Ashley~
Finally back home after a six month tour, it was fun and all but I had a wedding to plan. I sat in the living room with my laptop in my lap and Jenna and katelynne on my sides.
“These pictures came out so good” Jenna squealed.
The day Tony proposed, Adam was there snapping pictures without me noticing. There were pictures from me getting the envelope and running into Tonys embrace. Then there were pictures from the restaurant to the walk to the tower. And of course when he got down on one knee and proposed. These pictures were amazing, I’m so happy he told Adam to take the pictures.
“I love how the Eiffel tower is in the background” Katelynne pointed at the screen.
“Me too, it’s perfect”
“I say you use all of these, and they could be the ending part of the PowerPoint” Jenna gestured to the photos that appeared on the screen.
“I agree, it completes the whole, your life with Tony thing” Katelynne smiled.
“Okay, lets pick the ones for the beginning of the PowerPoint”
“The one you have as your screen saver!” Jenna held up my phone.
“Yeah, isn’t that when you guys actually first met?”
I smiled; they seemed just as excited as me. “Yeah it is, and will start with that one”
We were making the PowerPoint for the wedding, it was gonna have all kinds of pictures of me and Tony. I had asked them to help because I did make them my bridesmaids, and they wanted to help with everything. I was gonna ask Mike to be my maid of honor but Tony had already asked him to be a best man. Plus Tony thought that’d be weird. I choose my mom as maid of honor, why? Because shes been there for me more than anyone else, so It only made since to have her be it. I smiled to myself as I flipped through the photos of me and Tony over the past years.
“That one!” Jenna pointed at the photo Jaime took. It was me asleep on top of Tony on their bus, the first day after I partied with them.
“Of course this one” I said as I dragged the photo to the folder that said wedding.
I flipped it to the next one and it was of me and Tony fighting with light sabers.
“I brought taco bell” Tony said as he walked through the door.
I put the laptop in Jennas lap and went for the taco bell bag. Tony put it up higher, making me jump for it. “You suck! With your tall fullness!”
“Babe I don’t even think that’s a word” He laughed as he brought the bag down.
I snatched the bag out of his hands “It’s a word to me” I stuck my tongue at him and walked back on the couch between Jenna and Katelynne.
He laughed and took a seat next to Jenna “I thought you’d guys be done with this” He looked down at the laptop.
“We just need the beginning pictures” Jenna looked over to him.
“You have to use this picture” He said looking at the picture that stood there.
“Our star wars fight, duh! It’s one of our best memories” I grinned at him.
“I say were done, I’m freaking starving!” Katelynne reached into the bag.
“I second that” Tony raised his hand in the air.
“You weren’t even doing anything” I smirked.
“I bought you taco bell didn’t i?”
I rolled my eyes and handed him his bean and cheese burrito, and grabbed myself a taco. We sat there and talked for a little bit, Katelynne and Jenna keep giving me and Tony suggestions for the wedding. Lets just say, they weren’t our style. They weren’t bad ideas, they just seemed more them, not us.
“Well I better get going, Ash you better be ready tomorrow” Katelynne got up from the couch and looked at me.
“Yes mother, I know, nine o’clock” I rolled my eyes and she just laughed.
“I think ima get going to, I’ll meet you guys at the dress shop tomorrow” Jenna said as she got off the couch.
“Okay” I said before taking a bite of my taco.
Katelynne and Jenna gave us a hug and left the house, leaving me and Tony alone. I reached in the bag to grab the last taco, when Tony quickly snatched the bag.
“Damn it Tony!”
“Your gonna get fat, no more tacos” He grinned at me.
“I don’t care; give the taco so I could be forever fat!” I reached for the bag but he had his hands out keeping me from it.
“Ashley”
“Tony give me the Taco” I glared at him.
“And if I don’t?” he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows.
“Do you really want me to answer that?”
He stood quiet for a moment and then got up from the couch. “Yeah I do”
“Oh ima get you now”
“Come at me baby”
And with that I was off the couch, he laughed and ran to the room. I chased after him but got a door to the face. I banged on the door and yelled for him to give me the taco. I could hear him laughing on the other side of the door. I thought for a moment and then went into the kitchen and grabbed a bucket and filled it up with water. I walked back to the door and waited for him to open it. I keep quiet so he’d think id completely given up. Within a minute or two he unlocked the door; I smiled and got ready to throw the water in his face. He opened the door and I throw the water at him, he was instantly drenched from head to toe.
