'Okay, Randy, slow, deep breaths. You can do this. If you can stick your hands up to your elbows in someone's chest, you can get through this.' Randy gulped as he stared at his reflection in a full length mirror in his basement home.
He raked his fingers through his (for once) combed brown hair, unintentionally mussing it into it's usual messy style. He'd shaved that morning, though he felt somehow off without his stubble.
"I can do this, I am going to live through this day." He smiled at himself, drawing a deep, shaking breath right before he broke down into a hyperventelating mess on the floor as reality struck him right between the eyes.
"Oh God, I'm getting married today!"

"Look on the bright side, man, if you die.... you've got good friends to make sure you get a good plot and killer flowers," Cain replied, holding back his laughter as he watched his friend crumble to the floor. "Hell, we might even get Cat, Evie, and Rose to sing at the viewing."
"Ain't that right, Jack?" Cain asked, grinning ear from ear as he glanced at his other friend.

“S’right.” Jack answered, returning the grin. “So hyperventilate away.” He tossed a paper bag at Randy, one of the many he had stashed in his pocket. “Deep breaths, buddy.”

Cat, on the other hand, seemed cool as a cucumber as she orchestrated the dance of bridesmaids and helpers, making sure things were set up to her liking. She hadn't put her dress on yet, she was wearing a pair of soft white pants nd a blue button up shirt, but her hair was carefully piled on top of her head and adorned with fake jewels. She frowned, deep in though and twisting the engagement ring on her finger before finally looking up. "Rosie, you'd better go put your dress on soon.... and have you seen Eva?"

Rose, who was fussing with some last minute hemming with Cat's dress, looked up from the manequin she was working with, pins sticking out of her mouth. "Noph, buh she said she'd be heyah shoon." She pulled the pins out and stood up, arching her back in a stretch. "Well, your dress is all hemmed." She unhooked a hanging powder blue bridesmaid dress off the wall. "Gimme five minutes, ten if last night's bachelorette party buffet caught up with me."
Randy gulped and, being stranger than usual, pulled the bag over his head, breathing deeply as he could. After a few minutes, he said, his voice muffled by the bag, "Okay, this is just making me dizzzy."

"Alright, if he's not here when you get back, call her!" Cat yelled after Rose before turning back to organize the last of the food placement. After that is was off to grab her newly rehemmed dress, grab a halper and go change.
The dress was spectacular. It had cost a fortune, of course, but she could afford to splurge on this. It was such a bright white it appeared blueish. It was bejeweled, boatnecks and frilly, with corset boning to set off her slim waist ad full skirts. She clances at her reflection, biting her lip and sighing. She'd been so busy the past few hours- days, weeks, months- that she hadn't had time to think about it much. She was getting married, to the man of her dreams no less.
It would be perfect.

Rose scooted out of the other room, struggling with the zipper of her dress. "Grr...guh! Someone please help me! I knew I shouldn't have had that extra helping of coconut chicken last night!"

"I've got it, Rosie." Eva seemed to show up out of nowhere, a slightly amused smile on her face. She futzed with the zipper a bit before finally getting it up. "So, what have we learned about coconut chicken?"

Rose coughed and gasped for air, moaning loudly. "Two helpings is enough if you're trying to fit into a size five dress the next day."

"Exactly." Eva grinned, thumping her friend on the back. "Now, you go see if Cat needs halp while I get changed."

"Hey, look there, Rand, Jackie's all takin' care of you," Cain said patting Randy's back slightly, "now if you'll excuse me - I gotta check on my main squeeze.... she's somewhere getting dressed." He grinned, "I'm gonna see if I can help 'er with that."
Dashing out the door, a few moments later Cain was pounding on the dressing room door where the girls were. "Rosie? Babe, I still got your earrings in my jacket pocket... you need 'em?'

Rose turned her head toward the door. "Sure, Cain, gimme a sec." She half-walked, half-tripped toward the door, opening it only half-way so Eva could get changed. She grinned at Cain. "So? Earrings?"

Cain grinned at Rose as she popped her head out from the doorway. "Here," he said digging around in his pocket, as he grinned pulling out the little blue box, " so, you need any help gettin' dressed? Thought I'd ask... you know, 'cause I'm nice like that."

"Don't worry, Cain!" Eva called, stepping out a moment later in her dress, grinning. "I already helped her." she winked slightly, stepping closer to Rose

Rose took the box, chuckling to herself. "Sorry, babe. Maybe next time. How's the groom holding up?"

"Next time?" Cain pulled a pout, grinning a moment later, "fine, so I didn't get to help you dress, but I sure as call getting to help you undress."
"The groom? ...well, he's holding on, barely."

Rose snorted and grinned back. "Not till after I get to walk down the aisle or I get really drunk during the reception."
"Did you try putting a paper bag over his head?"

"Yes, we tried everything," Cain replied, thinking a moment before answering right off. "And I never said it was soon that I got to help out with the undressing.... I just said I called it. Eva always like, gets bossy and takes over."
