Chapter 212
~ Octavia ~
After everything at the court, the wedding preparation started. I did not want it to be rushed so I took two weeks after the court hearing on a Saturday to start. Knowing I had gotten to a significant place in my project. All that was left was for a date to be fixed by the board for a presentation.
The bridal boutique was a flurry of white fabric and excited chatter. Mum was at my side, already tearing up at the sight of me in the first dress. Olga and Lila had come along to help too.
Franklin was at home with Fredrick.
Franklin had booked out the whole day just for me to shop my wedding dress. He is extra, I know.
"No, no," mum said, shaking her head at the third dress. "This one makes her look like a cupcake."
She hated it. But to me, it wasn't so bad.
"Mummm," I laughed, "it's not that bad."
"Trust me," she said firmly. "You deserve better than cupcake."
