tears.
“What’s wrong?” Dean asked as he crossed the room and touched her shoulder.
“It’s just the feeling I get from the gown. Tears of joy, happiness, and all of that good stuff,” she told him.
“Wow,” Dean said. He looked at the gown hanging in front of him. “It’s beautiful,” he whispered.
“I know,” she replied.
They carried it downstairs and put it on the bed with the others in the spare room. “I’ll probably have to have that cleaned,” Katie said.
“You should also try it on,” Dean told her.
“You’re right. I’m going to need some help with that though, I’m sure,” she said.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know anything about that stuff,” he replied holding his hands out.
“My mom and dad are coming and staying the weekend of Thanksgiving, I’ll get my mom to give me a hand with it then,” she said.
They decided to take a walk to the park and just enjoy the nice weather they were having despite it being early in the fall. They had both seen colder Septembers on several occasions but today was a day when they could get away with wearing shorts and sandals.
While they walked, they talked about the wedding and what they would all have to do in order to get things in order and be able to get married in three months.
“Well, what can I do?” Dean asked.
“How about you look after booking the restaurant for the reception. Call them and see if it’s available and book it. It’ll be harder to find a place around Christmas time,” she said.
“I’ll do that first thing in the morning, right after you call the doctor,” he told her.
“Okay, and I’ll put a call into the church and see if it’s available for a wedding on December ninth,” she offered.
“Then what?” Dean asked.
“Then we need to find a florist, and a photographer, and you need to rent a tuxedo and we need to figure out who we want in our wedding party and…”
“Okay, I get the idea,” he said cutting her off.
Katie smiled. “Oh, and invitations will need to go out soon,” she added.
“Already?” he asked.
“Yes, they need to go out about six weeks before so that we can get reply cards back and then give a final count to the caterer,” she explained.
“This is too much work, no wonder Grace and Donald eloped,” he replied.
“They didn’t have a choice, her parents didn’t approve remember?” she reminded him.
“Oh, yeah, right, I forgot, I keep getting this whole thing mixed up,” he told her.
Katie stopped walking and looked up at him. “Thanks for being such a great sport through all of this,” she said.
Dean looked at her. “Hey, I have to admit I didn’t believe you at first but now that I’ve seen most of the proof myself, I’m a firm believer in all of that spirit stuff,” he told her. “And I still think you’re wonderful and I love you more and more with each passing dream,” he teased.
Katie laughed. “Gee, thanks, he’s only marrying me for my dreams, now I get it,” she teased back.
Dean gave her a playful swat on the bottom and they started walking home.
“Why don’t we order Chinese tonight?” Dean suggested.
“That sounds good, now that I’m hungry again,” Katie replied.
When they got back to the house, Katie went to place the order while Dean built a fire. The evening would cool off a lot and it would be nice to eat their supper in front of the fire with some romantic music playing. He wanted to celebrate with her about their wedding and their baby and planned on opening a bottle of wine when he realized she shouldn’t be drinking that anymore. He thought maybe he could find some red coloured fruit juice in the fridge that would have to be a substitute.
“It’s all ordered and will be on its way shortly,” Katie said coming back into the living room where Dean was just setting the screen back in front of the fireplace.
“Sounds wonderful, come and sit down,” he said as he rose
