married four weeks from today. I send Cole a text.
    Four weeks from today you
are marrying me. UR so lucky!!
    Up until now, it seemed like time was
dragging on, and now I feel like time is flying. I drag a few
folded boxes from the hall closet and tape them together. I manage
to get two boxes started before Sienna finally texts me back.
    Need to figure something out. They are
insisting on matching dresses. Had to text Abby.
    Crap! I better get dressed and head to
Alexa’s. I can’t leave Sienna to deal with this all by herself.
    When I arrive at Alexa’s I find Sienna,
Ellie, and Stephy in a sea of gowns. There is every color and every
style you could ever imagine. I can tell by the looks on Sienna’s
and Jennie’s faces that they are frustrated. Very frustrated.
    “Hi, ladies. What’s going on?” I ask when I
walk in.
    “Madie! I’m so glad you are here,” Stephy
yells. “Which dress?” She holds up two very pretty dresses. “We’ve
been trying to tell Sienna that it’s imperative that we all match.
Think about it, your wedding is at the Four Seasons. If we don’t
match it will look tacky and thrown together, and we just can’t
have that.”
    “You’re the first of us to get married. You
need to make this perfect for Grandmother,” adds Ellie.
    I glance at Sienna, and she raises her
eyebrows.
    “Whatever you guys want,” I say, shrugging my
shoulders. “The dresses are beautiful, and if you girls want to
wear them, I have no problem with that. I did tell Sienna and Abby
that they could pick out their own gowns, so that is up to
them.”
    I think my answer could not be more
perfect.
    “Well, I already spoke to Abby and sent her a
picture and she is fine with it so . . .” She looks at Sienna.
Obviously, she is the holdout. I really don’t think she cares what
she wears other than the fact that she doesn’t want to give in to
Ellie’s demands. However, I know her well enough to know that she
too would be wearing one of these dresses in the end.
    “Fine,” she reluctantly agrees.
    “Fantastic!” exclaims Stephy. “Jennie, let’s
get these measurements, and we will have to rush them. We are down
to four weeks.” She hurries off with Jennie talking a mile a
minute.
    “Sorry,” I whisper to Sienna.
    “It’s fine; Abby made a good point. The gowns
are really pretty, and we want to make your day as perfect as
possible even if that means giving in to the stepsisters’
demands.”
    “OK. Now that we have that worked out.” Ellie
rushes back. “Let’s talk about the shower. Do you have a date?”
    “Um, yes we do,” Sienna says cautiously.
“It’s in two weeks, and we are having it at the Korral House.
Everything is pretty much done and invites are going out this
week,” she adds. Just then, her phone rings, and she picks it up on
the first ring. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so excited to
take a phone call.
    “Oh. Well, what about the bachelorette party?
I think a trip to Vegas is necessary, don’t you think? I have a
friend at the Bellagio.” Ellie grabs her phone and starts looking
through her contacts. “I can call him right now and get it
scheduled.”
    I really was hoping this subject wouldn’t
come up. Sienna, Abby, and I were planning a quiet spa weekend
before I asked the stepsisters, and now I have no idea how I’m
going to get out of this.
    “That’s really sweet, Ellie, but we haven’t
really planned anything just yet other than the possibility of a
spa weekend somewhere. Honestly, I’m not sure if I will even have
the time for a trip; the big day will be here before we know
it.”
    “What?” she exclaims. “That’s insane. You
need to have a girls’ weekend before your wedding. One last weekend
before you’ll be the little wife.”
    “That’s funny, but I don’t think anyone would
think of me as a little wife.”
    “You know, Madie, your fiancé travels quite a
lot. Aren’t you ever concerned about that? He’s gone a lot,” she
says
