#romantic half up wedding hairstyles

[royal-confessions]

“Princess Madeleine's wedding look was not my favorite but her dress is. Yeah, the sleeves were falling off, but aside from that the dress was so beautiful and romantic. I wish she'd gone with different hairstyle and tiara and veil tho, those ruined the whole look for me. I think the Laurel Leaf tiara on a half up-half down hair would have looked better, or she could have opted out of wearing a tiara and gone for a mantilla veil instead to drive home the romantic feel of the dress.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Emma took a final glance in the mirror in the captain's quarters. How long Killian had been holding onto a piratesque outfit that was conveniently a perfect fit for her was beyond her understanding, but she cut quite the figure in it. The shirt was white, cut low, and it paired with a flowing black skirt with a side slit cut almost too high. There's nothing too incredibly piratey about that, but when matched with a jeweled belt, a few jeweled bracelets, and mismatched earrings- as well as a hairstyle that Emma felt fell somewhere between Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann- the overall effect was, well, rather piratesque.

 As soon as David had heard about Hook and Emma's plan to visit the Enchanted Forest, he'd made sure Emma was well equipped with the finest sword- who knew her dad's overprotective nature could be so cool sometimes?- and she slid the sword into the sheath in her belt, completing the whole ensemble.

 She walked down the ship's hallway to the top deck, stepping through the hatch into the sunlight. Once she was topside, she made her way up the stairs to the top deck, where her husband stood at the wheel.

 Traditionally in this realm, he'd wear his captain's jacket, but apparently the day was warm enough that he felt the need to forego it, wearing instead simply his his leather pants and a black button down shirt- half the buttons unbuttoned, of course, but Emma didn't expect anything less from him.

 She was a bit taken aback at how at peace he looked, falling in love even more with him just simply seeing him in his element, at home at the helm. How she’d managed to land the hottest pirate in all the realms was still a mystery to her, but she counted herself fortunate to have done so.

 His tranquil moment was interrupted by her presence, but in the way chocolate chips interrupt a batch of cookies, or the way the bloopers interrupt the end credits- like that moment was merely a vessel for her arrival. He turned to her with a dazzling smile, but when he saw her it fell into an awestruck one, eyes widening, jaw dropping.

 He looked at her like he'd been looking for her all of his life- and wasn't about to lose her, like she was a typhoon and he was ready to be devastated, like she was his light and world.

 Emma blushed a little as she realized that he was looking at her, looking at her again like she was everything he ever wanted, ever needed. She glanced down at her shoes, wondering what Killian thought of her new look- but she quickly realized she didn't need to read his mind to know she had him wrapped around her little finger right now- and she may as well have a little fun with it.

 She walked up to him and placed her hand and chin on his shoulders, whispering in his ear even though they were the only ones around.

 "Smooth sailing today, captain?" She asked.

 His eyes were still glued to her, and he blinked a few times and nodded in response, then swallowed the lump in his throat.

 "Aye, love," he said, breathlessly, and stepped back so he could see her whole form better, "Gosh, Swan."

 "Something catch your eye, captain?" She smiled a little and winked.

 He shook his head, smile so wide and breath so heavy a laugh followed it.

 "I wish, I, I don't have the words- not the ones you deserve. Any attempt I could make to convey your beauty to you with my feeble words would be an insult, a cheap apparation reflected against rough waters." He took a step back closer to her, and touched her chin, lifting her head, almost as though he was unsure she was real.

 Emma didn't know how to respond to that besides blushing and placing her hand on his wrist, her other hand on his face.

 "I love you." He said, "I love you. I love you. I love you. No matter how many times I say it, it still doesn't feel like enough."

 "I know what you mean." Emma smiled, "I love you too, Killian. I love you more than words can say."

 He smiled, blushing a little. "Maybe… maybe we could use our lips for more than just words then?"

 "I'd like that."

 "Oh, thank heavens." He smiled, "I couldn't bear another second."

 His response was rushed, as he wasn't usually a man of few words, but his passion seemed to overtake him, and he threw his arms around her as his lips met hers. He held her tightly, her hands on his chest, his hand and hook chasing each other across her back and her side.

