It took me a while to figure out where I was. When I figured out that glasses would help, I reached my arms out to search for them. Once I found them on the night stand, I put my glasses on, and look around the hotel suite Bernadette got for us. The bedroom was large, with bronzey-gold wallpaper, and had a large window that faced the Venice Lagoon. The carpet was a dark teal color, while the bed I was in was mint green and white.
On the opposite side of the king-sized bed was my new husband, sitting up, blankets around his waist, shirtless, and eating off a trolley full of food(he must of ordered room service early). I watched him as h

After Bernadette left, Mae began to freak out. Once I took down the doggy gate, Mae collapsed face-down on the bed, and covered her head with a pillow. I sat down on the bed next to her, to try to find out what's wrong.
MAE= "A tolt hr ta mulch."
Not understanding a word she said(now I know how she must feel), I remove the pillow, and flip her body over.
MAE= "I think I told her too much."
JARECK= "Oh? What did you tell her?"
MAE= "I said I had OCD, that I pull the hair out of my scalp. Said that I was inspire people, and shit."
JARECK= "That can be true. I mean, how many famous people out there have OCD?"
MAE= "Howard Hughes, bu

When Bernadette finally left the house, I turned to look at Jareck. I had to ask him why he brought up Anita.
MAE= "What was that about?"
JARECK= "I didn't vant her to focus all ont you and Brian. I know you don't like tolking about hem."
MAE= "Well, now she knows that we both had failed engagements before."
JARECK= "Ja, but, dis is gooing to be succsessfol."
I rolled my eyes, then pushed myself off the couch(and off Jareck). Once up, I looked down at him. There had to be an, at least, four inch gap between the top of his jeans and the bottom of his shirt. Those four inches where enough for a good amount of tanned flesh to hang out.
JARECK
I'm late! Oh God, I'm late! I don't know how it happened. I got distracted at work, I got on the wrong bus, how ever it happened, I was now over half and hour late! By the time I got to our apartment, I just hope Mae's OCD wasn't too triggered. I opened the door, and saw Bernadette sitting at the table, across from Mae.
JARECK= "Sorry I'm so late." I walked over to my Mae, gave her a tight hug and kissed her on the head. It was then I noticed her hat was off.
JARECK= "Wha..."
MAE= "I told her about the OCD, and all it's lovely side effects. It's okay." I was surprised by this. It took me over a month to see Mae's bald spot. May

When we finally got back home, Mae took some of her edibles(which I hoped would calm her down), and started sewing again, while I laid on the bed, and digested my lunch. Of course, once I got through the door, I removed all my clothes, and admired my fattening body. While I promised Mae that I wouldn't gain more than 20 pounds before the wedding, I still loved seeing how big I was getting(I had to be 100 pounds bigger by now!).
After a few hours of me laying down, and Mae working on our outfits, she joined me in the bedroom(I guess it was time for her to take a break), and laid down on the bed, next to me. She had changed into an ove

The next mourning, before Jareck has to be at the movie theater, me, him, and Hoover made our way to Central Park, where Bernadette Perez(who ever she is) would meet us. As we sat on the bench she told us to be, I panicked. Why did someone from a lifestyle magazine wanted to meet with us? How did she get my number? Was she even who she said she was? I was freaking out.
JARECK= "You're okay?" I turned my head to look at Jareck. I wanted him to look somewhat put together, so he was wearing a(tight) black shirt, denim jacket, and camo pants(one of the few pairs of pants that aren't skin-tight). I thought he looked good, but, I may be a b

Keeping my word, I took over the wedding planning from Mae. So far, I found a banquet hall to hold the reception, talked to a DJ, and, today, visited a bakery to pick out a cake. It was a little difficult, seeing that most the people I talk to can't get through my accent(especially on the phone), but, it felt good taking that responsibility off of Mae's plate.
Speaking of 'plate', I really enjoyed my time at the bakery. Turns out, to choose a cake, they give you samples of all different flavors and icings(and I may have treated myself to a few cookies and donuts, while I was there). I completely indulged myself and, by the time I m

So, after weeks of thinking about it, I did it. I got my teeth fixed. While Jareck wasn't thrilled with the idea having surgery done to make myself look a little more human before the wedding, but, he understands that it's something that's been bugging me for a long time, and he supports me. So, while Jareck kept his 'gapy teeth', I went under and had my snaggletooth removed(all while Bernadette and cameraman documented everything, of course).
Unfortunately, when I finally got the guts to get my teeth fixed, it was near the day we were to leave for Kansas. So, lucky me, I had my snggletooth taken out the day before the flight. Why? Be

