Bride-to-be (not soon enough)

After months of tireless shopping, Julie had finally found her dream dress. It was pretty, too: high waist, satin sash, light ruffles in a full A-line skirt, simple but classic tube. She had done well, and she knew it. Fernando loved her fiercely and she knew that, too, but what if he broke up with her before the wedding? What if he called it all off at the very last minute because they couldn't decide on a piece of real estate they both liked, or because their parents didn't get along? She had already gone through one devastating breakup of that kind - the worst part was that last time, she'd never even gotten the chance to wear the gown she'd dropped a fortune on.


Well, fuck if she was gonna let that happen a second time: she'd just wear this puppy to her engagement party.
