OOC: Skip, maybe, to a few days before the wedding?
Peter smiled. It was all the better, really, that she was attached to any of her family. It would be easier for her to accept his as theirs, and it was hard for him to get used to new people. "Absolutely. I was thinking of Darts all along."

((or the day before, your choice)
"Perfect." Jess forced herself out of bed and opened her best friend's cage, letting him hop onto her arm before sitting back down on the bed. "We can put a bow on his head. He'll look spiffing."

OOC: Day before it is, then.
Evelyn bit her lip when Jess came down the stairs in her wedding dress. The great bulge that was her stomach was more than noticable--it even strained a little at the front. But other than that, she looked beautiful, and Evelyn put on a smile. "It's darling."

"Do you think so?" Jess had a rather pained expression on her face, sighing as she ran her hands down her front. "I think I look like a fat troll in a pretty set of robes." She frowned, tugging at the hemline below her navel. "How could she have gotten this big? I was measured three days ago. I'm going to rip my clothes, I just know it."

Evelyn smiled thinly, as though it were not a possibility that had occured to her. "You can't possibly grow that much in just a day," she said logically.
Peter bounded down the staircase, looking surprisingly grown-up in his suit and tie. He beamed at both of them. "And you said the three button notch would look stuffy," he told his mother reproachfully.

"I hope not. I feel like I'm about to..." Jess blinked, falling silent as she looked at Peter and his smile. For perhaps the first time in her life, he looked so handsome that she was caught speechless. All she could do was stare blankly at him, her mouth open slightly.

Evelyn brought her hand to her mouth. Her son, her little boy, her Peter looked so wonderfully dashing that she almost began to tear up. "I'll get you a rose," she mumbled, smiling broadly at Peter before exiting out into the garden.
Peter only grinned wider at Jess, and he gestured to his suit. "What d'you think? Is three buttons too much?"

Jess shook her head slowly, looking completely in awe. "Perfect..." She mouthed the word to herself another few times as she tried to catch her breath.

This satisfied Peter, and he looked at Jess's dress with a noncritical eye. "You look fantastic, Jess," he told her, swooping down to kiss her.

Jess kissed him back lovingly, feeling her heart flutter. This was too odd. She pulled away reluctantly, blushing a little. "Not as brilliant as you."

Peter looked surprised for half a second. Jess had a tendency to agree whenever he said that. But he was pleasantly surprised, and his eyes twinkled. He certainly did look swoon-worthy. "Rubbish. But you'll have me, then?" he asked, taking Jess's hands easily.

Jess blushed even deeper, lacing her fingers in with his. "Of course." She felt so different right then, looking at the both of them in their wedding clothes and feeling the baby moving. It was all sort of overwhelming. "That is, if you don't mind having to lean over my watermelon of a stomach to kiss the bride."

"Not at all. Besides, you are the most beautiful bride in the world. It's a small price to pay," Peter protested, just as Evelyn came in, carrying a snipped rose and handing it to Jess. "Would you like to tuck it in?" she asked Jess kindly, still smiling at Peter.

Jess's cheeks were still pink, a smile pasted on her face as she took the flower from her future mother-in-law. She nodded, fingering the petals lightly and unable to look Evelyn in the eye, feeling like an embarassed little girl.

Peter looked down a little bit so that Jess could put it in without being on her tiptoes, and he exchanged a small, amused smile with his mother. He'd never seen Jess act quite like this before.