 She slid her hands down his shirt, then under his shirt, and up his back, tracing patterns in his skin like ancient runes.

 "Oh," he breathed down her throat "oh, oh, yes, love."

 "Your shirt would be off by now if we were below deck." Emma teased.

 "Then what are we doing up here?" He asked, and she squealed a little as he picked her up.

 "Shouldn't someone be at the wheel?" Emma asked, draping one of her arms around his neck, "You ordered the men to stay below decks so we can have the topside to ourselves."

 "I can call them back up here." Killian said, and he began kissing her again, still holding her in his arms.

 "There'll be plenty of time for that tonight." Emma pulled back. "I'd still like lessons in steering your ship before we next make port."

 "As you wish." He sighed and rolled his eyes as he set her down gently in front of the wheel.

 "Now," and he turned her around, taking her hands in his hand and hook, and placing them on the pegs of the wheel, guiding her arms with his, "steering a ship isn't much different from driving a car- turn the wheel portside, go portside, turn it starboardside," and he shifted the wheel in their arms a little, "go starboardside."

 "Sounds simple enough"

 "The difference between this vessel and your yellow bug though is that, while the dangers of a car involve speed, the danger of a ship comes in its size, making it hard to maneuver. You need to think a few steps ahead, and watch the horizon."

 "Got it." Emma nodded.

 "And you also have to make sure you don't get off course." He took his hand off the wheel a second to gesture with it, then placed it on Emma's hand. "We're heading due north, but if we veer from our course half a hook breadth, we could find ourselves miles off course in half an hour."

 Emma looked down at the compass on the "dashboard." (Killian had never told her what that part of the ship was called, but since the steering wheel was mounted onto it, it only made sense to refer to it as such to herself.)

 "Looks like we're a little off course."

 "Aye, love." Killian said. "You catch on quick."

 "I've got a good teacher."

 They turned the wheel together and set themselves back on course.

 "Think you're ready to steer it on your own?" Killian asked.

 "Yeah." Emma said, "I think I got it."

 He took his hands off hers and placed his right hand on her shoulder, his thumb resting on her collarbone, on the bare skin her wide-cut shirt revealed. His hook rested on her side.

 "This is nice." Emma said. "Almost soothing."

 "Aye." Killian smiled. "I've spent many a year staring out at these very seas, across the deck of this very ship, hoping the waters could smooth and erode the rough edges of a hole in my heart I thought could only be filled with revenge." He chuckled a little. "But it turns out all I needed was love- for someone to see the darkness I reveled in and encourage me to pull myself back into the light."

 "That's what I needed too." Emma said. "I had a hole in my heart- lost love, and parents, and friends- and I chose to fill it by blocking it off and pretending it wasn't there. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't've stayed in Storybrooke."

 "Neither would I without you." He said. "I may have helped you realize you had a home, but you, you gave me a home. Thank you."

 "You're welcome."

 She felt his lips on the top of her head, then his hand gently massaging her shoulder.

 "That's good." She nodded and smiled and bit her lip.

 "Manning the helm can often leave one sore." He said, "Especially for those less experienced. A good shoulder rub can help. I only wish…"

 She thought she felt his hook leave her side and turned down to see if it had, then followed it with her eyes to where he looked down at it in shame.

 "Killian," she said, taking her hands off the wheel and placing them on his hook, "I love you just as you are. You know that, right?"

 "Be honest. Would you love me more…"

 "Hook." She said. "That's the only name I knew you by for so long, and before I met you, Captain Hook was some cartoon fool, some guy always getting chased around by a crocodile or something- but you, you're a hero, my hero."

 She pulled his arm closer, placing his hook over her heart. "Now, when I hear the word 'hook,' I think of a man who sacrifices, who fights for those he loves, who's not gonna back down in the face of any fear. This hook is a reminder that you loved someone so passionately you were willing to sacrifice for them- that no matter what, deep down, you're always the man I fell in love with, the one who fights for true love.

 "So, no." Emma said, holding his hook as naturally as though it were his hand, "I wouldn't love you more if you had a second hand- I can't love you any more than I already do- I love you, hook and all," and she brought his hook to her lips and kissed it as a knight might when meeting a fair maiden, "and don't you forget it."

