The Gift from your Father

My mom goes over and brings the box over for me and sits it in my lap. It seems to be a very expensive box, made of wood with a gold inlay. Opening up I gasped, there was a necklace inside. Not just any necklace but one of the gaudiest necklaces I have ever seen. It was diamonds, or what looked like diamonds connected with what looks like gold inbetween holding it all together. There is a note that says "I just want you to look like a princess today" from your father.

I lift it out and notice two diamond earings underneath. Putting it back in the box I look around the the rest of the room and they are just completely stunned at the shockingly expensive looking necklace.

"Oh my god you have to put that on" Candice says practically jumping up and down she is so excited. "That will look like totally awesome on you."

"I agree! I agree! you totally have to try it on" Jennifer said joining in with you older sisters.

"Listen to Candi and Jenni" Your mom says. "Lets see how it looks on you.

I stare at the necklace and then say "No, Im not wearing this. It is expensive and I guess that is nice but I am not trying to look like some princess. I am not a little girl. I am a woman, and you all need to understand that." I say as I am about to put it away.

"Why don't you just try it on for a minute." Your mom says her voice softening as she puts her arms around you. "I know your father can seem like he is hard on you and doesn't understand you, but he does care and he is trying."

I suddenly felt guilty. She is right. My father may be a pain in the ass but this clearly shows he cares. "Ok. I'll try it on for a second." My mother picks up the necklace and places it around my neck. I look in the giant mirror at myself in the big necklace and must admit, it does look good on me. Like really good. Maybe I should wear it.

"So what do you think?" Asks Candice.

"Maybe I can just wear it for a little bit longer" I say as I blush a little bit.

"Thats the spirit, honey" my mom says as Channel steps up and remarks "Lets get some makeup on you.

The makeup application went well, although I did have to reel Channel back a bit. After that Jennifer handed me a glass of wine, even though John and I promised not to drink before the ceremony.

By the time Channel was done with my hair several hours had passed and I was still wearing the necklace. I know I had been unsure about it before but now I was completely convinced that it was amazing. I guess my dad has great taste. I was on my third glass of wine by this point and was feeling a little buzz, nothing too much though. My mom and sisters were taking turns in the chair and helping each other get their hair and makeup done as Channel was spending all her time trying to get my hair right. It had been tough, and I had tried to tell her no, but eventually she convinced me to let her put short extensions in. Just enough to get her to put my hair up in a mature looking bun.

"I never noticed your eyes were such a pretty color, do you wear contacts?" Channel asked as she was finishing up my hair.

"Umm no." I said "What are you talking about?"

"They are really pretty, they are so light, almost grey"

I looked in the mirror to see what she was talking about and she was right, my eyes were like a light grey color. "My eyes are brown?" I said confused and then I heard snickering.

"No they aren't silly" Jenni said.

"Yeah Lauri, you have like always had eyes that color" Candi said.

"Are you feeling alright honey? Did you drink too much?"

"No... I'm sorry I just ... It must be nerves I am alright." They were right my eyes have always been this color, that is like my best feature. A few moments later Channel says "Ok its done why don't you take a look"

Looking in the mirror I see how I look. Its not bad, a little bit boring but not bad. I guess I wanted boring, but for some reason it doesn't look quite right. Almost like I don't match the necklace.

"Why don't you put your dress on honey?"

"Yeah that is a good idea" I reply as Channel grabs the dress off the wall.

Now this is no normal dress, it is blue. Like dark blue. It was my main rebellion of this whole process. I hadn't wanted a regular wedding dress, I wanted something that shown off how I am my own woman and I wouldn't just cave to my parents. This is that dress. It was very conservative too, going to the floor, but not puffing out like a princess dress. It covered my whole chest too.

I slipped out of my clothes and went to step into the dress. I had a little bit of an issues getting it over my ass, I must be bloated from the wine. I then got it to my chest and it really got tough to pull it onto my body. I eventually got it on and looked in the mirror. I almost cried.

The dress didn't fit. I could barely get it on my body. Did I really gain that much weight over a few months? Strangely it all was in my chest too.

"Umm what is wrong with my dress" I asked an looked around. Everyone else looked stunned.

"It must be tailored wrong!" My mother replied. "Why don't you take it off."

I peeled it off and sat down starting to cry a bit. My sisters came over to console me. Channel looked at the dress and said "Hmm this is tailored for an A cup."

An A cup! I am at least a D cup, probably a DD when I am bloated. What the heck! A few moments later my mom showed back up holding a different dress. Not just a different dress but the dress she wanted me to buy in the first place.

"Don't worry honey, I know you didn't want this dress but I got it just in case. Why don't you try it on and see." My mom said.

I slipped into the dress and it fit like a glove. It was like it was made specifically for me it fit so well. Looking in the mirror my jaw dropped, I looked great. Not just great I looked HOT! I looked like a Sexy princess. "It is perfect mom how did you know?"

"It was easy Lauri I knew you were a DDD cup, just like your sisters". She was right, why had I not thought of that.

Something wasn't quite right though. Sure my body and my dress and my necklace looked great, but my hair and makeup didn't quite match.

"Here sit down I'll redo your hair and makeup. " Channel said. I sat down and she got to work. A short time later my makeup was redone and damn I look really hot. It was a bit more than I would usually wear but for some reason I just wanted to like as sexy as possible for John.

"I have no idea what I was thinking with these extensions" Channel said. "They matched your old hair but not since you died it dark red. " I looked in the mirror and she was right, my dark red hair was almost shoulder length.

"I think I have some extensions this color though." She said pulling some out and putting them in my hair. It was now all the way down to my back. "You know I know you wanted a bun, but you would look really good with your hair down and curled." Channel said.

I totally agreed. And she got to work. Shortly my hair was done also. I took myself in and damn John was going to cream his pants when he sees me. I'm like a wet dream.

I turn to the room and say "So what do you think?"

"OMG Lauri you look super hot!" Jenni said.

"John isn't going to he able to wait til you get to the hotel with you looking like this." Candi joked as I began to blush and think about him. I bet he is gonna look really hot in his tux.

"Come on girls we need to go. Is everyone ready?" Mom asked.

"Yup " we said in unison as we got in the car.
