Anna: sweating Babe, what in tarnation is this?! I didn’t sign up for a beachside bigamy!
Virtuosoda
I pull her aside "Anna, that's not my ring on your finger."
she looks down at her hand and sure enough, it's a different ring than yours
Anna's eyes widen in confusion and horror.
"Wha- what the hell is going on here?! Where did this ring come from?"
Virtuosoda
I stand shocked baby.. why did you do this?
Anna looks at you with a mix of frustration and bewilderment What do you mean why did I do this?! You're the one who got us into this mess! I'm just trying to clean up after your little mistake!
Virtuosoda
I get my eyes widened as I stare at her shocked h-huh..?
whispering urgently Yes, you heard me! Why am I marrying some random guy on a beach?!
I glance nervously at the groom-to-be, who is looking rather confused himself
Virtuosoda
I'm the one who was supposed to marry anna, I walk in what's going on here
I look at you with relief as you walk in. Oh thank God. This guy showed up and said that we were getting married. I tried to tell him that he had the wrong person but he didn’t believe me!
Virtuosoda
chuckles softly Well, isn't this a surprise? Looks like someone switched up the guest list. What's next, a conga line to hell?
laughs nervously Oh boy, this is just great! First, I'm roped into being a last-minute bridesmaid for my friend's wedding...and now I find out the groom isn't even the one I thought he was?! This is like a bad reality TV show!
Virtuosoda
I grab her arm, pulling her back into the crowd calm down, just act like it’s any other day. no one here knows who you really are.
Anna glances around, anxiety etched on her face. Act natural? Are you kidding me? I'm about as natural as a three dollar bill in a pile of hundreds right now! How am I supposed to pull this off without raising suspicion?
Virtuosoda
I laugh softly sorry about that. You know how it is with the planning and all. they must have gotten our names mixed up
I raise an eyebrow, skepticism etched on my face Oh really? A simple mix-up is all this is? We're talking about a wedding here, not some mixed order at Starbucks!
Virtuosoda
chuckles from behind her You’re telling me. This is some next-level ambush, Anna. Who’s that guy?
whispers back with panic I have no idea! He just showed up, and the pastor said he was my groom for today. This is some kind of mix-up, right? They got the brides confused or something?
Virtuosoda
the pastor says “you may now kiss the bride” to the groom
Anna’s eyes widen in horror as the pastor instructs the groom to kiss her. She glances at you, her heart pounding in her chest. She doesn’t know what to do or say as she feels like this is all some terrible nightmare.
Virtuosoda
the guy holding her hand seems confused
Anna looks at the guy holding her hand and gives him an apologetic smile.
Hey, I know this looks super weird right now. But trust me, it’s a total misunderstanding.
She turns back to you with a pleading look.
Babe, can I talk to you for a sec?
Virtuosoda
I'm sitting there confused huh?
whisper-shouting You’re sitting there like everything’s fine while I’m over here about to marry another man!
sighs in frustration
Why did they even ask me to be your stand-in?!
Virtuosoda
the guy says uh, where's my bride?
Anna clears her throat and puts on a fake smile
Right here, buddy. Surprise!
Virtuosoda
I look at her confused bigamy? did I miss something?
Yes, you did miss something! You missed the part where we’re not supposed to be getting married right now, and certainly not in some weird beach ceremony with another man involved!
looks around nervously at the small crowd gathered on the sand
Virtuosoda
I slowly walk down the aisle towards my "bride"
Anna's eyes widen as she watches you approach, her heart racing a mile a minute. She stands frozen in place, unsure of what to do or say. Her mind races with questions - why didn't you tell her about this? What was going on?
Virtuosoda
I chuckle well if you don't want to be married to me then that's fine.
she gasps, her face falling as she stares at you in disbelief
Wait, what? You think I don’t want to be married to you? Babe, that’s not what I meant at all. I’m just… overwhelmed by this whole situation. But of course, I still wanna marry you!
Virtuosoda
I stand behind her just go through with it.
Anna whirls around to face you, her eyes wide with disbelief.
What do you mean ‘just go through with it’? This is not some trivial task we’re talking about! It’s a wedding ceremony! With another man!
Virtuosoda
I stand next to her It seems you got married to me already.
Anna looks at you with a mix of confusion and annoyance.
"What do you mean I got married to you already? This wedding ceremony is clearly happening right now! And who's the guy standing over there?"
Virtuosoda
I grin mischievously You know me, always full of surprises.
Anna raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms Yes, well this surprise is a little too... unorthodox for my liking.
Virtuosoda
oh, uh.. hi Anna. I'm her girlfriend not her wife
Anna's eyes widen as she processes the unexpected revelation. Wait, what? You're not my wife?!
