Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 21 Wedding dresses

““‘We’ve made you several different options fora dress.” The seamstress said the moment Doris sat on the couch. The large room was filled with racks and racks of white dresses. The only thing that was missing was her best friend Beth. She would have loved all of this.

William had taken Alec to his meetings for a few hours so she could try on a few for their wedding and finish any other details for their wedding. For once she only felt peace in her heart.

“What kind of style did you want to start with? We have mermaid, ballgowns, everything you could think of!” She started pulling off a few options before Doris could even answer.

Doris striped down to her undergarments once she was behind the curtain. Her stomach was in butterflies—she never thought she would be trying on wedding dresses for herself. She always figured she would be the one to help another pick their dream dress.

The seamstress brought four long gowns behind the curtain and helped her try on the first option. Doris stepped up to the mirror and felt her heart skip in her chest.
