“What are you doing right now?” I ask her, hoping to get her mind onto something else.
“I’m on my way to do my final fitting for my wedding dress. Do you want to meet me there?”
“Sure, I can do that,” I tell her as I turn the car around, going back the way I came. “I’ll see you in about ten minutes?”
“Perfect,” she says, and I can hear the sigh leave her mouth.
“Everything will be okay, no more worrying,” I tell her.
“Okay, see you soon,” she says before hanging up.
Ten minutes later, I’m walking into the dress shop and see Leia standing on the box in her wedding dress.
“You look stunning,” I whisper in awe.
“Do you like it?”
“I love it. You picked the perfect wedding dress for yourself,” I tell her, my eyes tearing up at how beautiful she looks.
I watch as her smile gets bigger, while the alterations lady is walking around her, taking everything in and looking for places for adjustments.
I sit on the couch as I watch, knowing my best friend is going to be the most beautiful bride to walk down the aisle. I thought Krista and Emily were beautiful at their weddings, but Leia is radiating sunshine in the gown.
She looks at me through the mirror, and I smile brightly at her. I am the only single one in the group left now.

“Are you sure you still want to do this? I can drive us out of here, and take you anywhere you want to go,” I tell Leia as I look at her in her wedding dress.
“Will you stop,” she says with a laugh. “There is no place I would rather be. I want to spend my life with Noah,” she tells me.
“I know. I just thought I would give you another option,” I tell her, chuckling. “Noah is a lucky man, and I hope he cherishes you every day. If he doesn’t, you better call me, and I will straighten his ass out.”
Leia walks into my arms. “I love you, big brother, but you don’t have to worry. Noah will always be good to me, and I will cherish him. He is your best friend for a reason, right?”
“Yes. I know he will love and protect you, but you will always be my little sister. The girl I always looked after and kept safe. It was my job, and now I’m being told my job is done,” I tell her.
I watch the tears form in her eyes. “Don’t make me cry,” she laughs. “You will always be my big brother, and there is nothing that will change that. I know no matter what you will always be there to protect me if I need you,” she says as the tears begin to fall.
I wipe the tears gently away, so as not to mess up her makeup. “I will, always, now let’s go get you married, shall we?”
“Yes, please,” she says as she turns back to mom. “I love you mom.”
“I love you too, baby, and you look absolutely beautiful,” mom says, tears falling down her face.
“Merry Christmas,” Leia says.
“Merry Christmas, it’s time to get you married,” I tell her.
We walk out of the room and head down to the doors of the chapel. When we get to the bottom of the stairs, mom makes her way into the chapel to take her seat, led by one of the ushers, a police officer that works with Noah.
I look at the girls standing in front of Leia, seeing Riley up front, then Krista and Emily. Before I can get a good look at Riley, the doors open, and each one begins the walk down the aisle.
The doors close behind Emily, allowing Leia and I to walk to the doors. I can hear the wedding march start.
