Chapter 790 - Wedding party (J&J) (3)

It didn't take long before Heather and Julia started summoning wedding party members and family to come back to the beach. It's time for the photos!

Of course, Jeff and JoAnna had no intention to take photos with all the guests. They were interested in having photos done with their closest friends and family only.

However, no matter how discretely Heather and Julia were, some people noticed that the main characters in this wedding are heading toward the beach, so they followed.

Luckily, the two wedding planners anticipated this, and they had a rope barrier set up to keep the onlookers at a distance.

Security made sure that everyone stays behind the barrier and few people who complained because they don't get a chance for a photo kept quiet after a gentle warning. Security did a great job.

For this occasion, they hired a real (human) photographer.

When Jeff and JoAnna reached the beach, they were pleasantly surprised to see that all the seating from the ceremony was removed, sand was leveled, and elegant flower arrangements were set up to provide a romantic backdrop.

JoAnna and Jeff took photos with their bridesmaids and groomsmen, extended family, parents and grandparents, only parents, only grandparents, only Jasper and Ellie (best man and maid of honor), only Steve and Bridgette (their assistants), Julie and Heather wanted a snap or two as well… serious ones, silly-faced… it seems that number of combinations was endless. But the photographer they hired is a professional, very experienced, and everything went fast.

JoAnna was excited when most of the people dispersed and it was only our team of six waiting for few final shots. She was looking forward to taking photos with her sisters only the most, and also… it meant that this photo-session is about to end.

With elders leaving the photo shoot, number of onlookers left as well. But not Madison. Her eyes were fixed at the three young women in front of her, while trying to figure out: why are three of them so close? And now that Sophia and Sarah are standing next to JoAnna she could clearly see that they look alike quite a bit. Madison was enlightened when she heard JoAnna's cry: 'sister's hug!' Suddenly all the pieces fell into place: Aiden's date is the youngest one (Sarah) and other two are her sisters. To both of them she announced her claim on Aiden and after that those two were… mean to her. Now she understands why… because they are sisters! Madison gritted her teeth while trying to suppress her anger. Do those two sisters think that they can bully her out of pursuing Aiden? They should think again! Madison's heart almost stopped when she saw Jeff, Aiden and Felix join in for the photo… she was not able to accept how affectionate those three couples are, especially Aiden and Sarah! Rage was boiling her insides… that is supposed to be her in Aiden's embrace! But she could not look away.

Kyra also heard JoAnna's cry: 'sister's hug!' and nodded in understanding. She was wondering what is the connection between those three young women. And now she confirmed that they are sisters! Kyra was not sure at this point what she can do with this information. If nothing else, it is troublesome because it means that she can't turn them against each other… at least not easily.

Sophia, JoAnna and Sarah left the beach together after exchanging some whispers with Felix, Jeff and Aiden. Guys went back to the party, while girls headed to the main building.

Madison thought of going after Sarah. After all, she wants to confront that bitch and put her in her place! And she can't do that with Aiden around. But she can't do that with those two sisters either… she will wait for her chance to catch Sarah by herself. The party just started.

In the temporary design studio…

"Ah, this dress is lovely, but constricting.", Sarah sighed when she removed her bridesmaid's dress.

Ellie's design assistants helped Hill sisters change from their 'wedding outfits' into 'wedding party outfits' which Ellie prepared for three sisters.

Other bridesmaids changed already, since they finished with their photoshoot earlier. Hair and makeup artists helped all the girls to get appropriate styling to match their different outfits.

JoAnna could not suppress her smile when she looked at herself in the mirror. Her sleeveless satin cocktail dress with flared high-low skirt, and a scooped back fits her perfectly. Of course, just like any other EY design, the white turns into blush pink depending on the light angle while sash around her waist turns from blush pink to white. Besides delicate embroidery along the bottom few inches of the skirt, the dress is simple, yet breathtaking.

"WOW! You are so lucky to have Ellie as your maid-of-honor. She gave you that gorgeous wedding dress and this masterpiece as presents. And you look amazing!", Sophia could not hide her excitement at the sight of the elegant dress which perfectly fit JoAnna.

JoAnna laughed. "You got dresses also, not just me!"

Sophia had to agree with this. Her knee length chiffon dress has a sash high above waist, accentuating her chest and leaving space for the belly. Chocolate brown color changes into fiery red as light hits it at the right angle, making the dress look like it's on fire! But…"No matter what I wear, lately I look like a whale.", Sophia pouted.

JoAnna laughed. "You still have few more months to go. It's early to call yourself a whale… And if you move so much, it will take forever to redo your hair.", JoAnna reminded Sophia that a hairstylist is working on her hair.

"Remind me to make Ellie my maid-of-honor! Her creations are to-die-for!" Sarah happily twirled on her toes, confirming that her just-above-knees chiffon skirt makes a full circle. This is perfect for dancing! Flawlessly fitting top hugs her neck with beaded diamonds and continues with intricate embroidery up to her slim waist where diamond-filled waistline separates bodice from a flowy skirt. Sarah loves that the dress is black, and it shimmers in dark green.

She is happy with her updated hairstyle as well: the ribbons are gone, and her hair is pulled into a tight braided bun, speckled with diamonds which match the ones on the dress.

The makeup artist made sure to change previous natural light dreamy colors with smoky eyes and bolder rose lipstick which is more appropriate for evening. Makeup artist-lady was convincing Sarah that this is one of those 24 hour waterproof lipsticks, guaranteed to last until end of the evening, and Sarah only smiled in response while thinking that it will be close to a miracle if it lasts more than five minutes with Aiden around.
