"Ok I want you Gabrielle on flowers, Jason make sure that the cameras are set up correctly, Ellen come with me because you need to sort the bride's hair, Artie I want you to get the sound system up and running for the band and John get those seats in place" Santana tells her team. "Now let's go guys" she says clapping her hands to motivate them and they all rush off to carry out their tasks. "Ellen this way please…like now" Santana demands.

"Yes Miss Lopez" Ellen replies while quickly following Santana.

"Sophie why are you here?" Santana asks completely confused as to why one of the stylists are running around and not getting the wedding party dressed.

"The best man has spilled coffee down his tie so I need to find another one" Sophie rushes out, slightly nervous under Santana's intense glare.

"Coffee!" Santana shrieks. "Who allowed coffee anywhere near the suits and dresses?" she asks angrily.

"I don't know Miss Lopez" Sophie replies quietly.

"Well just hurry up and sort the tie out" Santana tells her. "I need as many people all dressed and ready to go as soon as possible."

"Yes Miss Lopez" Sophie says before rushing off to sort out the tie situation.

"Ellen, let's go" Santana says while briskly walking to the bride's room where she is getting ready. Ellen follows as quickly as she can behind Santana. "Now do you remember the hairstyle the bride picked out?" Santana asks in a slightly patronising tone. Santana is completely grateful for all the work her staff do and really appreciates their efforts but when it comes to the wedding day she can get slightly nervous that she comes across more demanding than she means to. All her staff respect her enough to know she doesn't mean it personally and is only trying to keep things on track. However they do know that she is the boss so there is a level of authority Santana has over them which is why she prefers to be referred to as Miss Lopez rather than Santana.

"Yes I remember Miss Lopez" Ellen replies.

"Good, let's make sure the bride's hair is absolutely perfect" Santana says just as they arrive at the hotel room. She knocks on the door once before walking inside as the bride was expecting them. "Now Ellen I need you to be on hand when the photographer is here as well to make any little adjustments on the hair for the photographs" Santana tells her.

"No problem Miss Lopez" Ellen nods.

"My-my, don't you look beautiful" Santana smiles while taking a seat next to the bride, Michelle. "Stephen is going to be blown away" she tells her.

"Thank you" Michelle smiles back. "How is everything coming along?" she asks.

"Everything is going to plan, don't you worry" Santana reassures her. "I have it all under control."

"Ok, good" Michelle sighs in relief.

"So if there anything you need or any little adjustments you need me to make" Santana asks, internally hoping nothing has to be changed but offers to make sure Michelle is happy with everything so far.

"No everything seems fine so far but I'll let you know" Michelle replies.

"Ok, no problem" Santana says while standing up. "Ellen is going to get started on your hair now but I'll be back to check on you soon" she says before exiting the room. She just reaches the reception hall to check everything is good there when she notices Artie making his way out of the doors at the other end of the hall. "Excuse me!" she shouts while running over to him. "Where do you think you're going?" she asks.

"The bathroom, is that a problem Santana?" he asks with a bit of an attitude.

"Yes it's a problem and how many times do I have to tell you, it's Miss Lopez" Santana replies angrily. She and Artie have been friends for many years so it's partly the reason he got a job at her company but nevertheless Santana prefers to be addressed as Miss Lopez regardless of who is working for her.

"Yeah-yeah" he brushes it off. "I'll only be a minute or two so calm down" he tells her while proceeding to the bathroom anyway.

"Ok camera 1 roll and camera 2 prepare for the arrival of the bride" Santana says into her headset while standing at the back of the room where the ceremony is taking place. Once the cameramen are ready, Santana then heads out to the entrance of the hall. "Ok all the guests are in place and the groomsmen have taken their place next to the groom so that just leaves you ladies left" Santana tells Michelle, the flower girls and the bridesmaids.

"Ok" Michelle nods before taking a deep breath to compose herself.

"So are you ready" Santana smiles while asking the bride.

"Yes" Michelle smiles back.

"Ok in you go flower girls" she tells the two four year old little girls but they don't move. "Wakey-wakey girls, come on let's move those little behinds" Santana tells them and they start giggling while walking. "Oh goodness" Santana mutters into herself while rolling her eyes. Bloody kids, who needs them she thinks to herself. The bridesmaids shortly follow the flower girls under Santana's instruction. "Ok now is your moment" she tells Michelle who smiles before linking arms with her father and begins slowly walking down the aisle.


Two weeks later (Thursday 2nd October 2014)

Santana is currently in her office sitting in front of her computer organising a seating plan for another wedding that is coming up shortly. She just gets the last name in place when there is a knock on the door.

"Come in!" she shouts while lifting her head to look over at the door. Two seconds later and her receptionist Emma walks into the room.

"Your next client is here now Miss Lopez" Emma tells her.

