Bridesmaid Says, ''I Do!''

Hi Zoe,

Thanks for your email with the quotes and the link. Has it occurred to you that you may have missed your calling as a wedding planner?

I agree that the Greenslades menu is a standout, so let’s go with them, especially as they’re based in Toowoomba and they can send out a mobile kitchen. Great find.

The table settings look terrific—I’m happy to go with whatever you girls choose.

Zoe, you might be Bella’s best friend, but I think you’ve just become mine, too. Such a load off my mind to have this sorted so quickly and easily.

Cheers

Kent

P.S. I was wondering—do you have a favourite colour?

Dear Kent,

All the bookings are made and both Greenslades and the Perfect Day hire company will be sending you their invoices with details about deposits etc.

Ouch. I hope you don’t get too much of a shock.

I’m leaving the ordering of drinks to you. Bella and I will look after the flower arrangements and decorations. So now the major details are planned, but I’d also like to have a bridal shower and a hens’ party for Bella, so there’s a bit more to be sorted. I guess you and your best man will be having a bucks’ night?

As Bella has probably told you, she’s found a dress she loves, so it looks as if everything is coming together.

I can’t imagine why you want to know my favourite colour. I’m not even sure I can answer that question. It depends if you’re talking about a colour to wear, or a colour to look at. It can make quite a difference, you know.

Regards,

Zoe

Hi Zoe,

Once again, thanks for all your help. I can’t imagine how this wedding could have happened without you.

As for the question about your favourite colour, I’m afraid I can’t really explain. It’s a small but pleasant task Bella has assigned to me.

That’s a fascinating observation you’ve made about colours. For now, could you give me both your favourite colour to wear and your favourite colour to look at? Cheers Kent

On the following Saturday morning, Bella bought her wedding dress. Zoe had been with her when she’d first seen the dress on the previous Saturday, and they’d loved it. Twice during the week Bella had been back to the shop to look at it again, and now she’d dragged Zoe along with her to approve her final decision.

‘Each time I see it, I love it more,’ Bella had confided, and as Zoe watched her parade across the store’s plush carpet she totally understood why. The floor-length gown was very simple, but its elegant lack of fussiness totally suited Bella’s blond, country-girl beauty. Its style, with beautifully embroidered straps and Grecian draping, was perfect for an outdoor country wedding.

‘Kent will adore you in this,’ Zoe said as she pictured Bella coming across the lawn to her waiting bridegroom. ‘You’ll stop him in his tracks.’

She was proud that she said this with a genuine smile, although putting the Kent nonsense out of her thoughts hadn’t been as easy as she’d expected. Emails in which he asked about her favourite colour hadn’t helped.
