Instead of trying (and failing) to write this part as one big story, I broke it down into snippets, each one focusing on an event from that week.
While probably not the best way to write a story, it was the only way i felt i could get it across with out needless padding or drawing scenes out to long, so here we are, counting down week by week till the day.
Enjoy.

Week 6
Patti slowly made her way to the kitchen, it was late at night and Gir hadn’t come to bed yet. She entered the kitchen and stoped, blinking at the unfamiliar sight of Gir surrounded by a small forest of books, pamphlets and magazines, making notes on a near by scrap of paper.
Walking over she lent over Gir’s shoulder. “What are you doing there?”
Looking up Gir smiled and put her pen down and replied in a slightly tired tone. “Wedding plans, been up most of the night getting some details down.”
Patti looked over and slowly registered several note pads, each sprouting several book marks. “You planed the whole wedding?” she asked some what disbelieving as she picked one up and flipped through it, listings of prices for cakes, dresses and catering, all in some form of organised chaos.
Yawning Gir lent back and rested her head on Patti’s stomach. “Well yeah, it’s been over a year since you popped the question, so I started getting as much organised as I could.”
Looking down at the beaming face Patti could only stand there slack jaw, some how with out her noticing Gir had managed to organise damn near everything… all that was missing was the date…
As if reading her mind, Gir asked that very question. “Soooo, we got a date yet? It would make the invites a bit easier to do and that.”
Mind whirling, Patti spat out the first date to come to mind. “29 April.”
Grinning Gir pulled out her phone.
“Err… what are you doing?”
“Well, when I said I had almost everything ready, I meant it, just got to check for a chapel and that now.”
“But that stuff takes months to plan! The waiting list for churches is going to be huge!”
Grinning, Gir spun in her seat to face Patti. “Normally, but there’s not a single wedding going to be on that day. After all, who’s going to get married the same day that the crown prince of England is?” getting up she started dialing.
“Now I just got to make some calls.” She gave Patti a quick hug before walking out of the room. “Hey Jeena, it’s Gir… hee hee, I know it’s been a while but still want to be a brides maid?”
As Gir wandered off, Patti slowly sat at the table, her mind slowly wrapping around the fact that in a few weeks, she was going to get married.
“I think I need a drink…” muttering to her self, she made her way back to the bed room.