“Really babe?”
“Don’t you keep me from my taco, you should know this already” I was laughing at the look on his face.
He grinned and gave me an evil look. “You asked for it”
Oh shit. I throw the bucket and ran, but slipped on the water and fall on my ass. He busted out laughing, as I sat there. I started laughing too, I was trying to picture how that looked when I fell. Probably really ridiculous. Tony stretched out his arm and helped me up. I looked at him and winked at me and quickly throw me over his shoulder.
“Ugh why do you guys always to this to me!”
“You love it!” He started walking, I think into the kitchen.
Then I heard the sliding door open, oh I knew exactly what he was thinking.
“Tony if you throw me in the pool ima kill you”
He laughed and tossed me in. I hit the water and was surrounded by coldness. I swam back up to see Tony holding his stomach laughing.
“I dislike you very much”
His laughing was finally coming to a stop and he looked down at me “I love you”
“Jerk”
“Come babe”
“Help me out” I looked up at him.
He shook his head no “I’m not stupid babe”
I rolled my eyes “Then I’m not coming out” I said crossing my arms.
“Okay” He smiled and started walking back toward the house.
“Tony!”
He turned around and ran and jumped in. Splashing right next to me. He swam back up and shook his hair so that all the water could get in my face. I slapped his arm and he just laughed. He put his hands on my waist on pulled me closer to him. I couldn’t be mad at that gorgeous face. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
“You sure you still wanna marry me?” He joked.
“I’m thinking about it” I joked but he pushed me away. “I’m just kidding, I’m just kidding” I giggled.
He turned around and kissed me. “I know”

---

“Babe, your phone is ringing”
I put the pillow on top of my head and tried to ignore both Tony and the phone. Tony pulled the pillow off my head and rested his head next to mine.
“Katelynnes gonna kill you if you’re not ready” He looked still half asleep.
“Do I have too?”
“Yeah, unless you want your wedding dress to be a trash bag”
“That’s not a bad idea, your suit could be a trash bag too” I let out a little laugh at how weird that’d be.
“Oh yeah babe, we could get married in a junk yard too, it’d be perfect” He said sarcastically.
I laughed and throw the covers off me. I looked back at him and smiled. He had both his hands behind his head and the covers were half way up his body, showing his colorful chest. I bite my lip as I looked down at him.
“Babe, stop picturing me naked”
“Aren’t you naked already?” I winked at him.
He shook his head “Get ready babe”
I laughed and headed over to my drawer and pulled out pair of shorts and a tank top. I was wearing nothing but my bra and panties. I felt eyes on me as I put on the shorts. I turned around to see Tony biting his lip as he layed there. I pulled the tank top over my head and grabbed my brush.
“Stop being a creeper” I brushed my hair out of the knots it was in.
“Never” He winked at me.
I went over to the bed and throw the pillow at him. He laughed just watched as I finished getting ready. I looked in the mirror, my hair was in small waves and my faced looked sleepy. I went over to the bathroom and washed my face. I grabbed the towel next to me and dried myself. I put on little makeup, eyeliner and mascara, and left my hair down. I went back over to the bed and slipped on my black toms.
“That was fast” Tony said from behind me.
“I’m being lazy”
“I figured, but you still look beautiful”
I reached for my phone and looked at the time, Katelynne should be coming anytime now. I turned back to Tony and gave him a small kiss. “Thank you”
“Five minutes later” He grinned.
“Shhh, go back to sleep” I put my finger to his lips.
He laughed and licked my finger. I pulled my hand back and wiped it on the blanket. “Gross!”
“You know you like it” He winked.
My phone rang before I could reply to Tony. I looked down to see Katelynne name flashing on the screen.
“Hello?”
“I’m outside, come on get your butt out here” She sounded excited.
I laughed “On my way” and with that we both hung up.
“Well I’ll see you later, have fun looking for a tux with the guys” I gave him a kiss and got up from the bed.
“I’m really liking the trash bag idea now” Tony said as I walked over to the door.
