"I want to be a grandma soon, while people can still say I look too young for it."Cassandra interjected, flashing a smile at me, "Why not get married next month, Jasper?"I was taken aback. I had been procrastinating in case Cassandra changed her mind. I wanted her to have the freedom to do so."Are you sure?" I asked."Yes," she replied.That settled it. We would be getting married exactly a month from now. Alex and Kenny cheered loudly until my mother quieted them down.As we gathered around the table, Mom pulled out a notebook and a pen and began writing a to-do list. Our conversation revolved around the wedding venue when suddenly the doorbell interrupted us. I rushed to answer it, only to find my old friend David standing there."Hey! Perfect timing!" I exclaimed."You've forgotten all about me ever since you got engaged," David replied."Sorry, man, it's been a crazy time," I said apologetically."Sure, sure," he responded as he entered the house. "So what's going on? I hear w

Cassandra stepped down from the car, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and we drove off, giggling like teenagers. "Who was that guy?" I asked curiously."Brian," she replied dismissively. "My insensitive ex-boyfriend.""He seemed pretty bitter about losing you, though," I remarked."He doesn't have a chance," she said confidently. "I've found a much better man, and he'll never find anyone better than me.""Very true," I said, grinning from ear to ear.Upon arriving home, Cassandra immediately set to work cleaning the spare room in preparation for any unexpected visitors. She had plans to meet with Jane to discuss their ideas for designing the bridesmaids' dresses, which brought her great joy. Meanwhile, I changed into my night clothes, feeling wryly amused by her excitement as I still had yet to decide on a best man for the wedding.As we settled into bed, Cassandra crept close to me, laying her head on my shoulder and draping an arm across my chest. I smiled and kissed her foreh

Our personalities were opposites - I was ying, and he was yang. But together, we complemented each other perfectly, and that was all that mattered. Jasper , my current partner, was the complete antithesis of the player I had initially encountered at the park. He was kind, considerate, and utterly devoted.Interrupting my thoughts, Kenny jolted me back to reality, "What are you smiling about?" I blushed and looked up, "Nothing."Jane chimed in, "Let me guess, have you guys gotten to third base?""Jane! No, we haven't," I replied."Seriously?" Kenny asked incredulously."Yes," I confirmed."Why not?" he pressed."I wanted to wait," I explained."Ha! You were born in the wrong century, Sandy. You should've been born in Victorian times!" Kenny teased."Very funny, Kenny," I replied dryly, giving Jane a disapproving look.Eventually, we arrived at a jeweler's shop, and Jane volunteered to stay in the car while Kenny and I went inside. As soon as we entered, the sales team swarmed around us

We drove for about twenty minutes before arriving at Fabien's shop. As we entered, a kind-looking elderly man greeted us warmly, "Welcome!" he exclaimed while smiling at me. His smile was so contagious, I couldn't help but beam back at him.We spent the next hour being measured and fitted for the boys' new suits. As the tailor was taking Alex's measurements, he accidentally cupped Alex. We all burst into laughter, causing tears to stream down our faces, much to Alex's annoyance.Alex's face turned red as he exclaimed, "Everyone, be quiet!" However, Jasper was still giggling and managed to say, "But it was hilarious." Alex replied, "Maybe for you, but not for me!" Meanwhile, Kenny and I were trying to regain our composure, laughing uncontrollably. I held onto my stomach and tried to catch my breath, while Alex glared at me. Jasper had chosen a classic black suit and gave Fabien specific instructions on how he wanted it tailored. As we were leaving, Fabien turned to Jasper and remark

"I get it," Adriana said, nodding in understanding.Sean chimed in, "Jasper, be ready at 9:00 pm, we'll pick you up then. And Cassandra , be ready at 8 pm, we'll come a little earlier for you.""Okay," we both agreed.After eating breakfast together, everyone left. Jasper went to work, and I began my daily routine. I had applied to the university for a course in interior design, which would start two months after our wedding.Excitement coursed through me as I contemplated my new identity as Mrs. Cassandra Jasper Benson. The mere thought of it made me smile and embrace my pillow. The name had a pleasant ring to it. Feeling buoyed by my newfound happiness, I reached for my phone and dialed the old-folks home to inquire about my mother's well-being.According to the matron, my mother had been doing reasonably well, although her lucid moments were becoming increasingly infrequent. Although I was somewhat disappointed by this news, it wasn't unexpected since Alzheimer's patients seldom e
