Her smile was bright as she asked the clerk at the make-up counter for directions through the department store. As the clerk was showing her how to find the lingerie department, she commented on the gorgeous antique engagement ring on her hand. She smiled at the clerk and went off to shop.
It was a short ride up to the third floor on the escalator. She saw the sexy lingerie on the mannequins as she stepped off the escalator. Hmm, soft green was her favorite color, but she had to find something spectacular in white for her wedding night.
Thinking of the honeymoon in Jamaica she stopped to check out the bikinis. I deserve two, one white and one green, she thought to herself as she stepped into the dressing room. She loved the pale green one.
I am so glad I worked out at the gym she reminisced as she thought of how she would look in her swimsuits. She had more shopping to do. Everything fit perfectly she thought. She paid for the bikinis she chose and went to the lingerie department. She thought of John and the wedding as she went through the piles of white garments. She bought a long white gown and two short ones after trying them on in the dressing room.
She walked away with bags filled with lovely garments. She sees some purses and stops to look. Although she already has a white evening purse for her wedding day, she purchases a hobo bag that is appropriate for the beach. She paid for the bag.
She bought white jeans, blue jeans and some shorts. These will be cool on the honeymoon she thought. Now she needed some blouses to wear with them. She went over to the ladies department and picked out some shirts for girls. She bought three to match pin shorts, plaid shorts and the jeans. She left the ladies department with her new purchases added to the bag.
She felt very thirsty after all that shopping. She went to the restaurant and sat down and enjoyed the air conditioning. The menu was tempting her.
One salad and iced tea was all she ordered when the waitress came over. She made a mental note to eat cheeseburgers and fries after the honeymoon. Her diet was strict for now though.
Now that she had been to the bridal shop for her last fitting she had to maintain her weight. The gown will fit perfectly if she does. She visualized the long train on the lovely gown. She drank the last of her coke as she thought of John. The waitress asked if she wanted dessert. She said no and paid the check.
Da da da da she hummed inside her head as she carried all her bags to the car. She drove home with her purchases. There was still so much to do before the big day. She gazed at her antique engagement ring glinting in the sun as she stepped out of the car. She called out to her mother as she walked into the house. ‘Hi mom, I found everything.’