 He pulled her hands to his lips with his hook and nodded, then kissed both her hands. He then swung his arm over her head and she followed it, now facing the wheel again.

 Emma turned the wheel again, as they'd strayed a hair off course, and Hook placed his hand on her shoulder again, this time a little closer to her neck, more of his fingers on her bare skin.

 And as Emma stood there, dressed as a pirate at the helm of a ship, her hot pirate husband rubbing her shoulder, nothing around but them and open sea, she thought to herself that nothing, nothing, could be more perfect than that quiet moment together- and then she realized she was wrong, because the moment somehow became even more perfect, because, ever so softly, but sweetly, and deeply, Killian began singing.

 It wasn't a song Emma knew, and it didn't sound like any shanty she was familiar with, melody like a lullaby and lyrics like a lovesong- but she ignored the "forest," the words he sang, for the "trees," for how the notes dripped from his lips, like crashing waves against the beach, like her own personal symphony.

 She sighed and leaned back a little, resting her head on his chest and smiling at up at him. His hook brushed her hair out of her face so he could see her more clearly, and his hand trickled across her shoulder, then down her side, then around her waist, resting on her other side, thumb stroking her waist slowly, with the tempo of his song. He wrapped his left arm around her as well, arms crossed near her heart- much like how a pirate buries treasure under an "X," Emma found herself buried under his embrace.

Wayne Girls AU, that was Bruce with Rachel and Janis. Especially Rachel.

Grown man had to hype himself up when it was time to lay down the law. Couldn’t stand to have any of them be upset with him. Alfred had to stand guard to make sure he didn’t go back on any of his groundings.

Diana getting a crash course in Girl Dad™️ when Batman had to lecture Robin. The man was close to sobbing into his hands after Robin ran out of the room crying “You’re breaking my heart, Daddy.”

Diana: You’re the parent, is it not normal to discipline one’s child?

Bruce: You don’t understand, she’s mad at me. She won’t want to talk to me now.

Diana: I see, so men are the weaker parent.

Bruce taking Cosmetology classes when he first gets Rachel to make sure that he’s able to do her hair. Brucie Wayne might be a ditzy himbo but his little girls are gonna be rocking the cutest hairstyle anytime they leave the house. Braids, updos, ponytails, bows, clips and ribbons he has it all mastered.

Bruce buying those child alarms that are popular in Japan for all of his girls when they first start as Robin as a precaution. They all get a case of bedazzled pepper spray for a gift at least once.

Bruce having a slight fear of when the girls decide to band together for a common goal that’s not for the greater good. Either he’s gonna get played, someone will have their self esteem destroyed, half a city will be on fire, someone will get robbed, and/or all of the above.

Bruce joking that Carter is his favorite cause he finally has a bro to talk to in the house. But really it’s cause Carter won’t roast him as maniacally when he does or wears something corny.

While all the Robins are quick witted and can talk smack, Janis was the most vicious one. She never lets anyone get the first or final word, any kind of fight she made sure to win, always making sure no one saw any weakness. She was a literature/theater nerd she had a talent with prose and word play.

Though it was never directed at anyone she viewed as defenseless or vulnerable. She tried to be the symbol of strength and protection that Robin was to her.

Tabitha being the best liar of the whole family, cause that’s just how kids with strict parents grow up to be. Can and has gotten away with lying to Superman. Could probably get away with murder but won’t cause then she’ll let Rachel down. Struggles with living up to the image of being a “Good Girl” and her actual thoughts, wants, and needs. Janis jokes that Beth’s anxiety and people pleasing issues are the only things keeping her from taking over the world.

Rachel having conflicted feelings of being settling down and having a family. Not wanting to be tied down so soon but being worried she’ll miss her window. Unsure if she’ll be willing for perform any more emotional labor for more people especially since some days it seems like her sibling will always need her on speed dial. Flip flopping between adopting or wanting to experience pregnancy.

Dami growing up with love advice that basically sums up to “Communication is key” and “Dump him” but each sister was a different interpretation for each situation that she might as well just flip a coin. Janis, a true Jane Austen die hard, maintaining that romantic outlook for her Mister Darcy but is sadly less self reflective than Lizzie.