Soon after our talk, Mae and I went out for dinner. We went to a pizza place, were I we ordered an extra large pizza, and I ate most of it. We then went for a walk in the park, before I had to rest a bit on a park bench, in order to digest that large pizza. Mae let me rest my head on her lap, while I laid down on the bench, and massaged my large belly(even though she's never admit it, Mae liked seeing me stuffed and bloated).
As soon as I was able to stand again, we walked home, my arm wrapped around her skinny body(and Mae repeatedly calling me a sap) most of the way. When we got to our apartment, I saw that there was a large, pack

BERNADETTE= "Please, take a seat." After I got off work, I had a meeting with Bernadette, at her office. It was a glass box, surrounded by people in cubicles and giant magazine covers on the walls. As I sat down on the plush chair, seated across from her, I found myself slightly nervous, for some odd reason. Maybe I was under-dressed(I was still in my too-tight, red, work polo, which would ride up my belly, from time to time)?
JARECK= "So, were things alright with Mae?" I worried about Mae doing this alone. She says she has everything under control, but I can't help but think that the stress of planning a wedding(that will be writ

Once Jareck called his mom, and I got everything figured out, we found a place to have a celebratory dinner. Luckily, it was an all-you-can-eat seafood place, so Jareck can eat as much as he wants(which is a lot). The eight of us(me, Jareck, Mom, Jaden, Jareck's mom, dad, brother, and sister) were seated, talking about the wedding. Well, most of us were talking about the wedding. Ulla was on the phone with her kids, and Jareck had just came back with a second plate of crab legs, mussels, and all sorts of sushi.
MANNY= "Also, Jareck haben nicht gegessen Mae aus dem Haus und zu Hause noch dick ficken?"
LYDIA= "MANNY!"
MAE= "I heard 'ficke

I rushed back home after my interview with Bernadette. With all that she told Bernadette, I knew Mae couldn't be doing well. Once I got home, I saw Mae, of course, working on the sewing machine, surrounded by white fabric(either working on my suit or her dress). She was wearing an over-sized plaid shirt, and was sweaty. Her face was red, and I couldn't help but notice that Hoover was playing with a small mound of black hair on the floor, next to her.
JARECK= "Mae, are you okay?"
MAE= "Of course I'm okay. Everything's okay. Why would you ask that?" She didn't even look up at me.
JARECK= "Um, I just got back from Bernadette, and I

The closer it got to the wedding, the more stress I had to deal with. Along with avoiding Bernadette whenever possible, I had to deal with family members from out-of-town(in Jareck's case, out-of-country), talk with people coming in from New York(some of which were industry people), sort through all my job offers, try not to pull out all of my hair, and learn German words that weren't curses(I wanted to surprise Jareck).
Despite all the shit on my plate, I managed to make it to the rehearsal dinner without being completely hairless(my bald spot was a little larger than normal, but, nothing some clip-on bangs can't fix). Since rehearsal

JARECK= "Tonight was fun." After our celebration of our engagement, Mae and I took a long walk home(not too long, since I was stuffed with seafood). Now, back in our apartment, Mae was laying on the bed, and I was in the bathroom, looking at my naked, fattened, bloated body. I loved how much rounder I'm looking every passing day. I also loved knowing that I was just a couple pounds away from being a hundred pounds heavier than when I started, and(hopefully) even bigger by the time we get married.
With a long while without Mae answering me, I left the bathroom to check on her. She was sitting cross-leg on the bed, wearing one of my

I'm nervous. So, Bernadette called the other day, saying that she wanted to talk to me and Jareck separately. She gave the address of the magazine's headquarters, and I was on my way there. So, yeah, I'm nervous. So much so, that my hand may of traveled under my hat more than a few times. God, where's Jareck's fat ass when I need it?
When I got to the building(and did my little fucked-up rituals before entering the fucking thing), I talked to the receptionist, then rode the elevator to the third floor. While in the elevator, my hand went under my hat, and kinda wished I took some edibles before I left the apartment. When the metal door

After a long flight, we finally landed in Kansas. Once we were allowed to leave, I helped Mae up, and out the plane. When we entered the terminal, I saw Beth and Jaden standing in the crowd, Jaden holding a large sigh reading, 'Mr. & Mrs. Jareck'. Beth had her long, curly, brown hair pulled up in a messy bun, but she seemed to look the same as always.
Jaden, well, looked like Jaden. Since I last saw the sixteen-year-old, he cut his hair, and dyed it white. He wore mostly black(like Mae), and was more on the thin-side(not skinny like Mae, but still). Jaden also seemed to be catching up with is sister in height(though, he was still s

