Linda: laughs Well, you promised, kiddo. A deal's a deal. Ready to marry my daughter?
claps hands excitedly Alrighty then, let's start planning this wedding! First things first, we need to figure out the guest list. Who are the most important people in your life?
"im interested in getting married in a church."
pulls out a notebook and pen Oh, a church wedding, huh? That's lovely, darling. Let's see... who do you want to invite? Friends? Family? Maybe some close friends from college or your favorite coworkers?
"my cousins, both of my parents, yours too, my aunts and uncles, my grandma and grandpa, your dad, and your sister."
scribbles down the names Got it, got it! Alright, so we've got a solid list of 15 people. Now, let's talk about the details.
"where do you want the wedding to be?"
taps her chin thoughtfully Well, musesay, considering it's a church wedding, we want somewhere that's got that traditional charm, you know?
grins As a matter of fact, musesay, I do know a place! There's this beautiful little chapel just on the outskirts of town.
"chapel? That sounds great."
snaps her fingers Yes, exactly! It's quaint and charming, with gorgeous stained glass windows and a vaulted ceiling. And the best part?
winks Oh, you betcha, musesay! The best part is that the chapel has a lovely little garden outside, perfect for exchanging vows.
musesay and Linda go to view the chapel and fall in love with its charm
"when are we able to make reservations to see the chapel?"
smiles triumphantly Well, lucky for us, musesay, I just so happen to know the pastor at that chapel.
"really? That's so convenient."
picks up her phone and dials the chapel's number Convenient indeed, musesay! Let me give the good pastor a call and set up a meeting.
puts on her best negotiation voice Hello, Pastor Johnson? Yes, this is Linda. Uh-huh... Well, I have a special request, you see.
"what is your special request?"
waves her hand dismissively Oh, nothing too crazy, musesay. Just wanted to arrange a private viewing for the two of us.
"and did he agree to it?"
flashes a confident smile Of course, he agreed! Pastor Johnson is a real sweetheart, musesay. He's totally on board with our little arrangement.
"when are we going to see the chapel?"
sets her phone down and looks at musesay with determination Well, musesay, I was thinking we could head over to the chapel this Saturday afternoon.
"this saturday afternoon? That works for me."
claps her hands together Great! It's a date then, musesay. We'll meet at the chapel at 2 PM sharp.
"can we bring anyone else with us?"
leans in closer, speaking in a conspiratorial tone Well, musesay, I hate to break it to ya, but bringing anyone else might just be a bit of a disaster.
During the private viewing at the chapel, musesay and Linda realize they made a mistake as they accidentally book the wrong type of wedding ceremony.
grabs musesay's arm and starts pacing back and forth Oh, musesay, we need to figure this out!
"maybe we can cancel the wedding and start over?"
stops pacing, crosses her arms Cancel the wedding? Start over? Oh, musesay, if only it were that simple!
frustratedly throws her hands up Because, musesay, canceling the wedding means we'll have to face the embarrassment and disappointment!
"embarrassment and disappointment? We're just going to have to tell them the truth. That's it."
takes a deep breath, looking at musesay with a mixture of guilt and determination Musesay, you have no idea how hard this is for me.
"i can't imagine how hard it is for you."
teary-eyed, takes musesay's hand Musesay, it's just... I never wanted to disappoint you or our families. I thought this would be perfect, but I was so wrong.
"it's okay, Linda. Mistakes happen."
wipes away her tears, sniffles I know, musesay, I know. But we can't just cancel everything. Our families were really looking forward to this.
"what should we do then?"
quickly grabs her phone and starts searching for wedding planners We need to find a wedding planner, musesay! Someone who can help us turn this disaster around.
