McKensie and Lara III
Lacey pouted but did hurry back into the closet and got changed quickly, she pulled her hair up out of her face and smiled at Illiana "excited to get married to your dream heir?"Marcoux smiled and clasped him on the back "couldn't have done it without my best friend." He said honestly and checked the mail "oh the girls are going to want to see the Royal invitations we just got, but Illiana is shooing me away for dress planning."
Iliana waited patiently outside the closet for her to change, and when she emerged, she smiled, nodding. "More than excited." She agreed. "Though I never expected I'd marry an heir." She admitted, shaking her head.Maxwell smiled, feeling exactly the same. He peaked over his shoulder at the letters and grinned. "My, aren't those fancy? Very beautiful." He commented, shaking his head. "So your girl is dress planning too. Any ideas on what it might look like?"
Lacey smiled and hugged her "love you, we'll be practically sisters you know! I never thought I'd marry a man I actually love, heir or not" she flushed her cheeks red "I love it...I love being engaged, having someone to always watch over you."Marcoux shrugged and smiled up at his friend "white I assume, we are waiting until after the wedding...I don't know she looks beautiful in her uniform and in Lacey's clothes I don't doubt she'll be a vision...poor babies they are so tired." He snuggled his kits gently.
Iliana smiled softly, as they reached the seamstress's. "We are practically sisters." She agreed. "And your and Maxwell's romance is the sweetest thing ever, I have always thought so." She said seriously, handing over the design to the seamstress and explaining that it would be a wedding dress. "I love being in love too." she told Lacey honestly. Maxwell chuckled, nodding. "Of course." he agreed. Then he smiled softly. "Good for you both, for waiting for the wedding. We were going to… but that didn't really happen…" He said, laughing softly and shaking his head. He walked towards the manor again with him, and when they got inside, he looked around. "Do you have a bed or pen or something to put them in to sleep?" he asked.
The seamstress smiled "Cupid certaintly struck this house Didn't he? This dress is beautiful sweety, are you sure you want it so...plain though? We have the best fabrics and jewels you know?"Marcoux covered his ears "not listeniing to you! I already saw and heard enough thank you..." He smiled at the foxes "they like sleeping with Illiana...so we probably will keep a bed in her room which I guess will be ours!"
Iliana smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Yes he did." She agreed. Then she shook her head. "I don't see it as plain. It's just… elegant in its own simplicity." She restated. "I do want lace on the sleeves though, and lace in the veil. I also would like pearls worked into the veil, and maybe around the sleeves and the fringe of the dress as well?" She suggested. Maxwell laughed shaking his head. "I'm sorry about that… we never intended for you both to see anything." He promised. Then he nodded. "Will you share a room? Or have adjoining suites? I've seen it done both ways." He said, shrugging.
The seamstress smiled lightly and nodded "sounds beautiful, I'll get ready ro make it ok? When is the big day?" Lacey smiled "as soon as possible, it'll be before my wedding though."Marcoux smiled "same room...I want to be in bed with her...I don't like to be alone even now...but I manage. What about you?"
Iliana nodded, glad that the seamstress thought she could do it. "Thank you so much." She said in gratitude. "This really is great of you to do. When should I come back?" She asked. Maxwell nodded in understanding. Right. The panic attacks. "I'll have to ask Lacey about that before anything is decided." He said, smiling softly. "And are you doing ok? With the whole post war stuff?" He asked.
She nodded and smiled at her "pick it up tomorrow darling...it'll be perfect and we'll do a fitting to make sure it fits perfect ok? Do you want a long train?...or a short one? With those cliffs it may be better to keep it shorter and easier.Marcoux nodded "yeah it's better...not perfect but better, Illi is good with me and I only get dreams every other week...wonder how James is doing?...I mean Peince Jameson."
