Keeley couldn't help but compare this rehearsal dinner to her own. Lydia's and Collin's friends and family happily laughed and chatted around the table and everyone was having a good time. Hers had seemed like yet another business function. Since not even her bridesmaids were her own choice, the only person from her side who was there at all was her dad. Both of her parents had been only children so while Keeley had some second cousins who were also taking advantage of her great-grandfather's trust, she…

All of the wedding party was perfectly silent as the wedding planner went over the ceremony draft and read the headings aloud so everyone would know what came when. The actual content was to be saved for the big day so the surprise wouldn't be ruined. "Alright everyone, file out in two straight lines. I know you'll be coming down the aisle in pairs but that's not how you'll be leaving it!" the wedding planner ordered. "Maid of Honor, hand the bride her bouquet before she goes! Walk straighter! Flower…

Lydia's wedding was on a Saturday so in order to be present for both the bachelorette party and the rehearsal she needed to leave on Thursday morning. Taking off two days of work and class would be murder to make up with only one month left of school but what could she do? Lydia was one of her best friends. She owed it to her after being such a terrible friend in her last life. She began growing apart from Lydia and Jeffrey the moment she began hanging out with Aaron at lunch. They completely lost…

Between dresses three and four, Keeley needed to go to the bathroom. She excused herself (though nobody noticed because they were too busy arguing) and wandered around the salon until she found it. On her way back, she passed another private dressing area that happened to have a bride and her mother in it. The problem was she recognized that mother—it was Pearl Knighton. Lacy burst out of the dressing room complaining loudly in a ball gown completely decked out in diamonds. "This one doesn't…

Keeley's bridesmaid dress for Lydia's wedding arrived in the mail and she stared at it in abject horror. Her wedding colors were lavender and mint green and the bridesmaid dresses had been custom-made to include both. It was a silk nightmare. Most of the dress was lavender, such as the spaghetti straps and the wraparound skirt. But the awkwardly large band that only took up the top half of the chest area and the gigantic bow with the false jewel in the middle were mint green. 'Lydia…how could…

"Um…what exactly are you planning on having me do?" Aiden asked apprehensively as he played with a picture frame on Aaron's desk. Aaron glared at him and he stopped messing with the frame immediately. His father could access this office at any time so the only picture he kept in here was one of Dinah. It still reminded him of Keeley every time he saw it because of her role in acquiring the cat. "All you really have to do is show up, stick near me, and follow my lead," he instructed. "Simple as…

Aaron was both surprised and grateful that Keeley actually agreed to have him take her home. Any extra time with her was a blessing. He had noticed she didn't want to be there from the very beginning. Once she had her fill of cake, she was more than ready to leave but he would have thought her hatred toward him would have trumped her desire to escape. It was better than nothing. The inside of the car was so silent that you could hear all of the other cars on the freeway with perfect clarity. It was…

Jennica wanted to get her wedding cake from a famous bakery about an hour away in New Jersey that had its own TV show. She and Keeley had watched a bunch of episodes together so despite the insanity of her schedule, Keeley was a bit excited about going there. She rode over with the lovebirds in Cameron's car and it the drive seemed to take years. Not only was Keeley being force fed dog food, Jennica was freaking out about which kind of fake flowers to put on the cake and other little details that would…

Aaron's phone beeped. It was an email notification that his delivery had been received, asking for him to rate the service. He quickly gave it five stars because it was what Keeley would do to help out the delivery person before setting his phone back onto the table. She was probably eating her sandwich right now. This was the least he could do for her. He hadn't taken care of her properly in their first life. Nothing would stop him from catering to her every need this time around, even the fact that…

If it wasn't bad enough that Aaron brought up getting married as if it was the obvious thing to do, he never even properly proposed. During the last semester of their senior year, he simply handed Keeley a box one day. "Here. It's about time you had this." She opened the lid and saw a whopping six carat solitaire diamond ring with a platinum band covered in little diamonds all the way around. How was she supposed to use her left hand when it was weighed down with something that big? She sighed. So…