I turned around “You’re a dork”

I got in the car and Katelynne looked at me. “Is your mom meeting us there?”
“Yeah” I said putting the seatbelt on.
She nodded and then pulled out of the drive way. Katelynne was taking me to the dress store where she got her dress. I was pretty excited, her dress was beautiful. Then I started to think, what if I can’t find the perfect dress. Man I was really starting to sound like such a girl. We pulled up to the store and walked in to see my mom and Jenna sitting there having a conversation.
“Hi mom” I greeted her with a big hug.
“Hi mamas” She sounded excited.
She teared up when I told her how Tony proposed to me. She then told that she knew he was gonna propose, everyone knew except me. I laughed at the thought. Katelynne was talking with some lady in a suit.
“This is the bride” Katelynne smiled gesturing to me.
“Well nice to meet you” She put out her hand.
“Likewise” I smiled and shook her hand.
“Well you ladies ready to get started?” She grinned.
“Yes!” They all said, I simply just nodded.
“Okay ladies you take a seat here, Ashley come with me” She gestured to the couch for them and then for me to go with her to the back.
I smiled and followed her. We went into a room full of dress of all kinds, and it was all white. Duh, it was a bridal store. I shook my head at the stupid thought of mine and watched as she pulled out a dress.
“What do you think of this one?” She held it up for me to see.
It was a really puffy dress, it reminded me of princesses. It had jewels all over the top and the bottom just stood there all puffy. It was an ugly dress.
“I’m not a huge fan of puffy dresses” I said trying not to sound rude.
She nodded and put the dress back and went to the other side of the room. She looked through the dresses and then smiled and pulled out another. This dress was definitely not what I was looking for. It was long sleeved and had a turtle neck. Yeah I know Tony loves turtles but no way in hell am I gonna wear a turtle neck. It was also laced in the worse places, it didn’t make since. I shook my head no and she put the dress back. She started looking and again and once again pulled out another dress. This dress was okay, it was a high low dress. It was heart shaped and tight at the top and flowly at the bottom. It was pretty, but I still wanna see more.
“Could we hold onto this one?”
She smiled “Of course” She throw it over her arm and went back to scanning through.
Ten ugly dress and two pretty dress later and I was finally in the dressing room trying on three dresses I thought were okay. The first dress I put on was the heart shaped one, I zipped it up and looked in the mirror. It was okay, I guess. I opened the door and the lady led me to the girls. As soon as they saw me they started whistling.
“I really like it” Jenna smiled.
“it’s cute” Katelynne looked me from head to toe.
“Its okay” My mom had her head tilted to the side. She knew when I didn’t like something, she knew exactly what I’d like and if i didn’t like this dress I was for sure that she didn’t. I was just telling myself that it was nice, which it was but it just wasn’t me.
“What do you think of it Ashley?” The lady smiled at me. “I think it looks great on you”
Of course she would say that, she probably tells thousands of girls the same thing even if it doesn’t look good.
“I don’t care for it”
She nodded and then led me back to the dressing room. I slipped on this mermaid style dress. This one wasn’t that bad, it made my body look extremely good. I examined myself some more in the mirror, yeah I looked great but it still wasn’t me. I opened the door and went back over to the girls.
“Id would go lesbian for you if you wear that dress for the rest of your life!” Jenna winked at me.
“Your body looks amazing in that dress, it looks really good” Katelynne smiled.
“It’s nice, but I think you should keep looking” My mom said as she scanned it up and down.
I nodded and went back to the dressing room to try on the last dress I picked. This one was simple, it flowed over my body nicely and it was really nice. I liked it only because of the comfort if brought me, but as I looked it in the mirror it just looked so boreding. I opened the door and the lady smiled. We walked over to girls.
“I like the mermaid one better” Jenna said as she crossed her legs.
“I agree with Jenna” Katelynne said checking me out.
“Keep looking babe, theres gotta be a better dress” My mom had her arms crossed. Yeah she was my mother, we think exactly alike.
I looked over at the lady “May I look at some more?”
She nodded and led me back to the dressing room so I could get out of that dress. I took off the dress and put my clothes back on. I opened the door and followed her back to the room of dresses. We stood there for a good thirty minutes, she looked frustrated. Dress after dress, ruffles on this, ruffles on that, ruffles everywhere. Too long, too short, too much jewels and orange? No! Where did orange come from?
