the phone.
    Eric was smiling at me.  I think he was trying not to laugh, but he couldn’t help it.  I told him to go on back downstairs and wait for me.  I was going to call another one of my friends and I don’t think he could handle another screaming fit.  He would die laughing over it. 
    Eric shut the door behind him, but I could hear him laughing all the way down the stairs.  It must just be a guy thing.
    I called Beth and went through the same fit that Jasmine had given me.  Only this time it was longer and louder.  Thank goodness, I’m a very patient person.  She agreed to come straight over and be measured for her dress.
    I closed the phone and hoped that they would both be over all the dramatics by the time they got here.  Hurrying downstairs, I went to pick out their dresses before they got here. 
    This part was not hard.  I picked a tasteful style, floor length of course.  The color was a rich deep purple.  My mother recommended adding a slight shimmer to the fabric.  “I agreed.  That would be so beautiful.”
    My friends arrived a few minutes behind Damien and Jared.  Which was good because that gave me some time to finish calming them down so they wouldn’t fidget when the woman went to measure them.
    Damien and Jared stood like statues while the tailor measured their arms.  Eric couldn’t help but to laugh at them.  His laughter spread like a wildfire and the boys lost all control, leaving the tailor to wait until they could compose themselves long enough to finish.
    After everyone was finished with the measuring, the tailor and dress fitter explained that they needed to watch and not gain or lose any significant weight due to the timeline we were working with.  None of them seemed to be worried about that.
    Several hours passed as we finished going over every minor detail.  The only thing left was my dress.  I was stupefied.  I had no idea what I wanted, or what would even look right on me.  Mom always handled that for me.
    “Don t worry Bailey. That’s what she is for.”  Mom said pointing at the dress fitter, Mary.
    I apologized and laughed nervously.  Mary asked me to accompany her upstairs to work out the details for my dress.  Mom and Amy followed.  I was thankful for that.  I needed all the help I could get.
    The wedding planner, whose name I hadn’t quite caught, took our friends to the side to talk about the things they needed to do.  I overheard some of it on my way up the stairs.
    Amy led us into the office room at the top of the stairs.  It was big enough for us to all fit in comfortably. 
    Mary laid a bridal gown book in front of me on the desk.  I was stunned at the size of it.  There was no way I would be able to make up my mind if I looked at all the dresses in here.  I looked up at Mary with a look that prompted her to ask questions.
    “Do you have an idea of what you might want?”  She asked politely
    I told her that I didn’t have any earthly idea where to start and explained that my mother had always picked out any formal wear that I needed.  I was always very pleased with her selections. 
    With that in mind, she picked up the book and gave it to my mom.  I watched as the three of them flipped through page after page until deciding on four gowns for me to look at.
    I didn’t like the first one at all.  It was to antique looking for my taste.  The second one was plain looking.  The last two they showed me was extravagant.  Choosing between them was going to be difficult.
    I studied each detail of the dresses comparing each one to the other and finally came to a decision.  One of the dresses looked exactly like something out of a fairytale, Cinderella to be specific.  The difference was this one had long sleeves and didn’t have any color on it except white.  I requested that she used purple on it in some way or another.  “Maybe a ribbon going down the front or something like that.”
    Mary nodded and said, “I know exactly what
