As she spins on a heel and heads toward the parking lot, she drags my heart along behind her.

A TEXT THREAD WITH THE BRIDESMAIDS: NO BRIDES ALLOWED!
NATALIE: Maid of Honor checking in. It’s one hour until go-time. Where is everyone? You all ready for tonight?
NELLA: YES! Lettie and I are heading over to the inn to decorate soon.
LETTIE: Bring on the bachelorette party!
AMBER: I’m down at the beach. Going up to my room to get ready in five.
TESS: I’m at Big Mama’s. So is Darby. Mac, Brooke, and Daisy just arrived! YAY!
LETTIE: We have balloons and streamers. And instead of Pin the Tail on the Donkey, I had a Pin the Heart on Nicolas Cage made.
OLIVIA: I’m having scones at Spill the Tea with Hawk, but we’re leaving soon. Who’s got the feather boas and tiaras?
NATALIE: I do. Plus a satinBride-to-Besash. I’m also bringing a roll of white butcher paper and multicolored Sharpies so everyone can write a message to the bride and groom. I know that’s a cheesy, low-budget keepsake, but I couldn’t help myself.
AMBER: I think it’s perfect! Kasey crushes on her Sharpies almost as much as Nic Cage.
DARBY: Anything else need to be done beforehand?
NELLA: Just be prepared to have all the fun!
LETTIE: For sure. There’s no way Ford and Three will have Pin the Tail on anything.
TESS: I kind of hope not!
DARBY: Where is Kasey now?
NATALIE: She’s with her friend, Molly. They were at the golf course with Beau and Brady when I left to pick up my dress.
AMBER:Does the dress fit? (Fingers crossed.)
NATALIE: Like a glove, thanks.
AMBER: No. Thank YOU!
NELLA: Molly Fitzpatrick?
NATALIE: That’s the one. I forgot you and Lettie had afternoon appointments at the salon, so you didn’t see her earlier.
LETTIE: Ho boy. Has she branded Brady with a big letterMon his forehead yet?
NELLA: Come on, Lettie. Molly is nice.
LETTIE: I didn’t say she wasn’t nice.
NATALIE:Maybe we shouldn’t discuss this in a text thread.
TESS: Or at all. Anywhere. Ever.
OLIVIA: Works for me. #didanyonenoticeiamnotusinghashtags
DARBY: #irony