Alfred being worried that none of the girls will have a traditional wedding but still having a dream wedding journal for each one if the time ever came. He’d be a terrifying drill master to make sure the day went perfectly but it’s all with good intentions.

Bruce having no conscious desire for grandkids cause his babies should stay his babies. But once he gets that first grand baby it’s like he fell in love all over again. All his grandkids are his best friends and he’s their “Grand B/Paw Paw/Grandaddy.”

Sorry I've had this saved in my ask forever bc I keep rereading it because it's always so much Fun when someone engages with your dumb, indulgent AU.

Bruce is, at the same time, both a stricter but also more permissive parent with the girls. You're So Right that he hates when they're mad at him and dotes a bit more on them than he did with the boys. But at the same time he is bound and determined not to make a big deal of the fact that he has daughters, that they're just as capable as sons. He stood up so much for Rachel when she first started as Robin, justifying her skills and making sure no one thought less of her. For all the fights and struggles the kids have with B over the years, they never forget that he supports them 100% and never treats them as less.

I also love exploring the relationship each of the Robins has with their femininity. Rachel came to the Manor way more girly, she was used to parading around the circus in dresses and with pretty accessories. Growing up the adopted daughter of a wealthy billionaire, not to mention becoming the first young sidekick, not to mention female sidekick, made her dial back to be take seriously. Plus as she grew into a beauty it soon became uncomfortable at times to express herself that way. Janis was a Tomboy and saw it as a weakness which is just another point of contention when Beth comes in as (seemingly) a sweet princess. Beth was raised to be a pretty, thoughtless thing so her combining her rougher, more practical side with the fun frivolities of being feminine is about her claiming herself and not what others want to make of her. By the time Dami comes along, there's a whole spectrum and femininity around and she's able to decide what amount works for her.

Tabitha is the first to marry but Janis is the first to have (ie adopt) kids and Bruce, who was so stoic with his kids, just melts for his grandkids. He loves his daughters so much, respects them but also fears them bc of how capable they are a) as vigilantes and b) at manipulating the hell out of him. Beth will turn on her big sad eyes, Rachel will shyly twirl her hair, Dami will bite her lower lip and he will do Anything. The JLA makes fun of him but they're not much better when the Bats use their evil powers on them.

basics.

NAME: anissa saidi. PRONOUNS: she/her. AGE: thirty-one. BIRTH DATE: june 19th, 1991. BIRTH PLACE: dar es salaam, tanzania. HOMETOWN: peachtree, georgia. CURRENT RESIDENCE: lakeview, louisiana. NATIONALITY: american. ETHNICITY: tanzanian / french. RELIGION: agnostic. OCCUPATION: author. LANGUAGES: (fluent) swahili, (fluent) english, (conversational) french SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual. ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: panromantic.

visual.

FACECLAIM: vanessa morgan. EYE COLOR: dark brown. HAIR COLOR: dark brown. HAIRSTYLE: long, wavy or straight depending on the day HEIGHT: 5 feet, 2 inch. WEIGHT: 132 pounds. TATTOOS: none. PIERCINGS: ears. NOTABLE TRAITS: n/a.

background.

anissa's birth was one for the books. her mother actually had no idea that she was pregnant until she went into labor with her - a very, very uncommon and rare occurrence. both of her parents were under the impression that her mother couldn't have children, especially because they had tried on so many occasions. they were actually on vacation in tanzania, where her mother was from, for their fifth wedding anniversary when her mother went into labor in their hotel room. three hours, an ambulance ride and lots of screaming later, anissa was placed in her mother's arms for the first time.

after they got the legalities of everything in order, anissa's parents brought her back to georgia, where they lived, and settled down in their town of peachtree. anissa lived in peachtree for the majority of her life, and she loved it there.

her parents' marriage fell apart shortly after she was born, and by the time she was two years old, they were divorced. the reasoning? her father had been cheating on her mother for several years and had another secret child behind her back - anissa's half sibling. (will be sending in a wanted connection for that!)

as she grew up, she discovered her love of literature and writing from a very young age. she would join writing competitions and win national competitions for the short stories that she wrote. she eventually went on to attend yale university (on a scholarship; her parents could not afford to send her there on their own) and got her degree in english literature.