Iliana nodded, thrilled. "Thank you." she said. "I look forward to tomorrow." She said honestly, as she was so happy this all was happening. She nodded in agreement. "I don't know how windy it'll be." She admitted. "Shorter is probably better."Maxwell nodded, smiling gently at him. "I'm glad you're doing better. I was worried about you for a while there." he admitted. Then he shrugged. "I haven't heard from James in a while. In fact, I haven't talked to him in a long time."
Lacey nodded her agreement "it'll be so lovely, how are you going to get pictures? You are going to want pictures of your wedding Illi, you'll want to remember that special day."Marcoux smiled "let's go to the palace and see him! I bet he's bored to death will all those servants and Lydia and the Queen...oh we could go in time for tea, and being the foxes."
Iliana frowned. "I hadn't thought of that." She admitted. "I'll look into a photographer to hire, and hopefully there'll be one available at such short notice." She said, chewing at her lip. "Because it would be nice to have pictures."Maxwell laughed then. "Oh wouldn't that be a scandal! Foxes in the palace! Well I'll be." He shook his head. Then he rubbed his hands together. "Let's do it!"
Lacey smiled "you can use mine Illiana...he's really good and I bet he'd take some great ones." She squealed jumping "ok what are you going to wear for your night with Marcoux?"Marcoux chuckled and got in the carriage as he went to the doors "Sir Marcoux Renaldo Fitzpatrick to see Prince Jamison and Princess Lydia the betrothed.@
Iliana beamed. "Thank you!" She said, giving her a quick hug. "That will make things so much simpler. Hopefully I'll get an album from our wedding." She said, dreaming. Then she blushed. "I didn't know you had to plan what to wear for that!" She said, surprised. James was riding the grounds on his stallion when he saw Marcoux and Maxwell at the gates, and he grinned, galloping over. "No need for the formalities, Marcoux, come on in!" he said, motioning for the guards to open the gates.
Lacey nodded "you want it romantic...I'm wearing a lace corset and see through dressing gown...I mean I plan everything but that's me, you don't have to you don't want pressure on your first night it's just about how you feel together."Marcoux gasped seeing the blindfold off "you can see? Oh my word that's amazing...where is your fiancé? Is she doing alright or is it all wedding talk?"
Iliana nodded, thinking about that. "Well… I would like it romantic… and I want to look nice for him." She said, chewing her lip. "Any suggestions? I really am lost when it comes to all this."James grinned as he dismounted his horse, nodding. "Yeah. I can see. It's really great." He said, walking over. "Lydia's inside right now, discussing things with her bridesmaids, I believe." he said, shrugging. "And yeah, everything is alright, but it is mostly wedding talk."
Lacey nodded and pulled her to the walk in closet and showed her the kimonos and corsets "what about these? I don't know your style im sorry..."Marcoux smiled "how's it like being the Prince? Have you been busy? They are printing posters of you and Lydia that they are selling...girls keep cutting Lydia out." He removed his leg and sighed in relief "feels better..."
Iliana looked around the closet, tapping her fingers to her chin. She pointed to a simple corset that had a ribbon laced through the back, and a black see-through kimono with pink, soft orange, and yellow flowers. "How about these?" She suggested. James shrugged. "It's fun. Lots of responsibility, even more than being an heir, but hey. I've trained my whole life for responsibility, so it isn't that bad." Then he chuckled. "Yeah, quite a few people seem to be heartbroken that I'm engaged." he shook his head. Then he gestured to Marc's leg. "Hows that doing for you?"
Lacey looked at her amazed and smiled "that would be gorgeous, you sure you will be comfortable? I mean sometimes corsets are awful! What if they designed nothing but night clothes?"Marcoux smiled "alright, I'm getting better at it. I can't believe you can see! Do you ever get nightmares still?" They were sitting in the lounge and the foxes had gotten lose without the noticing.
Iliana nodded, smiling. "I'll wear the corset loose. I want Marcoux to be able to get it off." She said, smiling softly. Then she gasped. "Oh wouldn't that be lovely! You should start a business!"James shrugged, leaning back. "I'm glad its doing better for you! And yes, it is quite amazing." then he nodded thoughtfully. "All the time. But they're not as bad anymore. Lydia and I share a room and that helps tremendously." he admitted.
