Chastity honked my boobs twice. When none of the other bridesmaids did, she glared angrily at them. “Aren’t you going to compliment the bride?”
Daphne laughed and then honked my boobs twice. Everyone else followed suit. Except Madison. She honked them thrice. Which was just downright inappropriate.
“And here’s the best part,” said Chastity. She tugged on a piece of my dress and my entire skirt fell away, leaving a short skirt and a futuristic sheer hoop. “For dancing. And fucking,” she whispered so that the two young girls couldn’t hear. She winked at me.
“Ladies!” Justin shrieked at the top of his lungs.
“Justin, take a deep breath,” said Brooklyn.
“Right, yes. Thank you, goddess.” He took a deep breath and then screamed again: “Ladies! Places! It’s time!”
Rosalie walked over and squeezed my hand. “Ash, I’m so proud of you. When I saw all those gifs, I honestly couldn’t believe that was my sister.”
I cringed. “Because of all the penises?”
“Yes!” But she didn’t seem repulsed. She seemed proud. “You embraced...you. You abandoned all your fears. You’re living your best life. I’ve always looked up to you. And I just...” her eyes grew watery.
“No!” screamed Justin. “No one’s allowed to cry. Places!”
Rosalie laughed. “Okay. Good luck.” She squeezed my hand.
“By the way, I’m so sorry about Dr. Lyons drenching me on the side of the road.”Oh God. Why had I worded it that way?“And for mouth-raping him at the museum. If I’d known you two were going to end up together…”
“I don’t blame you. He’s a total hunk. And please, call him Anthony.”
I shuddered. “I could never.”
“Ladies!” screamed Justin. “I said places!”
Oh thank God for Justin interrupting.Hopefully Rosalie and I would never have to speak of that horribly awkward topic again.But I would probably kill myself if he ever came to a family event.
Rosalie gave my hand one more squeeze and hurried over to the door.
Everyone got in order as Justin pulled my poofy skirt back into place.
“You look exquisite,” he said.
“Thank you.”
Music started playing and my bridesmaids began walking out the door. The door closed behind each of them with a thud.
My heart started racing. Tanner had planned everything. But I still had vows to say. Damn it! I’d already said all the cute things in my head to him right after his proposal. Could I just...use that again? Would he notice? God, he’d probably notice.
Suddenly it was just me and the flower girls left.
“You look beautiful, Miss Ash,” said Scarlett.
Sophie nodded. “Just as pretty as Aunt Brooklyn did.”
I smiled down at them. “Thanks, girls.”
“Stop talking to the children!” Justin screamed. “The two of you, go. Hurry.” He lightly pushed them out the door.
I peeked out to see Scarlett and Sophie being the cutest flower girls.
And then I spied Tanner standing at the altar. He was wearing a colorful tuxedo and a man bun. He was finally getting to be himself. I knew the way he dressed as Ryder was more him. But Ryder was flashy, and flashy attracted DODO. But DODO no longer mattered. And I loved that he was embracing exactly how he wanted to be.
And just like that...my nerves were gone.