"Oh goodness is that the time" Santana says while looking at her watch. "You can just send her right in" she says before closing the document she was working on and bringing up another one full of notes for her next client.

"No problem" Emma nods before leaving the room and goes back to the waiting area to get the client.

"Good afternoon Miss Berry, you may come through now" Emma says smiling while showing the lady to Santana's office.

"Thank you" the lady smiles.

"Miss Lopez, this is Miss Berry" Emma says introducing the young lady to Santana.

"Good afternoon, please take a seat" Santana says while politely smiling.

"Thank you" the lady smiles.

"That will be all Emma" Santana says dismissing her receptionist who then promptly leaves.

"So Miss Berry you're here because you want me to plan your wedding" Santana says while leaning her elbows on the desk and clasping her hands together.

"Yes that's right" the lady replies. "You can call me Rachel though" she says smiling.

"Ok, Rachel" Santana smiles back. "So what normally happens is you tell me all about you and your fiancé and then I will come up with some ideas for the wedding based on that and then we'll take it from there. We'll just start with a nice and easy meeting today" Santana says.

"Ok that sounds cool" Rachel nods.

After an hour or so of Rachel telling Santana about the types of things she likes and what she wants for her wedding they finally call it a day. "So I'll get back to you by the end of the week and we can schedule another meeting and discuss what I have come up with so far" Santana says.

"That sounds good to me" Rachel replies.

"Ok well if you see Emma at the reception she will take a note of the dates you're free so I know when we can schedule another meeting" Santana says. "I'll see you again soon" she smiles.

"Bye" Rachel says before leaving. Santana then gets back to work working on the arrangements for the wedding she had started earlier that day.

Santana is walking through the park on her way home from work. Oh my god, there is dog mess everywhere. What kind of place is this? Santana thinks to herself while frowning at the ground. Every bloody day I walk through here I swear a dog does its business right in front of me, I mean dear goodness. Santana once again thinks to herself.

Meanwhile in the other direction there is a blonde woman taking a dog on a walk…but to be precise she is on a bike with the dog pulling her with the leash wrapped around the handle. She is cycling casually as she listens to her iPod with her earphones securely in her ears blocking out any noise.

"Oh my god woman watch where you are going because I am not moving or else I'll end up in dog mess" Santana mumbles aloud as she notices the blonde woman cycling towards her. "Move" she says loudly, just about screaming. However the woman doesn't seem to pay any attention as she is listening to her music quite happily. "Oh my god" she screams before almost colliding with the woman on the bike. A split second before the bike hits her, someone tackles her to the opposite end of the path out of the way of the bike.

"Are you alright?" the tackler asks.

"Who the hell are you and what the hell are you doing?" Santana asks angrily. "Get off me you idiot, I am covered in grass stains and my designer boots are all covered in mud and don't even get me started on the state of my…" she is interrupted.

"Shush!" the woman who tackled her softly says while smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" Santana asks annoyed.

"Because I saved you from that woman and dog from crashing into you and all you can think about is grass stains and designer gear" the woman states.

"Well anything would have been better than you landing on top of me so move before I call the cops and get you arrested for assault" Santana says glaring at the woman.

"Wow relax" the woman says holding her hands up in defence. "I saved you and this is the thanks I get."

"You better get off me fast or 911 will be dialled on my cell quicker than you can say anything else annoying" Santana says raising an eyebrow in anger.

"Ok" the woman laughs. "Ok jeez" she says while getting off of Santana.

"Thank you" Santana says before going to stand up. Before she can even move the woman holds her hand out.

"Here let me help you up" the kind woman says.

"Fine" Santana sighs while taking the woman's hand and the girl helps her up. Once she is on two feet again she smooths out her clothes and picks her bag up off of the ground.

"Look I am sorry but I was jogging along and seen that idiot of a woman not paying attention and you didn't look like a woman who wanted to jump into dog mess or get run over so instinct kicked in and I pushed you out of the way" the woman tells Santana.

"Well thanks" Santana smiles slightly. "I'm sorry for how I reacted towards you, it's just this is my good suit but I am grateful" she says genuinely.

"It's cool, don't worry about it" the woman smiles.

"Well thanks again but I better be going" Santana says.

"Wait a second, don't I get to know your name?" the woman asks.

"I don't know" Santana shrugs.

"Come on I saved you" the woman smiles. "Surely I can know your name for being such a heroine."

"Fine" Santana smiles, giving in to the woman. "It's Santana" she tells the woman.

"Cool, well it's nice to meet you Santana" the woman says smiling.

"So what name do I call my heroine?" Santana smiles while asking.

"It's Brittany" the woman replies.

"Cool, that's a nice name" Santana states while looking at the woman properly for the first time.

"Thanks, my mom likes the name" Brittany teases.

