Chapter Six

“Coming here so soon might’ve been a mistake,” I said to Blake once we were out of hearing range.

“They’ll have to adjust to it,” Blake answered.

“Perhaps you should’ve given them some warning.”

“No amount of warning would’ve done any good. They wanted me to marry a woman who came from money but the heart wants what the heart wants.”

I paused as we walked up neatly painted stairs. Why they had been painted white and not allowed to let the natural uniqueness of the hardwood show was beyond me.

“Are you sure I shouldn’t go to a hotel?” I asked.

Blake looked to me, “You’re our guest. Guests don’t have to stay in hotels. Besides, we have planning that we need to do.”

I had forgotten about the wedding due to the displeasure of Blake’s family. I had the feeling it would be just my family attending the dress fitting and everything that went with it.

“How soon are we planning on getting married?” I asked.

“Soon,” Blake answered.

“How soon is soon? I have to get a dress we need a cake and—”

Blake smiled patiently at me. “Don’t worry about it. We’ll find a way to make it all work out. Tomorrow you can get your mother and sister to help you pick out a dress.”

The spiteful part of me wanted to get a dress at a second hand shop just to rub it in the faces of Blake’s brother and sister-in-law. I knew not all wealthy people were so snobby and judgmental but the temptation was just so overwhelming.

“They’re going to judge and let them. The only people they’re hurting are themselves,” Blake said.

I wish I was as easily convinced. In-laws could easily wreak havoc with relationships and I knew they could do so just as easily. Blake was bound and determined that nothing bad would happen so I did my best to stay positive for him.

The next morning my mom and sister came to pick me up to go dress shopping. I had made arrangements to meet them elsewhere so they could not be scrutinized by Blake’s family.

“So when do we meet this Blake?” Mom asked.

“Soon, I hope.”

“Trouble in paradise?” My sister guessed.

“It’s trouble with the in-laws. They’re incredibly judgmental and don’t like it that I’m not one of them.”

“It’s their loss. At least you two will be away from them.”

I paused, “You two don’t disapprove?”

Mom stopped me before I could say something else, “You’re my daughter and I want you to be happy. Having a son-in-law will take some getting used to but that doesn’t change who you are.”

For the first time in what felt like a long time I threw my arms around Mom and hugged her tightly. Having someone’s support meant so much to me.

After a few minutes my sister spoke up, “How about dress shopping?”

“The dresses here are so expensive I was thinking about the second hand shop. I’m sure there’s plenty of pretty dresses available there for a cheaper price.”

“Practical to the end.”

“I’m only going to be wearing it
