An added bonus
In awe everyone in the room looked at what Jason had arranged. One by one what he had managed to get done with the help of his contacts and the Westwood name was revealed. In just thirty minutes he had gotten multiple different bridesmaid dresses, in all shapes and colours, to be brought in from a side door of the mansion. They were given no time to be amazed about what had been rolled in because the next needed item was brought in right after the designers had left. After the florists came in with three bouquets matching the one Sophia was supposed to hold down the isle, the door that had just closed, was opened once again. This time it was none other than Seal who walked through the door. He wanted to greet the bride and groom before he took the stage. Leaving everyone in the room flabbergasted and in a moment of shock. After he left everyone, including Jenny turned to Jason who acted like it was all nothing as he was browsing through his phone through it all. Jenny went over to give him a tight hug and placed a big kiss on his cheek. Leaving a trace of her bright coloured lipstick on the side of his face. Making his serious looking face crack into a smile.
Despite being impressed, they had little time to stay in the moment. They needed to pick the dresses and get ready. With less than thirty minutes left on the clock there was no time to waste. They quickly went over the racks filled with dresses and looked for one that suited their style. This was of course after Sophia had told them which colour she wanted the dresses to be. The choice fell on three soft pink dresses that matched the colour of the flowers that had been used to decorate the isle. Each dress was the exact same colour but they were all a different style. Each of them picking something that matched their body type, but at the same time looked as if it was a match with the other dresses. They each took a flower out of their bouquets and put it in the coat pocket of their partner's suits. With that the image was completed and with five minutes left to spare they were ready to start the ceremony.
After they were called by one of the staff members and all the guests had been seated out back, they walked down to the rose petals covered path that led towards the white arch, which was adorned with the same light pink roses. First George walked to the front and stood there with the minister. One by one, an hand was tugged in the elbow crease of the guys and the others walked down the laid out path. After splitting up by the alter, the music changed and Sophia started walking down on the wedding march. Earning many gasps as she looked stunning in her custom made dress. After this wow-moment and their sweet own written vows, the attention was stolen by Seal who sang the song for their first dance. As 'Kiss from a rose' was played, George and Sophia went to the middle of the dance floor and her dress shimmered under the dimmed lights. Immediately after their dance, the others were invited to join the newlyweds on the dance floor. Leaving people no time to gossip about a thing. At least not in Sophia's presence.
Sophia and George walked away as the other guests took to the dance floor and went over to their friends who were watching from a distance. With a smile on her face and watery eyes Sophia thanked them for their hard work. "Thank you guys. This turned into a wonderful day. I hate myself for not reaching out to you guys earlier. Considering what you managed to get done in an hour, I wonder what you could have done with a week's worth of time. If it weren't for the exams coming up and me knowing you are all busy studying, I would have. But for now there was too much holding me back. I am glad that I shared my troubles with you in the end and allowed myself to be helped by such reliable and kind friends."
Elizabeth replied on behalf of the group as she said, "We were all happy to do it." After that she added a little on behalf of herself as she thought about the situation and wanted the credit to go to the one who deserved it most, while trying to lighten the mood. "Besides, most of it was done by Jason and you know him. As long as it can make Jenny happy, he is happy to do to whatever and after he is done and has reached his goal, he will behave as if it wasn't any effort at all. Whoever becomes happy along with her is just an added bonus." Elizabeth's words caused everyone to start laughing, except for Jason who considered it a statement of facts and not a joke. The rest of the evening the friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves, dancing and tasting all the well made snacks as well as a scrumptious meal made by one of the chefs of the restaurant chain that belonged to their family. After dinner the girls visited the dessert table more than once as they wanted to taste everything. Even Sophia, who no longer had to worry about fitting into her dress and had in fact changed into her second more loose fitted white dress, visited the crepe stand and the cake table repeatedly. Now that her worrying was over and she had such a good excuse, she should enjoy herself to the fullest.
