Here comes the bride...

I was in a building with a lot of people when I go to the bathroom to freshen up. All of a sudden I realize that I'm actually getting ready for my wedding. I'm doing my own hair and makeup, and I'm frustrated with the results. A woman comes in who I think is going to help me, but she's just there to get ready herself. I start to get a little anxious as I realize that I'm already running late, but my hair is getting frizzier and frizzier. I originally put it up in a pony tail, but when I look in the mirror I see that my hair is down and I have bangs. The crowd is getting restless. There is now a window between me and them. I can see that most have turned around in their seats and are watching me. I also recognize the room as my grandparent's church. I find some hair serum and run it through my hair. I then give up and head to the door where everyone is looking at me. My mom whispers for me to go to the back to meet my father. I say something about that's what a wedding planner is for. I'm embarrassed already at how my wedding is turning out, and I have no bridesmaids.

At this point I'm starting to wake up, but I want to know who the groom is - so I try to fall back into my dream.

I meet my father, and he prays over me before we begin.

I wake up again, and I never saw who the groom was.