"Does she now?" Santana laughs. "What a surprise huh" she says sarcastically.

"I know right" Brittany smiles back.

"Well anyways thanks for saving me but I really should go, got lots of work to do" Santana says while motioning to her bag full of folders.

"It's no problem" Brittany nods. "It was nice meeting you though" she tells her.

"You too" Santana smiles. "Enjoy the rest of your day."

"I will, bye now" Brittany says before they both leave in different directions.

Later that night, unbeknownst to each other, both Santana and Brittany are lying in bed in their respective homes thinking about the event at the park this afternoon. Santana can't help but think about how beautiful the girl was and how kind of her it was to save her from the crazy woman on the bike. She doesn't usually feel this away about anyone when she first meets them because she's never really been on the lookout for anyone recently as she is so busy at work. For some reason though as soon as she locked eyes with Brittany there seemed to be an instant attraction or connection maybe. I wish I could see her again…wait maybe she runs in the park that time every day. Here's what I could do, I could leave work at the exact same time tomorrow and hopefully catch her…oh shoot I can't tomorrow because I have a meeting late afternoon, I guess I'll need to wait to the next day. Santana thinks to herself.

Meanwhile with Brittany, she is having mixed feelings about their meeting today. She is currently trying to go over some work things on her laptop in bed. Wow Santana was smoking hot, I'd love to talk to her again she thinks to herself before quickly realising something. As much as she wants to see Santana again, she knows she probably never will because all she knows is her first name. She doesn't even have a number or anything to contact her.

Both girls go to sleep that night praying they will meet again.


A few days later (Monday 6th October 2014)

Santana and some of her team are in a department store shopping for the wedding gifts for a particular wedding she is planning. Instead of guests bringing their own gift to the wedding, the bride has demanded that she makes the list of presents and each guest will pick one off of the list and pay for it to give as their wedding present. The bride has enlisted Santana and her team to buy all the gifts as part of the wedding planning package which Santana doesn't usually offer. Normally when planning a wedding she takes care of most plans except the buying of gifts as usually guests are supposed to do that but with such a big wedding the bride wants it's really good money for Santana so she is going the extra mile to make sure this wedding stays with her company and the bride doesn't go to someone else to plan it.

"Ok I want everyone to focus because we only have 2 hours in here to get everything and you know what the bride is like, she's hard to please" Santana says while gathering her team in a circle to go over some rules.

"Now why does this person seem familiar?" Marley, one of the team asks with a slight smirk.

"Ok I get it but I am a perfectionist" Santana tells them. "But…" she says while taking a slight pause "if you all want to keep your job then stop comparing me to this demanding bride."

"Ok sorry" Marley apologises.

"That's ok now we really need to get a move on" Santana states. "I mean time is of the essence here because I have Miss Berry's wedding to sort out as well as this one so we need things done promptly" she tells everyone. It seems this wedding and Rachel's wedding are pretty close together date wise so if they can get as much done now then it'll benefit everyone nearer the time.

"We know so we'll be right on task" Kitty, another member of the team says.

"Thank you now let's get moving" Santana says clapping her hands. "We only have 1 hour and 57 minutes left now so let's get these gifts pronto, guys" she says and everyone runs off looking for the items. They've all got their own pricing gun so that as soon as they find the item they scan the barcode and the item is automatically listed on the machine instead of everyone carrying lots of boxes around the store. When they are done Santana will go to the check out with the list and pay for the items and then store staff while go around and collect all the items and then take all the boxes out to her van for her.

Ok Santana this woman needs a dehumidifier, god what kind of bride wants her and her husband to receive a dehumidifier for a gift. Personally if I was getting married I'd like some sort of diamond or a piece of jewellery, not a flaming dehumidifier. I'd want something memorable to remember such a great day. Santana thinks to herself while briskly walking up and down the aisles looking for a dehumidifier. Just as she thinks she's found the section they're at, Sophie runs over.

"What is it?" she asks, slightly frustrated she has not found any gifts yet and keeps getting interrupted.

"They have no light pink glittering litter boxes left at the pet section" Sophie states out of breath from running over to talk to Santana.

"Get dark pink then, chance are she'll not know the difference because I've seen a dark blue crayon brighter than that woman" Santana states.

"Ok Miss Lopez" Sophie replies before running back over to the pet section.

Ok seriously, this woman wants a pink litter box for her wedding gift, dear god, what'll be next a dog bone for the anniversary. Santana thinks into herself. It's not that she means to judge the woman because she's not really a judging person but there's just something about the woman she can't stand. She has planned many different weddings in her career so she knows everyone has their own tastes and specific requests but for some reason this woman just irritates her. However this is strictly business so she doesn't have to like the person, she just has to act professional and plan the best wedding for the woman.