Lacey gasped "no! That would ruin my reputation...it's so scandalous and racey, I'm a lady Illiana! I do wish we could find an alternative for corsets though! They are so uncomfortable." Marcoux smiled "that's nice...the Queen allows that? I mean...she's pretty conservative right? I mean I bet it'll be hard on your wedding night right?"
Lydia came in holding the foxes "these critters were in the wedding cake..."
Iliana shook her head. "Let loose and live a little, Lacey! You could use an alias as your name, and then no one would know!" She took out pieces of paper and started sketching a design. It was a piece that would offer support, but not encase the whole ribcage. "How about this?"James chuckled softly. "Our rooms are adjoining. We are supposed to be sleeping separately, but that rarely happens…" he admitted, shrugging. When Lydia came in with the foxes, James's eyes widened. "Oh honey… I'm so sorry! I can't imagine how they could have gotten in here…"
Lacey flushed and smiled "goodness you are making me blush Illiana! What about something that covers just the breasts? Oh it's so exposed I can't do this I'll go to jail or burn on the stake!"Lydia laufhed "don't worry, they are adorable and I hated that cake, mother is furious but I couldn't stop laughing...oh Maxwell Marcoyx I didn't know you were here!" She lay the foxes down as they licked the icing off themselves."
Iliana grinned. "No, it's a good idea!" She said, and she started drawing something simple. One strap around the back, and straps over the shoulders. "Think this would work?" She asked, showing her the design. James smiled, nodding. "They came to visit." he said. Then he chuckled. "I can imagine how your mother would have reacted…" he said, smiling a little. He knew he couldn't tease his mother in law too much, or she'd get mad at him too. "How on earth did foxes get into the cake though?" He mused, watching the two kits lick each other.
Lacey flushed and nodded "I can't do this Illiana it's so inappropriate! What would we call it Queen Victoria's Secret?" She smiled her face bright red "what if we did though?"Marcoux picked them up "Un they are my babies...and they escaped apparently, sorry about that your highness."
Lydia giggled and looked at James "it's so weird hearing that from our friends...it's just Lydia guys."
Iliana giggled. "That's a great name!" She smiled, putting the drawings together and making a folder. "If we did, we could make some extra money on the side, and get famous. We would start the revolution of fashion!"James raised an eyebrow. Marcoux just called those foxes his babies. "Um… your babies?" He repeated. "Please don't tell me that's what Illiana gave birth to…" He teased, smiling. "Where'd you find them?"
Lacey ahook her head "this is insane Illi! I can't believe we are going to do this...oh my gosh we are like street walkers talking about this...but yet I want to do it so badly!" She handed the folder to the seamstress "can you make this?"Marcoux frowned "why is that weird? The mother was gone so I adopted them and love them...we went on a fox chase and the beagle found them...they are usually well behaved."
Iliana giggled and followed her, nodding. "It'll be fun!" She agreed. The seamstress looked through some of the pictures, and her eyes widened. "My goodness! Now this is something I haven't seen before… I could make them… but do you want to wear them?"Illiana nodded "Oh yes! They would be so much nicer than corsets…"
James smiled at his cousin, shaking his head. "It's not weird. I was teasing, because it is totally you, Marcoux. I find it amusing." He clapped him on the back. "They are quite cute, you know."
Lacey smiled and nodded flushing "you could wear them too, we want to sell them end the torture we get from corsets...begin the freedom!" She said excited and gasped "oh my gosh I feel so naughty!"Marcoux smiled "thank you this is Mila and Shiloh." He nuzzled them as they ran off again.
Lydia smiled at him "thank you for bringing such joy in my morning guys...I honestly hated that cake...it was so gaudy and rich!"
