It felt like everything was being blown away by a whirlwind. Days went by so fast as I tried to juggle working and planning a huge engagement party. I don't even know why it should be this grand! I felt like we were already planning the wedding with all the details that we needed to take care of! The venue, food, guests, clothes, ugh! If it were up to me, I should have chosen to celebrate intimately. But I understand that our union will also be beneficial to both our companies. We need to take advantage of the event to broaden our connections even though we don't actually need it anymore. Alistair and Moore's companies were already great on their own, but a possible merger could solidify our success more. "You're gorgeous, honey," mom gushed while staring at my reflection in the mirror.
