Chapter 346: His Idea of a Perfect Wedding Dress
"It’s your fault. I was also so scared that someone would hear or see us. We would have gotten into so much trouble…" I continued complaining.
With that, Hayden started laughing loudly. That only made me even angrier. What on earth did he find so funny about this? I was so worried and stressed out just thinking that someone might catch us while we were busy having our fun.
"What’s so funny?" I snapped as I glared at him.
"You’re funny…" he replied without a second thought.
"How am I funny?" I demanded to know.
He was the one being so careless and carefree about everything.
"Listen, Malissa. Because our wedding is coming up, the church and all surrounding areas have been booked by the Torex group for the whole week until our wedding is over. No one is allowed to enter unless they have permission. No one is going to walk in on us, ok?" Hayden said before he turned to smile charmingly at me.
What…did he just say?
"Why didn’t you tell me this? You knew all along…Why didn’t you tell me this before?" I demanded to know.
Although I already knew the answer. Once again, I was the victim of his endless teasing and stupid games. Hayden continued laughing as he kept his eyes on the road. It surprised me over and over again, how I couldn’t seem to seriously get mad at him.
…
Time was running out fast and the date of our wedding was approaching fast. Today was the day that Hayden and I would try on our outfit for the wedding day. I had absolutely no idea what Hayden had gotten tailored for me for my wedding dress.
I was curious and excited to see the dress not because I was expecting something extravagant, but I really wanted to see what Hayden thought was the perfect wedding dress for me.
When we arrived at the boutique the same store manager and her team of staffs were waiting to welcome us. Just like the other day, the boutique had been booked for the entire day so that we wouldn’t need to hurry, and it was also for security reasons.
"Wow!" I exclaimed loudly as my eyes widened and both my hands flew to cover my mouth.
The white wedding dress that the mannequin had on was so breathtakingly beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Is this really my wedding dress?
The white dress looked exquisitely beautiful without being too revealing. The dress had long sleeves and a ball gown skirt that made the waist seem very small and slim. The dress was made of sparkling fabric that made the dress sparkle in the light. The bodice of the dress was decorated with a mix of crystals and well as flowers made from silk fabric.
Matching flowers and crystals also decorated the top part of the skirt. More crystals adorn the entire length of the skirt that had a long train at the back.
"It looks magical and very princess-like, doesn’t it?" the store manager asked as she beamed a proud smile at me.
I could see why she seemed proud of the work. This dress must have taken so many people to make because of the limited time that they had on their hands. The dress was so beautiful that I thought that something as precious as this was going to be so wasted on me.
Slowly, I turned to face Hayden who also had his eyes on the dress. His blue eyes quickly shifted to my face when he noticed that I was looking at him intently.
"You like it?" he asked but I was sure that he already knew the answer to that.
"It’s too beautiful…thank you, Hayden…" I replied truthfully.
I didn’t want to know how much this dress cost or how much it weighs.
"We’ve tailored this to your measurements, but it can be adjusted based on today’s fitting so please tell me if it is too loose or too tight anywhere, ok?" the store manager said with a smile before she gestured with her hand for me to enter the changing room at the back.
"Hayden, what about your suit?" I asked.
"It has been brought over already. We have a few changing rooms so you two can change at the same time. Please, follow me this way." the store manager said reassuringly.
"Thank you so much," I quickly thanked her.
"You will need help to put your dress on. I will talk to your organizer so that they can have someone to help you on the actual day," the store manager explained.
I nodded in acknowledgment while feeling grateful for the fact that she seemed to have thought this all through for me already. After a while of waiting, the dress was brought to the changing room and a few staff had to help me get into the dress. To my utter relief, the dress was a perfect fit and I doubt that any changes had to made to the size.
What didn’t feel right with me was how heavy the dress felt when I tried to walk.
"Remember to kick the dress a little forward before you take a step to make sure that you don’t end up stepping on any of the layers…" the manager explained.
"It’s…quite heavy…" I said as I tried to turn to look behind me at the long train and the massive amount of crystal that seemed to have been sewn on.
"I know, dear, but you have to bear with it. We can remove some crystals, but the dress won’t look as impressive…" the manager said sternly.
"Was this what Hayden requested for?" I asked, feeling uncertain.
"Absolutely. You can see how pleased he looked just now," the manager replied confidently.
Right, he did look quite happy with how the dress turned out. Knowing Hayden, he probably would have yelled at the manager if the dress didn’t turn out right.