The seamstress smiled then, liking that idea. "Alright. I'm on it girls. You should pick out patterns for your pairs." She said honestly. "I could make matching bottoms." She offered. Illiana beamed. "We could wear them on our wedding nights Lacey!"
James smiled, watching the little foxes trot off down the hallways. "Gaudy and rich, hm?" He repeated. "Well we certainly don't want that. Have you found a cake you like yet?"
Lacey shook her head "it needs to be smaller too...like..." She blushed bright red and drew it out "there's no material here! This is so...awful! But I think the guys may like it more...oh how are we going to see any of these? Policeman will arrest us for nudity!"Lydia sighed "the one I made...but mother says it's too complicated for the chefs...Im trying to stay patient but I will lose it!"
Illiana smiled softly. "The guys will have quite the surprise. I'm sure they'll like it a lot." She agreed. The seamstress grinned. "I'll get right on it. You can come back and try them on tomorrow when Iliana comes to get her wedding dress." She offered. "I think it's a brilliant idea."
James hugged her to him and shook his head. "I thought it tasted wonderful. Just explain it to the chefs, I'm sure they're up for a challenge. Unless you would like to make it yourself?" He asked, wondering what she had in mind.
Lacey smiled "I think we are going to change fashion forever..." She said feeling pretty proud of herself and holding Illiana's hand "what if it was pink lace with sparkles?"Lydia nodded "I know, mother just doesn't want me working with the baby.@
Iliana beamed. "I think so too." She agreed, flushed. This was all so scandalous and absolutely fun!! "Ooooo, that does sound nice!"The seamstress shrugged. "I'll try that! And maybe a few other patterns as well..."
James nodded, squeezing her hand. "I know baby, and neither do I, but if you want to and you're up for it..." He kissed her cheek. "Then no one is stopping you."
Lacey nodded and smiled "I want slight see-through black lace but I don't just want it to cover the breasts I want it to be like a small dress to the waist just light and flowing." She drew out the ideas and smiled "covers the scar but it's not painful like a corset." She was very subconscious about that scar.Maxwell and Marcoux looked at eachother and smiled "congratulations on the child! I couldn't even tell to be honest, is that why the rush on the wedding?"
Lydia smiled and say by James nodding "that way the math will be accurate and no one scandalous...it's harder to hide it lately..."
The seamstress nodded. "Sounds good!" She said, pulling out a long cut of black lace to use. "I'll get right on both of your projects." She promised. Iliana beamed. "Oh my. We're going to have to try on all these things… we'll look so ravashing…"
James smiled softly, putting his arm around Lydia's shoulders. "You're still gorgeous babe." he whispered, kissing her cheek. Then he smiled at both his friends. "And I heard both you are busy with weddings as well. Is this true?"
Lacey smiled and nodded hugging her best friend "how would we see these? Show our lady friends and say this lady is the best? Would other girls be as open?" She smiled going through the drawings "our husbands will be shocked."Marcoux smiled and nodded "We are getting married this weekend on the chalk cliffs...it'll be beautiful and Max well his wedding is all planned out by Lacey."
Iliana nodded. "We could suggest them to some ladies, tell them to spread the word. We could act surprised at how wonderful they are, and then give them a business card or something. What will we be called?" Then she laughed. "Yes, they will be."James grinned then. "That is such wonderful news!" He exclaimed. "My… That is quite exciting. And what a lovely place to get married." He chuckled, shaking his head. "Typical Lacey. I'll have to tell her to ease up on you a little."
Lacey smiled "I really liked Queen Victoria's Secret...the name is sassy and yet elegant." She smiled at the seamstress "can you spread the word as well? We don't want anyone to know its us though...can you keep it quiet?"Marcoux chuckled and nodded "please do...she's turning Illiana into a mini control freak! Will you be there at the wedding James and Lydia? I know it's hard with being Royal but you are her brother."
Iliana nodded. "Then that's what we'll use. We can send out greeting cards to tell people about it as well."The seamstress nodded, smiling at them both. "For sure! You can count on me!" She promised, before getting back to work at stitching.
