Something Borrowed



“I like this one.” Rianna turned and looked at the dress her sister was pointing out.

“It’s too modern. You save that one for when you and AJ tie the knot.” Marcy turned red. She and AJ had been getting pretty serious lately. “I want a long dress with a long train. But it will be sleeveless. I’ll wear long opera gloves too.” Rianna explained.

“No... you can’t wear opera gloves. It will ruin the feeling of the ring sliding on your finger. And having the ring over the gloves won’t look right.” BJ interrupted. She had a good point.

“Well, she’ll just have to have the type of gloves with no fingers. Just the part that hooks onto the middle finger. That will work rather well.” Jane compromised. Rianna thought about it, and agreed.

“What about an Oriental-type dress? With a Mandarin collar and designs in the fabric? Sleeveless too.” Lesley asked.

“That would be perfect!” Rianna exclaimed.

“Yeah, but where are we going to find something that specific?” Marcy added.

“Right here.” Lesley stepped out of the way to reveal the dress she had just described. Rianna’s eyes lit up like stars.

“Oh my God! That’s it! That is definitely it!” Rianna shouted. The store clerk rushed over to be of assistance.

The clerk went to get Rianna’s smaller size, then helped her to get on. The others lost their sanity at the sight of Rianna in the wedding gown.

Later, back at the house, Rianna and her sister were discussing wedding plans.

“How are you going to wear you hair?” Rianna was alarmed. She had no idea what she was going to do with her long locks.

“Don’t worry. I’ll do it for you. I’m thinking we can pin it all up and have curls spilling over the top. That way the tiara holding the veil with fit over.” Rianna really liked Marcy’s suggestion.

“And look what I found the other day.” Marcy got up and got two butterfly hair pins. “I wanna put these in. They’ll really accent the whole Oriental look you’re going for.” Rianna hugged her sister and thanked her.

Now all she needed was something new.
