Class Of 98

It is February 2009. We are getting married at the beginning of next month and we still can't believe it. "Well when we come back here you will be Mrs. Sean Makins."

"I know and I am so scared." I say closing the last suitcase. Eighteen hours later we get off of our plane to meet my family.

"Amy." Stephanie screams when she sees me. Everyone crowds around me. They all ask how are we and if we are fine. Well the first week back is a total fiasco so nothing got done for the wedding. But after that week we got in to a routine. I went to the seamstress every week to make sure the dress was fitting.

"I feel like a mannequin." I say to Melissa standing on a small stand getting the dress taken up for the last and final time. The wedding is in two weeks and it has been ruff.

"Well this is the last time. We have to meet with the director of the resort about the banquet hall, then the baker about the cake, the florist, and the caterer about the food." She says.

"What about a band?" I ask.

"That is a secret." She says.

"That is it. The dress is done. Here is the veil." The seamstress says putting the veil on my head. I turn to the mirror.

"Oh my god Melissa it is just like your sketch. I love it." I say getting off of the stool to hug her.

"Thanks. Well we have a schedule and let's keep to it." We left the seamstress with the dress and put it in to the car. We drove to the resort where the director, florist and caterer were waiting for us. The director took us around showing us the garden where the ceremony will take place.

"You will walk after the brides maids with your escorts down this path to here." He says stopping at a small gazebo. "Where you will clime the stairs to your groom and you both will descend going in the same direction to the hall." The florist describes what the bouquets will look like and how he was going to place vines of roses in the gazebo. The caterer describes how he will serve the food and in what order. After three hours there we leave to go to talk to the baker about the cake. Then we go home.

The Monday before the wedding we have rehearsal and the dinner. "I want to give Amy and Sean a toast." My uncle says. "I wish them all of the happiness in the world." Everyone drinks to that. That night I stay at Melissa's house until the wedding.

"You have been the greatest friend I could ever have." I say.

"Thanks. Now get to sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow." She says and we sleep.

We wake up early the next day and go to get my garter, and get my nails done. The garter is lacy with light blue, green and lilac ribbons going through it. So this was my new thing, and blue thing. We got back to Melissa's house at about 5:00p.m. and there are a bunch of women they're including, Kristen, Rachel, Jenny, Kim, Chris, and Maggie. Kim has short auburn hair and brown eyes, Chris has short brown/blonde hair and brown eyes, and Maggie has long brown hair and brown eyes. This was my batchluret party. It started out with a pizza and then a cake shaped in a male sexual organ. But then came the presents. All things for the wedding night.

"This is from me." Says Kristen handing me a small box.

"Thanks." I open it. In it there is a box of condoms. "Am I supposed to be getting a hint here?" I say looking at all of the gifts. Some were boxes of specialty condoms but others were nightes that left nothing to the imagination.

"Well you will like this one you are suppose to wear it on your wedding night." Melissa says handing me a rectangular box. I take it and open it.

"Melissa there is nothing in here but a red ribbon." I say.

"That is what your suppose to wear. Take the box in to the bathroom with you tomorrow night." She says. I just shake my head. The doorbell rang. "I will get it." Melissa jumps up and answers the door. Two very good looking guys in police uniforms walk in.

"Is there an Amy Showers here?" One of them asks.

"That would be me." I say.

"Then this is for you." The other says putting on a tape and start to take off the uniform, as did the other.

"Me, Kristen, Rachel, Jenny, Kim, Chris, and Maggie pitched in for this." Melissa says sitting next to me. The two stripper's strip down to there under wear but most of the guests asks for more. One of them grabs my hand and pulls me to my feet. One dances in front of me while the other dances in back. After five minutes they stop and get dressed and leave.

"Melissa, Rachel, Jenny, Chris I would have expected something like this from you three. But not you Kristen, Kim, and Maggie." I say. After an hour the guests leave except for Kim, Chris, Maggie, Jenny, Rachel and Kristen. They are staying the night. "Well this was a great party." I say getting ready for bed.

"Well beats hanging out with the family." Says Melissa.

"Yea. I just wish I could see Sean." I say walking in to the bathroom with my night things.

"It is bad luck to see the groom before the wedding." Kim says as I close the door.

"And you have had to much bad luck with him already." Chris says.

I finish dressing and walk back out. "Can I call him at lease please?" I ask.

"Yea but make it short." Melissa says handing me the cordless phone.

"Thanks." I say taking the phone and walk outside to make the phone call so that no one would listen in on it and make fun. I dial the number to the apartment that Sean and I leased.

"Hello." I hear Sean's deep voice.

"In about 14 hours you and I are going to be joined in holy matrimony and I want to see you right now so badly." I say.

"Hey at least you can finally tell your mother about our past relationship in bed." He says laughing.

"It is great to hear your voice." I say. "I had better go before Melissa and Chris starts to yell."

"I will see you walking to me to be my bride my love." Sean says. "Good night my sweet. Have only good dreams about our future."

"Good night and have good dreams about me." I say and hang up. I walk back in to the house. We stay up talking for a while. At one o'clock in the morning we finally go to sleep.
