Kleinfeld, Annie's Manhattan | Thursday Afternoon

[defenderofdesmoines]

Annie was trying to be more excited than nervous today, but no matter what, the two were kind of co-mingling anyway. She might -- hopefully? -- get her wedding dress today! And she'd be filming an episode of television in the process, but whatever, that was just work, right?

And she was bringing Diego's sister. And her Fandom friends. And Maeve.

It would be fine.

And if she kept saying it would be fine, then it would be!

In any case, they were here -- along with a film crew, a gal who was not being shy at all about touching up makeup, Annie's boss Ashley (and her ubiquitous clipboard), and a bridal consultant who seemed torn between being thrilled at her big break and also like she might throw up.

Allison had been through this rodeo twice already, so she basically knew what she was looking for in a wedding dress, but picking one out for Annie took some time. The two of them had two totally different vibes.

Eventually she came out holding a Vera Wang gown that was sparkly. She knew sparkly was going to be a big thing with this wedding.

"Vera is a classic for a reason."

"Oh, it's so sparkly," Annie sighed nigh-reverently, reaching for the dress (and being overtaken by the consultant who got there first and knew how to handle the garment beyond petting it like Starlight here clearly wanted to.) "I like the sleeves."

It might be cold in October! She hadn't even thought about needing sleeves -- she'd just been motivated by her necklines so far!

"You look so pretty," Allison said, lifting up her phone for a photo. "Sleeves are great, and you shouldn't get too hot in it. I almost considered gloves--I wore them when I got married to Ray."

Then she realized that was a fad that stayed in the 60's. Elbow length gloves would be classy still, though.

Annie's expression turned a little wistful, almost apologetic -- but that was neither productive right now, nor something she especially thought Allison wanted included in a cable TV special, so she got a grip pretty quick.

"I bet that was a gorgeous wedding," she offered with a soft little smile, before fiddling a little with the bow on her shoulder to offer an out. "This is kind of fun." Also kind of distracting?