After another few minutes of no luck at finding the dehumidifiers, Santana decides to find a store assistant and ask them. "Excuse me" she says while approaching the aisle that a member of staff is currently in but gets no response. "EXCUSE ME" she says a little louder and the female staff member turns around.

"Yes" the member of staff sighs, seeming irritated that someone needs her help.

"Would you be ever so kind to point me in the direction of the dehumidifiers and if not then you can tell your manager that wedding planning extraordinaire Santana Lopez no longer wishes to shop here" Santana says cheekily and the woman's face pales immediately.

"No problem, right this way" the woman says nervously.

"Thank you" Santana smiles cheekily and follows the woman into the next aisle.

"They are right here" the woman says pointing to the bottom shelf where all of the dehumidifiers are sitting.

"Thank you, you can go now" Santana dismisses her but the woman doesn't move as she is a little nervous.

"Go now, go away" Santana says more clearly to make sure the woman heard her.

"Yes miss" the woman nods and quickly hurries away.

Jeez, what is it with everyone Santana thinks before beginning to look for the correct dehumidifier. Once she has found it, she scans the barcode to add that to the list.

"Do you have a lot of humidity?" a voice says from behind her and Santana quickly turns around noticing Brittany standing smirking at her.

"Excuse me" Santana says.

"You're looking at dehumidifiers so I'm asking if you have a lot of humidity" Brittany smiles.

"Oh right" Santana says finally getting what Brittany meant. "No this isn't for me" she tells her.

"Oh right, I see" Brittany nods.

"Yeah, it's for a client" Santana states.

"A client?" Brittany asks confused. She's not sure what type of job someone would have that would require them to buy a dehumidifier.

"Yeah I'm a wedding planner" Santana states.

"Hold on one moment" Brittany says when something clicks in her head. "You're Santana Lopez?" she asks.

"Yeah, do I know you or something?" Santana asks.

"It's me Brittany, we met in the park the other day" Brittany states.

"Yeah I know you're Brittany but I meant how do you know my second name?" Santana asks. "I only told you my first name the other day."

"Come on, you're a wedding planner by the name of Santana" Brittany states. "So with that I put two and two together and came up with Santana Lopez wedding planner" Brittany replies.

"I don't understand" Santana says confused.

"Everyone knows the best wedding planner in New York" Brittany states.

"Oh you've heard of me before" Santana says slightly shocked.

"Yeah I mean I've seen you in magazines and everything, you're amazing" Brittany smiles.

"Well thank you" Santana says smiling back.

"Do you know as soon as I saw you I thought you looked familiar but then I just thought it was just one of those things where someone looks familiar but you've never seen them before" Brittany tells her.

"Yeah" Santana nods in understanding.

"Anyways since you're a wedding planner then you might be able to help me" Brittany says.

"Ok with what" Santana says, interested in what Brittany might need help with.

"Is a toaster an appropriate wedding gift for someone?" Brittany asks.

"Depends whether it's a 2 slicer or a 4 slicer" Santana says jokingly causing Brittany to laugh. "No I'm just joking" she tells her.

"Ok so what do you think?" Brittany asks.

"Well if the couple are moving in together for the first time into a new house after the wedding then I say it's appropriate but not so much if they don't need one" Santana says giving her opinion.

"No the couple don't have anything like that" Brittany replies.

"I suppose it also depends who you are buying for like if they are close family or just a relative but you feel you should give them a nice practical gift" Santana states.

"Well it's actually for my best friend but it's not like I won't get her something meaningful too, I just thought I should get a regular gift like everyone does at a wedding" Brittany says.

"Well I'm sure the gift will be welcomed especially if they don't have many household items together. Are they moving in together after the wedding or do they already live together?" Santana asks.

"They're moving in after the wedding…well that's providing they find the perfect place together" Brittany replies.

"Ok well it sounds fine to give her the toaster" Santana tells Brittany.

After a moment of silence with the two girls just staring at one another, Brittany finally speaks up. "Hey maybe I could get your number and say I had another question, maybe I could call you and ask" Brittany suggests hesitantly.

"Em…" Santana thinks for a moment.

"Please" Brittany smiles. "I mean as friends."

"Well ok then" Santana says giving into her. There is something about the way Brittany smiles that Santana just has to give in. "Give me your phone and I'll put my number in it" she tells her and then Brittany passes over her phone. Santana then adds her number and then texts her own phone to save Brittany's number. "There we go, we now officially have each other's numbers" Santana smiles.

"Awesome" Brittany smiles back.

"Oh shoot is that the time" Santana says noticing the time on her watch. "Sorry I have to go but text me and let me know if you ever need more advice, we could meet up or something."

"I will definitely do that" Brittany tells her.

"Ok well have a nice day, bye now" Santana says and Brittany says goodbye back before they both walk away.


I'm trying a out a new idea so let me know what you think. Should I continue with the story?
