what in the hell was going on when a flash caught my attention.
MacKenzie falls in step beside me and Chloe with mom, Elle, and the babies behind us. “Looks like the damn media found out about the wedding.”
I sigh heavily, as does Chloe. “Does that,” Chloe nods with her head to the side, “ever get easier?”
I shrug. “We don’t have that problem, but then again Cooper is still in the minors.”
“Guess I shouldn’t have posted anything on Twitter, huh?” I hear Elle behind me.
MacKenzie falls back a step. “Not your fault, Mom. I don’t understand what the big deal is anyway. Haven’t they seen anyone get married before?”
I guess this is something I might have to get used to should Cooper ever make it to the major league. It’s like Mason became a superstar overnight.
Thankfully, we’re close to the doors and across the boardwalk in no time at all. When we reach the elevators there are two big men dressed in black suits standing on each side of the door. They push the button for us.
Hunter gives a head nod as he steps in and we all follow.
“What the hell?” Hailey says taking Alexis from my mom.
Jackson shrugs. “They were down there when we all came over a little bit ago.”
Hailey shakes her head and no one says another word. I think we’re all a little nervous and excited. Jackson and Hunter usher us into the bridal suite. It’s overflowing with white and black roses and a white and black bag with a card is sitting on a table in the far corner.
MacKenzie kisses Hunter and, in turn, Hunter kisses Olivia goodbye.
I take Alexis from Hailey as she goes over to the gift. She takes a seat at the little table and grabs the envelope. She spends a minute reading it and then wipes a few tears from her eyes before digging into the bag.
Hailey pulls out a pair of tear-shaped diamond earrings, a black and white diamond bracelet and another tiny bracelet for Alexis. Elle places her hands on Hailey’s shoulders. “They’re beautiful.”
“Mason has great taste.” Hailey smiles up at Elle. “I wonder where he got that from?”
Elle beams. “I don’t know, sweetheart.”
I walk over to Hailey with Alexis. Hailey’s hands are shaking so bad she can hardly unclasp it. Finally, she does and I hold Alexis’s hand out. It’s the perfect fit and matches her mommy’s.
MacKenzie pulls Hailey’s dress out of the bag and hangs it from the door. I was one of the lucky ones to see Hailey in it before anyone else and it’s just as beautiful as I remember. Sweetheart empire waist that’s black satin with white pearls and crystals in the center of her breasts giving it that cinch look, the rest is pure white with black pearls and crystals that stem from the top and fade to the bottom. It’s stunning.
A knock sounds from the door. Mom opens it just slightly so that no one can see the dress that was just pulled out.
“Hi, I’m Vi the photographer.”
Mom opens the door wider and Vi steps in. “Now that is a beautiful dress.” And just like that she gets to work.
Vi goes around the room taking different candid’s before stopping before Hailey. She holds her hand out. “Hello,
