Planning a wedding was insanity, Amelia decided. Finding the time to plan it around company life was even more insane, and she had no idea how Meredih had managed to do it. On her downtime at rehearsals she sat on the floor beneath the barres with her ipad, doing various things, mostly looking at things on Pinterest for inspiration. She wanted a beautiful wedding but her thoughts were all over the place as to what she wanted. She did know what she wanted with her gown, however – she wanted something unique and differing from the norm. Something striking and completely different had been on her mind – a black wedding gown. She knew how different it was but it was trendy at the same time, and she had come across gorgeous ones, plus to her, it fit her tumultuous life and personality. She just had to find the fine to go wedding gown shopping with Meredith and her sisters, which was difficult to do, but eventually one day she was able to schedule a bridal appointment at Vera Wang for the five of them.

Breezing through the doors, Amelia sighed quietly as she looked at the sea of white before her, other colors dispersed between them all. Attendents offered them champagne and other beverages, which Amelia took advantage of, sipping on a flute of champagne as she gazed at wedding gowns, her sisters helping her.

"What did you have in mind?" Lizzie asked her, fingering a silk taffeta skirt. Amelia bit her lip; she hadn't told anyone what she had wanted.

"I want something frothy. Lots of tulle. Maybe a gorgeous train. And…I want to be unconventional. I want it to be black. And you can protest all you want, but I think it'll be absolutely stunning, considering the venues I've thought up," she said, looking at the raised eyebrows of her sisters. Meredith, however, only smiled, knowing this was the Amelia she knew and loved.

Amelia had picked a pretty rose colored dress for her bridesmaids, and the staff at Vera Wang was picking out dresses that fit what she wanted for her girls. For herself, though, they were working behind the scenes to pick what fit for Amelia, and she was excited to see what they had for her. Anxiously sitting on one of the many couches in the shop, she sipped her champagne, getting ready to see her top picks for her wedding gown, despite the vision in her head.

Once dresses had been picked for everyone, they had fun trying everything on. Despite dressing in tutu's all the time, Amelia loved the feel of being in a wedding gown, and was mesmerized by her appearance in the floor-to-ceiling mirrors, gazing at her tiny body in the gorgeous gowns. Meredith and her sisters loved everything too, and soon they had picked a bridesmaid dress, but Amelia was torn between a gorgeous cream-colored gown, and a frothy black halter down, with cream being the feature at the front of the skirt.

"I really can't decide, cream or white is so traditional, but black is killer and new, I was picturing the wedding at a trendy loft in SoHo, definitely not what my mother wants for me, but it could be so cool," she said, biting on her lip. She loved them both, then had an idea.

"What if I wear the cream one for the ceremony and satisfy my mother for the church wedding, then wear the black one for the reception?" she asked. Lizzie laughed a bit.

"You just want to wear two wedding gowns, Amy," she teased her youngest sister. Amelia rolled her eyes.

"First, it's Amelia. And second off, it's a great idea because that way I get to have both of my dream gowns," she said, staring back at herself in the mirror in the black gown. She called the attendant over and smiled.

"Hi, I'm actually going to take both gowns," she smiled, passing over her credit card as she stripped down to her underwear and corset, another woman taking her measurements and marking them down for her order. She knew they'd just gotten a huge commission for their wedding party, and Amelia was pleased with her idea for the wedding gowns.

Once they left Vera Wang, they headed for lunch at one of their favorite restaurants, Cipriani, ordering anything and everything they wanted to eat and having fun. Amelia sat back with a mimosa and her meal, easily chatting with her family about the wedding, even though it was months in advance.

"So what does the company think of you two marrying?" Kate asked, and Amelia blushed.

"They think it's good publicity," she admitted, even though she hated acknowledging that. She didn't want their wedding to be public, though she knew it would be. Two of the company's biggest stars having such a high profile wedding would be great for the company itself, especially concerning whatever ballets they were doing at the time. Sighing, she tipped her mimosa back, ordering another one as she listened to her three sisters chattering, looking to Meredith for guidance.

I'm sorry for another dry spell! I was really sick again and in the hospital and had no muse for writing But I'm truly trying to get chapters out, It's just really difficult when you're tired all the time and always in pain. I can't promise consistent updates but I can tell you that things will be updated….eventually. So please stick with me!
