ChapterTwenty-Six

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