“How about this one” She said.
Another puffy dress, itd be perfect if I wanted to be a ballerina. I shook my head no. She let out a sigh and put the dress back on the rack.
“Hey Stacy, we got three new dresses in” A man with a pink suit walked in with dresses in his hands.
I finally found out her name, she didn’t mention it earlier. She also could have asked what type of dress I would like too, she’s not too good at this. I know I’m mean, but it’s true.
“Thank you” She took the dresses out of his hands and he walked out.
She examined the dresses and put two of them on the rack and held up one.
“This one seem perfect for you”
She was right, this dress was beyond gorgeous! I needa to try it on.
“It’s beautiful!”
She smiled in relief and led me back to the dressing room. I slipped into the dress and looked in the mirror. Wow, this was the dress. It was so perfect, I needed this dress. I opened the door and Stacy smiled. “This is the dress” She said as she looked me over.
“Yeah, i love it”
She nodded “Let see what the ladies think”
We went over to the the girls and I swear all their mouths dropped to the floor when I entered the room.
“Okay this dress is the winner!” Jenna said making a ding ding sound.
“This one is so you!” Katelynne stood up.
“That’s the dress” My mom nodded in approval.
I smiled at them “Yeah I think so too, so could I buy this now?” I looked over at Stacy who had a huge smile on her face.
After paying for the dress we headed out to get something to eat. We talked about the dress and how Tony is gonna go crazy over it and blab blah.
“Okay Ash, if you don’t like cake what are you gonna serve at your wedding?” Katelynne asked before taking a bite of your French fry.
“Cheese cake” I put my fork in the air, why? I don’t know.
“I should have known” Jenna laughed.
“Ill still have cake but that’d be for you guys, that way I could have the cheese cake to myself” I grinned.
“Fatass” My mom smirked.
“Yes! If I don’t finish it, which a probably won’t, ill save the rest for later”
“What are we gonna do with you” Katelynne smiled and shook her head.
“Love me and never leave me” I gave her a small smile.
“Your also gonna have tacos as your main dish huh?” Jenna looked up from her plate.
“Yes, don’t your judge me” I pointed my fork at her.
They just laughed and we all finished our meals.
My mom was gonna hold onto the dress until the day of the wedding. Because I feel like I’d be too tempted to show Tony the dress.
Katelynne pulled up to my house and I thanked her for everything. She smiled and I got off the car and watched her drive away. Tonys car was in the drive way, so he must be home. I opened the door to see the guys all on the couch yelling at the screen. They were playing some game on the Xbox. I laughed and headed over to the kitchen.
“Hey Ash”
I looked over my shoulder to see Vic standing there. I forgot, he wasn’t a big fan of video games.
“Hey Vic, bored?” I grabbed out a water bottle. “Want one?”
“Yeah and no thank you”
I shut the refrigerator and took a seat at the table. Vic followed and took a seat across from me.
“How did the tux shopping go?”
“Good, we got done in an hour. What about you?”
I let out a groan and rolled my eyes.
He chuckled “It was that bad?”
“Yes, ugh”
“Did you find one though?”
“Yeah after like hundred dresses” I ran my hand through my hair.
“I’m glad I’m not a girl” he laughed.
“Wait you’re not a girl” I gave me a questionable look.
He rolled his eyes “No”
I got up and pretend to be mad, but I couldn’t keep my serious face and started laughing. “I was gonna make you my flower girl” and sat back on the chair.
He started laughing and shaking his head “Ill make one badass flower boy” he winked at me.
I shook my head and took another drink of my water.
“Hey babe” Tony gave me a kiss on the forehead and went into the fridge.
“I just remembered, you still owe me a taco from yesterday”
All the guys started laughing. Mike and Jaime were barely walking into the kitchen when I said that.
“What?” I looked at them, really confused at what was going on.
“I told the guys about yesterday, and they betted to see if you’ll bring it up today” Tony smiled and leaned against the counter.
“Pay up” Mike put out his hand to Jaime and Vic.
“You and Tacos man” Jaime shook his as he handed Mike a five dollar bill.
“You should know by now that I love tacos” I grinned.
After that we all headed back to the living room and put on a movie.
