It takes no time for me to be ready. Karen puts makeup on me and fixes my hair so pretty. I can’t believe it’s me in the mirror. I thought my hair looked nice when Jess and Kate took me to the salon and had it cut but Karen made it prettier.
Sally comes in; I’m surprised to see her. She smiles with tears in her eyes. “I’m so damn proud of you Tess and so happy for you. Your men asked me to hold these until today. They were meant for your wedding day. She opens a box with the most beautiful necklace, bracelet and earrings in it. I just got my ears pierced two weeks ago. It probably won’t hurt to put the new earrings in for the day.
“They are so beautiful. They already gave me a car. I only got them rings. Do I need something else?”
Sally and Karen laugh. “No Tess. They love you. They want to give you everything. They already have your Christmas present put away. Those two are going to spoil you something fierce. Let them. You missed years of gifts. They want to make up for it.” Sally says putting the jewelry on me. Everything matches the light blue stone in my ring. “Beautiful. You are so beautiful Tessa LaPonte-Karr. Everyone is waiting to see the married Tess. Hurry up in there.”