It's a little odd being a bouncer. It's a simple job: I just stand outside the club, check IDs, keep already-drunk people from getting in, and make sure everything is safe. I even get a tight, black t-shirt, that makes my arms look huge and really shows off my belly. But, for some reason, people get mad me if I tell them they can't come in. It doesn't seem to matter if the club is full, or if I find booze on them, most people seem to think it's my fault they can't get in. They yell at me, make fun of my accent, but, because of my size, they just end up walking away.
After a long night of this, I headed home, and hoped Mae was in bed
JARECK
I was so excited! Today was the day most of my family was coming into town(since Ulla has a family, it's a little harder for her to travel). I waited at the airport with Mae, Bernadette, and a cameraman(which Mae wasn't too thrilled about). We all sat in the terminal, waiting for the plane to release my parents and little brother.
BERNADETTE= "So, Mae, what's your relationship like with your soon-to-be in-laws?"
MAE= "Um, it's good. I mean, they don't seem to hate me or anything."
JARECK= "My parents love her! They think she's wonderful."
MAE= "Wow! I'm wonderful, I guess. His brother doesn't seem too thrilled about me, though."

After my mini panic-attack at the jewelry store, Jareck and I went to that BBQ place, just so I could calm myself down(but, mostly so Jareck could stuff himself silly). The place was your standard Western joint, with every last inch of the place covered in wood. There was almost no one there, and I was just fine with that. So, the both of us sat at our table, Jareck was finishing the tower of what was once ribs on his plate, while I picked at my mac-n-cheese, trying to think of what was wrong with me.
MAE= "Did I fuck up?"
JARECK= "Wa?" He wiped the mountain of sauce on his face, as he swallowed the massive amount of food in his mouth.

I'm losing my mind. It's been a week since I got engaged, and planning a wedding when you're completely broke and have shitty credit is not the easiest thing in the world. My trichotillomania has also been kicking in, meaning my bald spot isn't going anywhere soon. Jareck's taking on extra hours at the movie theater he works at, so we can get some extra money, but that means does doesn't get to help me out as much as he wants to.
On top of all that, I need to find work. After being Parsons' Designer of the Year, I have a few options for my career. I could do what a lot of young designers do, and sign to work for an established label(h

Today, Jareck and I were gonna meet with Bernadette at our place. This, of course, was causing me to do some panicking. So, while Jareck was at work, I tried to straighten up the place(making the bed, doing the dishes, putting a doggy gate in our bedroom...). Jareck should be coming home any minute, and Bernadette would be here in half an hou...

Shit! Stopping what I was doing, I run over to the door, and look through the peep hole. Shit! It's Bernadette! She's fucking here early! Jareck was supposed to be here, to handle to door situation. FUCK! Now I'm gonna have to do this. Okay. Count to twelve.

The next day, I went over to the restaurant I used to work at(the nice one), to meet up with Liam. This would be the first time I've seen him since I got back home, and the first time I've seen him since I found out about that his son and my brother were having a secret relationship. So, needless to say, I had a lot on my mind.
I waited in the back of the restaurant(the place where we used to hang out), and watched the kitchen door. A few busboys came out, followed by a couple waiters, but, eventually, out came Liam, in his white chef's coat.
MAE= "Hey, asshole!" Catching his attention, he smiled and walked down the stairs, towards me

This felt so weird. I was in this large tent, not to far from where the wedding was gonna take place, surrounded by friends, family, and people from Bernadette's magazine, getting my hair done. Everyone was dressed in their dresses and suits, while I was in a white, satin robe. As I sat at the styling booth, I watched as everyone walked around the tent, while I tried to ignore how many times the hairdresser said 'big' when referring to my bald spot.
LIAM= "How's it hanging?" I looked at the large mirror the hairdresser was using, and saw that Liam was right behind me.
MAE= "By a single thread."

I have no idea what's going on. Like, I know what's going on right now: I'm at a dress shop, getting outfits for Mom, Lydia, and Ulla. The thing is, ever since last week(after Ulla's kids insulted my OCD and face), Jareck has been spoiling me. And by 'spoiled', I mean 'making sure I don't have some sort of weed at all times'. So, yeah, I take edibles just so my condition doesn't keep me from leaving the house everyday. But, the amount of pot Jareck gave me, left me not knowing what the fuck happened in the last week.
So, here I was, in the dressing room of the shop, laying down on a thin, white bench, trying to figure out what the fuck
