Lisa's Wedding
Lisa did get her dress custom-made. She basically created the whole thing herself. Lisa took several wedding dresses she liked, took the different things she liked about them, and made her perfect dress. She really needs to be a designer. Kyle suggested I do something like that since I am unsure what I like or want. Lisa thought it was a great idea because it would give her another opportunity to go crazy creating another one-of-a-kind dress. I gave in, and we went wedding dress catalog shopping, which took us hours. We returned with about twenty catalogs, and my eyes started dancing after looking at dresses for over three hours. Lisa was not tired and kept looking at and tagging the ones she thought would look beautiful on me. I decided to let her do the whole thing because I knew she had exceptional taste in fashion. I know what lengths she would go to to create my dream's perfect dress.
Next thing we know, our graduation and Lisa’s wedding are coming up, and using the word excited to describe our feelings would be an understatement. Lisa’s mom and I went with her for her dress fitting, and I have to say that Lisa has way too much natural fashion design talent to become a child psychologist. Lisa will be the best-dressed psychologist of all time. Not only did her creation look a hundred percent better in person, but it looked amazing on her. Even the designer she worked with didn’t think the dress would have turned out this great. Now, I am even happier she will be creating my dress. Her mother was speechless when she saw Lisa in the dress. We could see pride written all over her face, knowing that her baby was the one who created this magical dress. Thomas is going to lose his shit when he sees her walking down the aisle.
Their ceremony and reception will take place at the castle on Long Island. The ceremony will be in the garden, which is already beautiful with many beautiful flowers. When we met up with her wedding planner at the castle, I was surprised to see five large trucks loaded with fresh flowers. It took a lot to surprise me, but I was really surprised by the number of flowers added to the garden, which was already full of flowers. I can hardly wait to see the finished product. A team of people was working on decorating the reception area, and Lisa and her mother were happy with what they saw. Her wedding colors are four different spring colors that complement each other beautifully. They were coral, blush, peach, coral sand, and navy blue. The men will be wearing navy blue suits. Each of her bridesmaids will wear a different color dress. My dress will be blush, and I will be her maid of honor.
It took two days to get the entire venue just right. The wedding party spent the night at the castle, so we had no traveling to do on the day of the wedding. We went to the garden the night before the wedding to look at the final product, and I was blown away. They had ten fifteen-foot metal wedding arbors that were used to create the aisle. The design team covered each arbor with four different colored flowers. The colors of the flowers were their wedding colors. The walkway under the arbors was also completely covered in the same four wedding colors but with rose petals. They had three hundred glass chairs for the guests. The team decorated each chair with sheer sashes that matched the wedding colors. Each chair also had its small bouquet placed into the bow on the sashes. It was really beautiful. Lisa had the exact sketch in her sketchbook. She was pleased with the job the florist and her team did.
With three hundred people invited, her wedding cake was as tall as Thomas, who was six feet tall. The cake was white with multi-colored roses cascading down the side from the top in a spiral pattern. The cake has eleven tiers, and it looks so elegant. They had a set of cake swords for the cake cutting. The reception was in a circus-sized wedding tent that could accommodate the three hundred guests. The tent's ceiling was translucent, so we could see the stars when we looked up. The tent's interior was decorated with the color scheme of the wedding. There were flowers everywhere, and the centerpieces were large and beautiful. The tables were large enough to seat ten people each. Each place setting was a work of art with crystal champagne glasses next to them. I can’t even imagine how many cases of champagne they will need for this event. There was also an oversized dance floor inside the tent. She had a team of videographers and photographers to capture everything over the twenty-four hours. Lisa’s parents didn’t care about a budget; they only wanted to make their princess happy. And it is safe to say they did just that.
They invited over three hundred guests and about one hundred staff working the venue. Surprisingly, the place was well organized, and everyone was working smoothly in sequence. Each of us bridesmaids had our own hair and makeup person, so there would be no waiting around. The wedding planner was like a soft-spoken drill sergeant who ensured everything was completed on time. She was so sweet that we couldn’t be mad at her. The day went flawlessly; every guest kept talking about how elegant and unique everything was. Every married woman there was jealous of Lisa’s dress. Her dress was the main topic of the night, and it deserved all the attention it received. Lisa's silly ass dragged her father down the aisle to get to Thomas and we all laughed at her. I didn’t know that Thomas was a crybaby like Lisa. He started crying from the moment he saw her. They made such an adorable couple. They went on their honeymoon two days after the wedding.
