Topic: {The Planning}

[potter_fan122]

Stacey carefully sat the heavy book down on the table. She smiled at the bartender as she sat down and he brought over a glass of water. She thanked him and took a sip of it; they were like family so he didn`t charge her for it.

She ran her hand over the wooden cover of the book. Inside, pages were separated by cardstock, fabric, and other samples. She slowly opened the book to the first page. It read "The Big Planner." Stacey sighed. She only had a year and three months to get this all together, and it had to be perfect, it was, after all, her... wedding.

The word sound funny on her tounge. Wedding. Married. Wife. She shivered, but not because she was cold. She flipped a few pages over, looking for the color samples. She looked at the clock impatiently as the minutes ticked by. Where was Aiden?

[Aiden]

Aiden quickly strolled beside Stacey, and kissed her cheek.  He sat down onto the stool.  "Sorry, I'm late."  Aiden apologized.  He looked down at the large book that Stacey had in front of. 

Aiden looked at Stacey now.  "Are you ready?"  He asked.  It was alot to think about, and to discuss.  It was already stressful as it was.  However, he didn't care if people thought badly of them, being the age they were, being engaged.  He couldn't hardly wait until the big day, and that was all that mattered.

Stacey smiled and her eyes were instantly bright blue as soon as Aiden appeared. "I`m ready." She answered. It was true, they were really engaged, they were really getting married. Even though Stacey was fifteen and Aiden was seventeen, they were perfectly happy with each other, and would always be.

She took a deep breath and turned the book to face Aiden. The page was covered with different shades of red and ivory. "I know how this looks, but it`s the tiny details that really count."

[Aiden]

Aiden looked down at the book.  "It's perfect.  Did you make it?"  He asked.  He ran his finger over the side of the book.  He flipped through a few of the pages.  He smiled, his eyes began to get light.

[potter_fan122]

"Not the book, just the samples." Stacey looked down at the book. "I need you to pick one shade of red and one shade of ivory." She asked. "It would make the rest so much easier."

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at the different colors.  He pointed to a nice looking ivory color, and a red color that would match.  "Do these work?"  Aiden asked, wondering if the would work right.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled and pulled the two colors off the page. The matched perfectly. She grinned at him. "You`re a natural." She teased and turned the page.

The page was covered with different pictures of carnation bouquets. The flowers were all different colors and shades from the lightest cream to black, and red, too. Some of the cream-colored flowers had red edges. "Pick a card, any card."

[Aiden]

Aiden continued to smile genuinely.  He looked at the different flower color variations.  How they all looked the same, but yet so different.  It was hard to choose.  "How about you pick this one."  He said, feeling confused at all the difficult decisions.

Stacey chewed her lips as she looked at the flowers. "True, after all, you don`t know what my dress looks like." She smiled at him like she was enjoying a joke. She pulled out a picture of flowers and put it with the red and ivry samples. She flipped the page.

The page was covered in suits. "This is your area, pick."

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at this page, and all the different designs.  He glanced up at Stacey, and raised an eyebrow.  "I thought we weren't supposed to see what each other was wearing?"  He pointed out with a smile.  He put his hand over Stacey's.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey squeezed his fingers. "I can see what you`re wearing, they all look practically the same to me anyway. You`re just not supposed to see what I wear."

[Aiden]

Aiden frowned, but a glow still showed in his eyes.  "Well, how about you can see my suit after I get it.  Deal?"  He asked.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey laughed. "Deal." She flipped the page again. This page was covered in pictures of the same room decorated twelve different ways. "Pick any of them, whichever you like."

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at the different color variations.  He looked at everyone one, deciding.  "That one."  Aiden said as he pointed to one that would match the colors he had picked before.

Stacey smiled and used her free hand to pull the picture off of the page. She closed the book. "Uhm, you can`t see the rest." She said with a smile. "Well, I guess there is one thing." She opened the book to a page with cardstock samples. The different samples had shades from pure white to the yellowest cream. "You know the drill."
