<div align="center">******************************The Wedding*********************************</div><br/>It was the morning of the wedding and she woke with butterflies in her stomach.  It was only a few hours before the ceremony and she couldn't help but wonder what it would all be like.  She could imagine her groom all handsomely dressed and the smile that crossed her lips lit up the room.<br/><br/>Slipping from the bed, she ran a bath and then stepped in, enjoying the last few minutes of calm before the storm.  Surrounded by bubbles, she couldn't stop the small giggle that escaped, thinking of how the white foam reminded her of the layers of material that made up her wedding dress.<br/><br/>When she had finished, she stepped from the tub, dried off, and then walked into the room where those who would help her get ready waited.  She blushed a little as they set her in front of the vanity mirror and began to transform her from the typical girl next door into a fairytale princess.<br/><br/>As they finished her hair (http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll42/mkkdreams/wedding/hero_3.jpg) and her makeup, she gasped at how beautiful it all was and thanked them profusely.  But it was only part of the way done.<br/><br/>She stood from the vanity and moved to an open space in the room, looking at the dress (http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll42/mkkdreams/wedding/wedding_dress_collection.jpg) and running her fingers over one sleeve before it was whisked from where it stood and she was placed inside it.<br/><br/>Now that it was done, she was allowed to look in the full length mirror beside the door and she had to blink to keep the tears back.  It had all come together beautifully and soon she would see her groom and his reaction as well.<br/><br/>Glancing once again at the clock, she saw that there was still a wait and paced, taking deep breaths to calm her nerves.  When her friends arrived to see her, she smiled and hugged them and then sent her best friend to deliver the gift (http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll42/mkkdreams/wedding/CA-SD06-ST-large.jpg) to her betrothed.