James laughed softly. "Yes, I'll talk to her, don't worry." Then he nodded, "Of course. I'll definitely be there." He promised. "I wouldn't miss either of your weddings for the world." He said seriously.
Lacey smiled "wow, we will be business women earning money and helping our husbands out..." She felt a twinge of tightness in her stomach and frowned "that's odd, I need to eat more..."Marcoyx flushed "I'm sorry about this...but Illiana and I are having a private wedding just the two of us...I love all of you but this is what we want..."
Iliana nodded, "The first industrious women in all of the United Kingdom, and we will start a revolution!" She beamed. Then her smile lessened a little. "You ok dear?" she asked, leading her back to the kitchens where she got her a drink and a piece of leftover bread. James chuckled. "Secret wedding eh? That should be fun." He patted him on the back. "Take some pictures to show me at least, ok? And hopefully you both have a great time."
Lacey nodded "mhmm just feel odd down there, like tight and fluttery." She said and munched on the bread and sipped the water "maybe it's from the surgery? Oh I haven't shown you your bridesmaid dress!"Marcoux nodded and smiled "so a big Royal wedding! Are you guys freaking our? The whole kingdom will be watching you...talk about intimidating!"
Iliana shrugged, "Maybe." She agreed, sitting beside her friend as she ate. Then she beamed. "No, I haven't seen it yet. What does it look like? What colour is it?" She asked, eager to see what she would be wearing. James chuckled and nodded, raking a hand through his hair. "It's quite the huge deal… still getting used to all of it." he admitted. "It's quite a lot to do and see all at once, but it's been good." he squeezed Lydia's hand.
Lacey smiled and led her back to her room and pulled out the light Rose dress and smiled "either this color or gold? Which do you like better?" She smiled and showed her the jewerly "what do you think?"Marcoux smiled and heard the queen's shriek "uh oh...those are the kids..." He ran to find the Queen "your majesty I am so sorry, they are very tame and loving. They won't hurt anyone."
Iliana gasped, running her fingers over the fabric. "It's gorgeous! And gold would go with it as well… I think I like the rose colour though." She said, fawning over the beautiful thing. Then she moved to the jewels. "Oh Lacey! They're so perfect. They fit your dress and you, perfectly." The queen was staring at the two ice-cream covered pups in horror. "What on earth are they doing in the palace!? And in my cake!" She shuddered. "Wild animals have no place in a palace, my dear man, please keep them on a leash, or keep them out!" She shook her head, muttering about kids these days, and how they were fascinated with the most bizarre things, foxes of all animals!
Lacey laughed "Illi these are for you darling...all the brides maids get them. It goes really nice with the pink and golden dresses...and it isn't that many girls. Maxwell may lose his mind if he finds out how much I am spending on this wedding."Marcoux shook his head "I am so sorry your majesty! They would apologize if they could...I'll take them right home. We just wanted to see our good friends."
Iliana gasped, and she shook her head. "For me?" She gingerly took the jewellery. "My goodness Lacey. Thank you! This will be an amazing wedding." She said, thrilled. "I didn't even imagine that these might be for me…"The queen nodded, harrumphing, and dismissed him with a wave of her hand, walking off down the hallway. "Nice to see you." She said simply.
James smiled softly. "I see you got stopped by my soon to be mother in law…"
Lacey smiled and nodded and helped her with hair pulling it up "gorgeous..." She huggec her again and laughed "we are going to get married! Can you believe it?" she flashed her ring and smiled but then her face changed to discomfort "there is it again.."Marcoux bit his lip "lovely woman...I better get home, Illiana probably misses the foxes and hopefully me...and Lacey is probably needing you to try on tuxes or something."
Maxwell nodded, understanding his friend sometimes, and other times, realizing it was alright to be different and not understand him at all. He clapped him on the back. "I think it's awesome that you own up to it man. As long as you're happy with who you are. I really think it's cute, the both of you."
