Oh my God. I wasn’t even sure about having a drink with him, and now I’m disappointed he didn’t stick around to have me on the cupcake table. Where’s a cold shower when you need one? Apparently the whole “getting it on with anyone, anywhere” atmosphere has infected the entire guest list, including me.
But I’m not really a guest. As becomes even more obvious a second later with the boom of Frederico’s voice.
“Hallie! I need you over by the lake, stat!”
The last effects of the kiss evaporate. I scamper out of the tent and dash toward the boathouse.
Frederico strides over to meet me. Somehow he manages to look manic and stern at the same time. “The dogs,” he says, pointing vaguely behind him. “And then I need you inside.”
He starts to walk off as if he’s given me any actual instructions. “Um, what about the dogs?”
“The canine ‘bridal party’ is waiting for their photographs down by the lake. I think they’re getting a little impatient.”
Bridal dogs. OK.
I hurry towards the lake, where some poor assistant is clutching the leashes of six yappy shih-tzus. And they all have a white collar fixed around their necks glittering with what look like real diamonds.
“Lucky and Pebbles are Trista’s,” the assistant babbles as I pull out my camera. “She wants lots of pictures of them especially. And you can get some groupings by family, right? Chance is her parents’ dog. And of course we have to get them all together.”
Of course. I manage to hold my amusement in check and get to work. The light is pretty good here, the afternoon sun beaming over the lawn between the trees. But the click of the camera seems to stir up the dogs.
“Hey, hey,” the assistant says nervously, as they tug at their leashes. “Settle down!”
“Just keep them together for one group shot!” I call encouragingly. I back up towards the lake, trying to get them centered in the frame. “One more minute, I promise!”
Suddenly, a yappy fight breaks out, and one of them lunges—breaking free. “Come back! Lucky! Stay!” The assistant is powerless, and the next thing I know, all six of the furry wedding guests are charging straight at me.
I yelp, scooting to the side. Two of them veer to cut me off while the others race toward me from the other side. “Good doggies, good doggies!” I plead, dodging their eager paws. Their leashes whip around my ankles, and before I can free myself, one leaps right at my legs. I stumble backwards, and lose my footing on the soggy ground.
SPLASH.
Move over, ladies and gentlemen—“worst wedding ever” has a new winner.
