Maggie's POV

Anita clung onto my arm as Becca walked ahead of us to the store. I had so many butterflies in my stomach, clinging on to my wedding binder. I couldn't believe we were really doing this already. I was going to buy my wedding dress today, I couldn't wait any longer or it wouldn't be ready on time.

We had attempted to buy it for weeks now, but I kept making excuses as to why each dress wasn't right. In my mind though, I kept waiting for that moment, the one in all the movies and tv shows. The one where I would cry and it would be magical, it just hadn't happened yet.

I reached for the door and Becca quickly blocked it, standing in front of me, "Mags, I really need you to want it today. Okay? We don't have time anymore. I need you to believe you will find the one today."

I raised an eyebrow and then signed, "I know Becks. I just, I want that magic moment."

"You can't control everything Maggie, you're trying to make it happen, not letting it happen." Becca smiled and Anita nodded, squeezing my arm.

"It'll happen Mags, I promise." She smiled at me and I took a deep breath nodding.

"Okay. Let's do this." Becca nodded and opened the door for us so we could walk in. Immediately I felt that overwhelming feeling. So many dresses, so many shades of white and ivory. I bit my lip and held on tighter to Anita.

"How about this? You walk through, instead of having them pick for you. Just let it come to you. The goal is not to grab a lot at first, just maybe one of two." Anita smiled and I nodded.

"Okay. I....I like that idea." I handed her the binder and began walking around the room. I bit my lip as I did, until I found a section that looked like it had soft and flowy dresses. I began looking through them and then started handing them to Becca and Anita as I went. I was happy that the shop owner let me do this, I already felt more in control and less stressed.

After I had gathered five dresses we began the try on process. The first was a sweetheart neckline, with a big fluffy skirt that really just ate my tiny 5'2 frame up. The second was a mermaid lace dress that really hugged my figure perfectly. I knew I looked great in it and when Anita pointed out how good my butt looked, I just heard Harry in my head talking about my bum, and it made me laugh, but it wasn't the one. I went through all the dresses but wasn't satisfied with any.

"Ma'am, I know you wanted to pull your own, but we just got this dress in, from a new brand called Daylily, maybe you would want to try it?" I froze when I heard the name, my heart getting caught in my throat.

"What did you say it's called?" I heard Anita ask and the shop assistant raised an eyebrow.

"Daylily." She smiled a bit and Becca looked at me with wide eyes, answering for me.

"Yeah, she would actually." I bit my lip and nodded, my hand automatically going to my stomach. Anita came over and squeezed my shoulder kissing my cheek as the assistant left to grab the dress.

When she came back, I saw the soft fluffy fabric I had been most attracted too, the bodice was lined with beautiful pearls, and the sleeves were meant to hang off the shoulders like a princess. She placed it in the dressing room, and before I knew it it was slipped on my body. She let out a small gasp, and I looked over my shoulder at her.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's just, it literally fits you like a glove, just have to shorten it a bit. Come look, it's truly beautiful, it's the only one the brand sent over for now." She took my hand and helped me turn around, walking back out.

The moment I walked out Becca gasped, and tears started filling her eyes. She just stared at me, no words being said.

"Maggie, you look so beautiful." Anita said, covering her mouth, her eyes glistening slightly.

I smiled and shook my head, taking a deep breath to face the mirror. I had to close my eyes and open them again, really taking myself in. I felt the moment, it started in my toes and went all the way to the top of my head. I felt the tears come soon after and I couldn't control the way I was feeling. This was the dress, this really was the dress and I couldn't comprehend the irony of it all, how out of all the dresses and designers, this was the one.

My sweet Daylily, thank you.

I thought, knowing wherever that baby angel was, she sent this to me.

"This is the one. This is my wedding dress." I smiled, biting my lip to try and stop the amount of crying I wanted to do.

Harry's POV

I was busy doing my part of the seating chart like I promised Maggie I would, I kept getting the colors she told me to use confused and I had small post it notes stuck to me everywhere as I fixed it.

Maggie walked through the door and took one look at me and started laughing, "Honey, what are you doing?" She giggled and I shrugged.

"It's too many colors Mags." I shrugged and she laughed more, walking over and kissing me softly.

"Here, let me help." She said taking some of the post it's off of me, and shaking her head looking at what I had done so far. In true Maggie fashion, she started moving things around, adding and removing names. As I analyzed her face I noticed it was red like it usually was when she cried.

"You okay baby? Did dress shopping go fine?"

A smiled spread on her face and she nodded, "Yeah, I found the one." She turned to me and blushed a bit. Butterflies filled my stomach at the thought of her in a wedding dress.

"Really?" I smiled and she nodded, tears in her eyes.

"You won't believe the name of the designer." She said softly and I raised a Maggie like eyebrow.

"What is it?"

"Daylily." She chuckled a bit, tears falling from her eyes.

"You're kidding?" I chuckled a bit and she shook her head. I quickly pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just, I can't wait to marry you." She smiled peeking up at me and I leaned down, kissing her lips softly.

"Maggie Styles. Mmm, I can't wait."
