the ir coats to reveal they too were wearing bubble gum pink t-shirts. Only theirs read bridesmaid one and bridesmaid two.
    “We aren’t done with you yet,” Caitlin laughed as she pulled a tiara with a veil attached to it out of Hannah’s bag and sat it on Ally’s head. And then to complete the picture Hannah pulled a pair of L-plates from the bag and attached them with string around Ally’s neck.
    “Perfect!” Hannah exclaimed with a big, satisfied grin.
    “Are you happy now?” Ally asked as she looked from Hannah to Caitlin and back to Hannah. They both nodded and smiled in unison and Ally couldn’t help but laugh.
    The y all took their seats as Caitlin called the waitress and whispered something to her. The girl smiled and nodded before she hurried off.
    When she returned , she was carrying a tray with two large bottles of champagne and champagne flutes. She was followed closely by a waiter carrying a beautiful bouquet of two dozen roses and a champagne flute of orange juice.
    The waitress sat the champagne down on the table and smiled up at Ally. When she stepped back, the other waiter placed the champagne flute of orange juice in front of Ally.
    “These are for you,” the waiter said with a broad smile as he handed Ally the roses .
    “Thank you,” she said as her face burned bright red with embarrassment. She quickly slipped the card from the flowers and opened the little white envelope. She smiled as she read the card.
     
    My dearest Ally,
    Have a wonderful night . This time next week you will be Mrs. Thomas, my beautiful wife. And I will be the luckiest man alive. I love you gorgeous girl.
    Your Cole xx
    Ally smiled and wiped the tears from her eyes. She had never felt happier than she did right in that moment. She looked up and everyone was watching her, smiling and Ally instantly felt her face burn.
    “Come on,” C aitlin said, knowing how uncomfortable Ally was with being the centre of attention. “Let’s get this party started.”
    She winked at Ally as she picked up the bottle of champagne and started to fill the glasses. Ally reached for her glass of orange juice and smiled to herself because Cole had made sure she had something too because she couldn’t drink, with being pregnant. She stared down at the card and smiled again. She really did love Cole bloody Thomas.
    “ Okay everyone,” Caitlin said lifting up her glass and standing back up. “We are all here tonight because my girl here has bagged herself a hottie. And you can bet he is a lucky man to have landed such an incredible girl as my woman here. Ally, Hannah and I have been friends since our first day of school. And I know Hannah will agree when I say, we couldn’t have wished for a better friend than Ally. She is one of life’s true angels. So I ask you all to raise your glasses and join me in wishing her all the very best for the future. To Ally.”
    “To Ally,” the rest of the group repeated.
    Ally sat back and began to relax and enjoy herself. She even managed to forget the silly veil and the L-plates.  When the Champagne was finished, Caitlin called the waitress to order another round as when she returned, she told the group Cole had left enough money behind the counter for them to have a great night. The whole group cheered and Ally’s heart burst with pride at just how wonderful her husband to be was.
    A couple of hour s had passed and despite the fact she was the only one still sober, Ally was having a ball. She couldn’t remember the last time she had laughed so much.
    After a fit o f the giggles, she decided it was time for her to head to the ladies room.
    She pushed her way through the busy Saturday night crowd until she finally made it to the quietness of the bathroom.
    She hurried into the cubicle and once she was done she returned to the vanity unit to wash her hands. She was just reapplying her lipstick when her phone beeped and she smiled, knowing it would be Cole. And she was right.
    Hey gorgeous girl,