after graduating from yale with her degree, she almost immediately moved to lakeview to take care of her grandfather after her grandmother passed away. she always had a close relationship with her grandparents, so she didn't really mind taking care of him in his old age.

unfortunately, her grandfather passed away a year ago and left behind his home to her, which she has pretty much taken over as her own.

her first published work, by some stroke of luck, hit the bestseller's list, and she's had success with her multiple book series' ever since then. she tends to write fiction and fantasy for the most part, something that reaches a wide audience of people. she takes her writing very seriously, and hopes that someday one of her series gets picked up by a network or production company and made into a movie or tv show.

she has a little bit of a temper, something that she gets from her mother. although she tries to rein it in as much as possible, but it can be out of her control sometimes. however when she cools down, she almost always usually apologizes to whoever she blew up on.

Matching Couture Wedding Dresses with the Perfect Hairstyle

Every bride envisions herself looking flawless on her wedding day—a harmonious blend of gown, hair, and details. Couture wedding dresses are the ultimate in luxury bridal fashion, offering an elevated sense of style that’s both heirloom-worthy and unforgettable. But as any bride-to-be knows, it’s not just the dress that completes the look—hairstyles play a key role in enhancing the overall effect.

So, how does a trendy bride of 2024 choose the perfect hairstyle to complement a couture wedding dress? The answer lies in balancing the gown’s design with a hairdo that elevates and completes the vision. Here’s a guide to pairing some of Andrea & Leo's most luxurious couture wedding dresses with the ideal hairstyles, ensuring brides achieve that breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime look.

The Dramatic Ruff Collar & Tulle Sleeves Gown

Picture this: a gown featuring a ruff collar gathered at the neckline, flowing into long tulle sleeves that bubble around the arm, ending in a delicate lace cuff. The sheer bodice is adorned with lace appliques that trickle down the layered A-line skirt. Bridal buttons along the back add a touch of tradition to this otherwise modern masterpiece.

Hairstyle Match: With such an ornate neckline, a sleek, polished low chignon is the perfect choice. A few delicate tendrils around the face soften the look, ensuring it feels bridal without competing with the gown’s grandeur.

The Baroque Elegance Strapless Mermaid Gown

This strapless mermaid gown is all about drama and sensuality. With glittering baroque motifs, a daring sweetheart neckline, and off-the-shoulder detachable scallop straps, this couture wedding dress screams opulence. The addition of a rhinestone bow belt cinching the waistline adds femininity, while the boned corset ensures both style and comfort.

Hairstyle Match: For this luxurious mermaid silhouette, a classic Old Hollywood wave is the perfect pairing. Let the waves cascade over one shoulder to highlight the off-the-shoulder straps while also maintaining a sense of elegance and glamour.

The Sweetheart Neckline Gown with Dimensional Floral Appliques

This gown, with its layered tulle and dimensional floral appliques, offers a blend of elegance and contemporary flair. The bodice’s sweetheart neckline and thin straps are balanced by a long tulle overlay that adds a touch of drama to the dress. This couture wedding dress is ideal for a bride who wants to feel both modern and timeless.

Hairstyle Match: A relaxed half-up, half-down hairstyle with soft waves would enhance the casual yet sophisticated tone of this gown. A few delicate hairpins or a minimalist veil would be a nice finishing touch.

The Organza Mermaid Dress with Ruffled Tulle Details

Style AD Jewelry Sets with Traditional Bridal Outfits

How to Style AD Jewelry Sets with Traditional Bridal Outfits

Regarding bridal fashion, every detail matters, from the intricate embroidery on the dress to the sparkling jewelry that completes the look. For brides who love the allure of diamonds but want an affordable yet dazzling option, AD jewelry sets are the perfect choice. Here's how to style an AD jewelry set with traditional bridal outfits to create a look that’s nothing short of breathtaking.

1. Match the Jewelry with Your Bridal Lehenga or Saree

The first step in styling an AD jewelry set is ensuring it complements your bridal outfit. Whether you’re wearing a heavily embroidered lehenga or a silk saree, choose an AD jewelry set that enhances the color and design of your attire.

