"Was Cynthia-Rose right when she said that you'd probably planned your perfect wedding in your head already?" Beca asked curiously as she and Chloe walked hand-in-hand down the alleyway away from The Rubix Bar and back to their apartment.
"Um I guess so, yeah." Chloe said as she walked with a spring in her step, "In my head I envisioned wearing a massive princess-style white meringue dress, I'd arrive in a carriage drawn by six white horses, I'd have ten bridesmaids, a simple church wedding with 100 guests, the photographer would be an ex or current vogue photographer, my white labrador retriever would be ring-bearer, the reception would be at a giant castle by the ocean, and the first dance would be '2 Become 1' by the Spice Girls."
Beca swallowed loudly. That all sounded awful. And expensive. She hadn't thought money would've been too much of a problem but six horses? Was that really necessary?! She knew she'd told herself over and over that whatever Chloe wanted for this wedding Chloe could have, but she may have to draw the line at a horse-drawn carriage. And where the hell were they going to find a castle by the ocean?! "Wow, Cynthia-Rose wasn't lying then." Beca managed to choke out quietly.
"Cynthia-Rose's statement was that I'd probably planned it all out in my head already," Chloe said with a giggle, "and I had. When I was six." And Beca turned to her fiancée, processing what the redhead was saying, "But of course back then I was obsessed with fairytales. I had no awareness of money. And the person I was going to marry was going to be my Prince Charming, the man of my dreams."
"Ah…" Beca said with a smirk, turning her attention to the street ahead of them that they'd just turned left onto.
"But dreams change." Chloe continued happily.
"And sometimes so does the gender of the person you'd envisioned marrying." Beca chimed in, causing Chloe to giggle again.
"True. You're a million times better!" The redhead said sweetly, leaning in to smack a kiss on Beca's cheek. They were both fairly tipsy.
