Alphas Broken Mate
Chapter 85

Catalina's POV

Rachel, Flora, Sarah, and I go through every single step of the wedding. Don't worry I protested for Andrew to be part of the planning, but I was significantly over ruled. We plan for a wedding for three weeks from now. Flora is getting the invitations out as soon as possible. We finalized the guest list, and apparently the whole world is coming to this wedding. I have never seen so many names for one event in my whole life. We picked the colors and the venue. All that is really left is picking the wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses. I obviously picked Rachel to be my maid of honor. I also picked Cassie from Emerald Stone pack and Sarah from Red Stone pack as my bridesmaids. I wanted to keep my wedding party small.

Today my wedding party is going dress shopping and I'm excited to find my dress.

"Ready to go?" Rachel asks me.

"Yeah, let's do this." I say and we head down to the lobby. Cassie and Sarah meet us in the lobby.

"You guys I'm so excited! This is finally happening!" Sarah says.

"I'm just happy to get a little break from Shiloh. He's adorable but a handful." Cassie says.

"I'm actually really excited too you guys. And I'm glad everyone can make it." I say.

"Flora is meeting us at the shop." Rachel says as we all pile into the limo. Rachel pours us all a glass of champagne, and apple juice for her.

"A toast!" She says.

"To our girl Lina. Life has been anything but boring since you've come into our lives and we wouldn't have it any other way. I know you and Andrew will live happily ever after. And I am so grateful to be a part of your big day." Rachel holds her glass of sparkling apple juice up.

"To true love."

"TRUE LOVE!" Everyone clinks glasses. We sip on our champagne as Cassie tells us all about her adorable baby as we make our way to the shop. When we arrive we head inside where Flora is waiting for us. "Ladies!" Flores kisses each one of us on the cheek.

"Now Lina. There are a few dresses back there waiting for you already. Go try some on and we will see how everything looks and fits." Flora says gesturing to a curtained area. I head to the curtain and peek inside. There are 4 dresses and a young woman waiting for "High Alpha." She bows.

me.

"Which one would you like to try on first?" She asks. The first dress looks like a cake topper. It is covered in bows and ribbons. Tulle making the dress look huge.

"Not this one." Earning me a giggle from the girl. The next dress in like the complete opposite. It is a simple silk floor length dress.

"Maybe." I say for that one. It might be too simple. The third dress has a off the shoulder lace top and lace overlay. It is floor length and has quarter sleeves.

"This one." I say. The young lady nods and helps me get dressed. The dress is off white which actually goes perfect with my red hair and pale skin. Can wedding dress shopping really be this simple? Did I already find THE dress? I stand there staring at myself in the mirror. They young girl looks at me and then leaves the curtain area. I know I'm suppose to go out there for everyone to see, but I don't want them to talk me out of this dress. The lace on the sleeves and top are so beautiful, this dress is perfect. The only alteration it would need is the length. It's a little bit too long. The young girl comes back with three veils. One had the same lace pattern as the dress but not the same color. The second one was long and sparkly. The third one was attached to a diamond headband. "Let's try this one." The young girl says after holding up each one, next to my dress to compare. She landed on the one with the headband. Once she put it on, I knew we have found exactly what we were looking for.

"What do I do? This is obviously the dress, but it's the first one I've tried on." I say to the young girl.

"How about this. We wrap this dress up and have it sent over after we make a few alterations. In the mean time try on these other ones and show them. Later tell them you have found your dress but it's a surprise for everyone." The girl has a good plan. No need to spoil all their fun, they came to see dresses and that's what I'll show them. For the next two hours I tried on every dress they wanted, none looked as good as the first dressed I tried. We left the store without a dress, but I wasn't worried.

Over the next few weeks, everything comes together for the wedding. I told the girls I found my dress and wanted to surprise them, Rachel was a little concerned but trusts me. It's now two days before the wedding and I'm trying not to make myself nervous. I'm not nervous about being married, I'm nervous at the amount of people coming in for the wedding. We are having an rehearsal dinner tonight and a bachelorette and separate bachelor party tomorrow night, then the wedding. "You ok my love?" Andrew asks at lunch.

"I'm fine just a lot going on in my mind." I say.

"You aren't getting second thoughts, are you?"

"Not at all. I'm just looking forward to the part where we are married and living our lives." I say.

"Me too. But I am excited to see everyone again under happy circumstances."

"Yeah, that will be nice." I say as I finish my sandwich.

"What else do you have planned today?" I ask Andrew

"We have 4 hours before the rehearsal and then we have the rehearsal dinner. The councilmen are coming in an hour, so just greeting them and the other guests." Councilmen Eric is performing our wedding ceremony. "Rachel wants me to look over the decorations in the great hall." I say.

"Why don't you go take a look and when you are done meet me in the lobby for our guests."

"Alright sounds like a plan." I give Andrew a kiss and we head out the apartment. We go down the elevator and I head to the great hall while Andrew starts talking to some people in the lobby. When I walk through the door my breath catches in my throat, I'm glad I'm seeing this before the rehearsal. The great hall looks like a large wooden cabin, a lot of exposed wood, and wooden ceiling rafters. There are four large chandeliers wrapped in green vines and white fabric and little lights draped across the rafters. Everything looks magical. The colors I picked were navy blue, maroon, and green. There are round tables around the room, the table cloths are white and have maroon plates and blue napkins. They had skinny navy blue candles and in the middle was a bouquet of maroon, plum, and white flowers. The alter is a beautiful arch covered in maroon, white, and pink flowers and vines going up and around it. I never imagined my wedding would look this beautiful. As I walk through the room my eyes kept finding new things to geek out over. Everything is so beautiful.

"Lina!" Rachel says, not as excited as usual.

"Are you ok?" I ask.

"This morning sickness is no joke. There's no reason it's called morning sickness when it ALL DAY. But I'll be fine." She leads me back to the alter.

"What do you think? More flowers? Or should we weave lights through it?"

"Honestly I think it look perfect. Everything looks so good Rachel."

"Let's go look at the bride and groom table, it's not done yet and it definitely needs something." She leads me to a two person table on a small platform. The bottom front of the table was covered in maroon, plum, white, and pink flowers. Behind the table was a curtain of lights and a few flowers. The table cloth was navy blue with a gold runner.

"Seriously Rachel, what more could a girl want?"

"Well for starters, red or white candles?"

"White."

"Ok, do you want a Mr. and Mrs. sign anywhere? We can put it on the back of the chairs, front of the table, or back on the wall."

"What color is the sign?"

"Gold."

"Let's put it on the wall." I say.

"Perfect. Well add more flowers and the sign. See it did need more." I roll my eyes.

"Whatever you say Rachel."

"Anything else you want to look at or change?" She asks.

"Rachel everything looks beautiful and I never imagined my wedding would look like this. I am beyond grateful for you and everyone that has helped." I pull her into a hug.

"Oh honey of course. You deserve it." We pull back from our hug.

"So who all knows you are pregnant. I don't want to accidentally spill the beans."

"Well you, Andrew, Murphy of course. But that's pretty much it. We wanted to wait until after the wedding to tell his parents. His mom would be all over me as soon as she finds out. I need time before I'm watched like a hawk." We laugh at each other. "What's so funny girls?" Sara, Rachel's mother-in-law asks.

"Nothing." We both say at the same time, making us both laugh again.

"Well I am going to go help Andrew greet our guests and get ready for the rehearsal tonight. I'll see you then." I hug Rachel again and head to the lobby.