For Red and Maroon Outfits: Opt for an AD jewelry set with ruby or garnet stones to accentuate the richness of your outfit.

For Pastel Shades: AD jewelry with soft pink or champagne-colored stones can add a subtle yet sophisticated sparkle.

For Gold or Ivory Outfits: Choose a classic AD jewelry set with clear stones set in gold or rose gold plating.

2. Balance the Bling

Traditional bridal outfits are often elaborate, with intricate designs and rich fabrics. When styling an AD jewelry set, balance is key to avoid overwhelming the look.

Statement Necklace: If your AD jewelry set includes a statement necklace, keep the earrings smaller or more delicate. This ensures that your necklace remains the focal point.

Complete the Look: If you prefer a complete set, choose one that includes a choker, a long necklace, and earrings. Ensure the designs are cohesive, so they enhance rather than compete with each other.

3. Layering AD Jewelry for a Regal Look

Layering jewelry is a popular trend among brides, especially for traditional weddings. AD jewelry sets are perfect for layering as they offer the brilliance of diamonds without the hefty price tag.

Chokers and Rani Haars: Pair a choker with a longer necklace (rani haar) to create a layered effect. This works beautifully with deep-neck blouses or sarees.

Stacked Bangles: Add multiple bangles from your AD jewelry set to one wrist, or split them between both wrists to achieve a balanced yet regal look.

4. Focus on the Details

Details make all the difference in bridal styling. Consider the following when pairing an AD jewelry set with your traditional bridal outfit:

Maang Tikka and Nath: Complement your AD jewelry set with a matching maang tikka or nath (nose ring) for a complete bridal look.

Hair Accessories: Incorporate AD-studded hairpins or a passa (side headpiece) to add a touch of sparkle to your hairstyle.

5. Choose the Right Hairstyle

Your hairstyle can dramatically influence how your AD jewelry set looks with your bridal outfit. Here are some ideas:

Updo with a Choker: A sleek bun or an elegant updo can beautifully highlight a statement AD choker necklace.

Loose Curls with Layered Necklaces: For brides wearing layered AD necklaces, loose curls or a half-up, half-down hairstyle can add a romantic touch.

6. Don’t Forget the Bridal Makeup

Makeup plays a vital role in bringing your entire bridal look together. When wearing an AD jewelry set, consider the following makeup tips:

Highlight Your Eyes: A bold eye makeup look with shimmering eyeshadow can enhance the sparkle of your AD jewelry.

Neutral Lips: If your AD jewelry set is elaborate, balance it with neutral or soft pink lips to keep the focus on your jewelry and outfit.

7. Coordinating with the Groom

For a picture-perfect wedding, consider coordinating your AD jewelry set with the groom's outfit. Whether it’s matching the metal tones or choosing similar gemstone colors, a coordinated look will ensure stunning wedding photographs.

Styling an AD jewelry set with traditional bridal outfits can create a stunning, cohesive look that’s both elegant and affordable. By matching your jewelry with your outfit, balancing the bling, and paying attention to details, you can achieve a bridal look as unique as you are. With the right AD jewelry set, you’ll shine brightly on your big day, leaving a lasting impression on everyone who celebrates with you.

SARAH'S OUTFIT AND HAIRSTYLE 

Whilst Andy was in the shower getting ready there was a knock on the hotel room door of course they was sharing a room so she went to answer looking through the peephole first seeing that it was Palaye Royale and so she opened the door all three guys greeted her of course she greeted them back letting them in Sebastian was the last one to enter so he closed the door and joined the others who was sitting on the couch, Remington speaks up asking her "So where's the better half then?" Sarah speaks up saying, "Right now he's in the shower shouldn't be too long though so you guys excited about performing tonight?" Emerson speaks up saying, "Yeah very excited what about you looking forward to the show tonight in your and Andy's hometown?"

Sarah speaks up saying, "Yeah actually I am a little nervous but think I'm gonna be okay, plus Andy's parents are gonna be there and I honestly can't wait it's amazing how supportive they are of him, well also they're like my second parents I honestly thought when he told them that we started dating that they wouldn't approve but turns out I was completely wrong which took a weight off my shoulders." A few more minutes the four of them was still talking and laughing amongst themselves to the point that they didn't even know that Andy who was fully dressed had come out of the bathroom that was until he coughed catching the groups attention.

