“I’m honestly not even sure if Rob’s had a real girlfriend before.”
“Well…there you go. No psychos with guns at this wedding.”
I sighed and leaned against the vanity too. “Every time I close my eyes I hear that gunshot. You know…I thought they werefireworks. Instead of looking at James I was looking up at the sky.”
“Me too.” She grabbed my hand. “But this is Rob’s wedding. And Rob doesn’t have an insane ex-wife.”
I nodded.
“I know it’s only been a few months since your wedding, but time heals everything. Maybe by the time my wedding rolls around you won’t be thinking about that night anymore.”
“Yeah. Maybe.” I nodded, as if that would help make it happen.
“It’s okay,” she said. “You have time. I’m pretty sure Mason thinks that marriage is synonymous with babies because of you and James. And he is definitely not ready to be a father. Yet.”
I laughed.
“There’s my girl,” Bee said. “Today is going to be so fun. And what could possibly go wrong here? Ian, Porter, and Briggs have got this place locked down.”
I thought they did at our wedding too. “Isn’t there another wedding here today?”
Bee waved her hand through the air. “Apparently it’s this cute little old couple. They aren’t a threat. And their guests are sectioned off. Now come on,” she said and dragged me out of the bathroom. “The photographer should be here any minute and we need to get ready to strike a sexy pose.”
I laughed. “I’m not sure I can pull that off right now.”
Bee looked down at my stomach. “Nonsense. If you face the camera head-on you won’t even be able to tell that you’re pregnant.”
Maybe.I did have to admit that the black color was pretty slimming. And I felt sexy with the way it crisscrossed in the back. I couldn’t wait to see James drooling.
Justin strutted into the room looking like he wasn’t hungover at all. Seriously…how did he do it?
“Ladies,” Justin said and clapped his hands. “The photographer will be here in five minutes. We’ll be doing pictures of the bridal parties separately so Rob and Daphne don’t see each other before the big moment. The boys will be taking pictures outside first, so we’ll be in here.” He sat down on the couch and crossed his legs.
I loved that he was one of the girls with us. I sat down next to him, already happy to be off my feet.
“Last night was fun, huh?” he said.
“I think you probably had the best time.”
He laughed. “What can I say? I like what I like.” He started drumming his fingers on his thighs.
“Everything alright?” I asked.
“Yes, of course. I’m always just a little hyper on wedding days when there hasn’t been a rehearsal. I tried to talk them into coming down last night and doing the rehearsal with a dinner and everything. But they insisted they wanted to spend the night in the city.” He shook his head. “Now who knows what’ll happen.”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine.”
“I know. But the last huge wedding I planned was yours and it was perfect until that crazy witch ruined it. And now it’s all anyone can remember.” He pressed his lips together.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who was thinking about that. “Well, James and I did have a rehearsal and a rehearsal dinner. And it was a fiasco.”
Justin shook his head. “No, everything was perfect. But I didn’t expect the unexpected, that was the problem. Isabella ruined everything. I hate that woman. I hate her, I hate her, I hate her! I don’t know how James could have married her after everything she did. I’ll never forgive her for any of it.” He huffed.
“Everything she did? Did you know her before they got married?” I knew for a fact that Justin hadn’t planned James and Isabella’s wedding. It was one of the reasons why I’d chosen him. Well, that and the fact that he was amazing.
“What?” he asked.
“You said how could James have married Isabella after everything she did. What did she do?”