Sarah speaks up saying, "Oh hey babes didn't see you there." He smirks saying, "Yeah I noticed you all seem to be in deep conversation." Remington speaks up saying, "Hey dude right seeing as we've got some time to kill why don't we all go and get some food?" Sarah is the one to answer saying, "Yeah I could go for some food right about now." That is when Sebastian speaks up laughing a little saying, "Yeah I bet you've got an appetite after what you two was up too." That catches Sarah's attention and she laughs a little speaking up saying, "What was that Seb?" He shakes his head saying, "Oh nothing come on let's go and get some food we've only got a couple of hours till you other half is performing."

So the group left the hotel room of course Sarah and Andy making sure they haven't forgotten anything, as they was walking down on the corridor to get to the elevator holding hands which is something that they've gotten use too Sarah would get these butterflies still even if they've been together for nearly a year, they had decided on where to eat and it happened to be close to the venue which was perfect of course Sarah was protective of Andy because he didn't do well when it comes to speak to people and he was so appreciated for her help, the group ended up just hanging out at the restaurant.

The show was due to start at 7pm so the group had left after paying so they started getting ready to perform for the huge crowd of people that had come to see Andy, Palaye Royale and William Control who had joined them whilst at the restaurant it was almost time for Andy to go on stage and perform Lonny had also joined them but again it was still weird that the others wasn't there but they had been keeping themselves busy, whilst Andy was performing Sarah was allowed to stay at the side of the stage but she wasn't on her own she had Palaye Royale so whilst he was performing the four of them would dance, Remington would twirl Sarah around, they all had a bond with Sarah which is pretty awesome and to be fair they're down to earth guys.

Of course all four of them had already exchanged numbers so they would keep in contact the first time they had meet, Andy was performing his last song and then the guys would be going on stage next to perform a few of their songs, a little while later Andy had come off the stage after introducing the guys which the crowd was going crazy, the three brothers went on stage all excited Andy had joined Sarah at the side of the stage giving her a kiss she honestly didn't care that he was sweaty she loved him regardless and he went to change out of his clothes, Sarah decided to stay at the side of the stage just so that he couldn't get distracted.

Five minutes later he had reappeared beside Sarah putting his arms around her neck but of course not to hurt her and he rested his head on top of hers after a few more minutes his parents had come to the side of the stage after seeing his performance and Amy his mom gave Sarah the biggest hug possible without hurting her she speaks up saying, "Well look how grown up you've become it only seems like yesterday that you guys had become friends and now look at you he finally asked you out took him long enough but I am so happy for you guys."

Andy gets a little embarrassed saying, "Mom I love you but seriously do you have to embarrass me in front of my girlfriend." Sarah laughs side hugging his mom saying, "Aww my poor baby is getting embarrassed that is so sweet." She laughs and then he speaks up saying, "Dad can you help me out here please it's two against one here." Chris he's dad laughs putting his hands up and speaks up saying, "Sorry Andy but I'm not gonna get involved but in all serious we are both so proud of you two and just happy that you two finally got together." Sarah moves from Amy to Andy giving him a side hug and he put one of his arms around her waist, kissing her forehead.

Palaye Royale had finished their set and Remington introduces the final act of the night which of course is William Control and when he got on stage the three guys joined the others who was teasing Andy a little but he knew that they was just having some fun, Seb speaks up asking "Alright what's going on here why is Andy blushing?" Sarah laughs is the one to speak up saying, "We're talking about old stories about when Andy was little and how he would like to be introduced into the room to fair he did have a cute name." 

It was finally the end of the day Andy's parents had gone home as it was getting late but of course they separately gave Sarah a hug which she very much appreciated and once they had gone, the guys had also left of course again each of the guys gave Sarah a hug separately of course, Then both Sarah and Andy went into their hotel room to get some much deserved sleep after all they had a very busy day and they was too tired to do anything else mainly sexually but that didn't stop them from getting all snuggle in bed, looking forward to the next stop as they didn't have many more stops left.
