WA-5 Wedding Story bride's perspective

Well this is the big day.  I can’t believe its here already.  I am walking down the aisle and everyone looks so happy.  I hope my ex-boyfriend from a couple of years ago doesn’t try to sabotage the best day of my life.  I’m at the altar, but I cannot stop staring at my uncle in the third row.  I swear there is something different about him since the last time I saw him.  His head looks different.  Maybe its just the angle I am seeing him from.  I stared for too long because the ceremony is coming too a close.  We both just said, “I do”, kissed, and ran out to our limousine.  Were heading over too the reception hall where the dancing will be fun.  I am so happy!

 

            Everybody is having fun dancing, singing, and talking.  The toasts seem to go on forever, but I do not mind too much.  Everything is going perfectly, and the cake looks so good, but I think I will dance before I have some.  Its strange, there is some ticking noise I can hear, but I do not know where its coming from.  Other guests can hear it and we start to search for the source.  We’ve been looking for a while, but no luck.  I bet it is just a clock my ex-boyfriend put somewhere to make us get scared.  I am dancing when, the chef says, “who wants cake?”  Right then everybody realizes where the ticking noise was coming from.  It was too late.  The cake exploded everywhere!  It was a mess.

 

            My dress, my husband’s tuxedo, and everybody else’s clothes were covered in frosting.  Not to mention my uncle that I had stared at had a toupee and people were playing monkey in the middle with it.  They also were throwing it like a Frisbee.  It eventually wound up lying somewhere on the floor covered in cake.  We all decided that we could not allow a wedding cake explosion to ruin what should be the happiest night of our lives.  I danced some more with my husband until he slipped on some icing.  We also took a ton of pictures.  The night was starting to get more exciting.  Then the best man hurled a piece of cake shaped like a snowball at one of the other groomsmen. 

 

            Pandemonium broke out.  People were throwing cake everywhere.  They also started splashing water and champagne at each other.  Everyone continued this until they were thoroughly exhausted and satisfied with their tomfoolery.  The night was a blast and everyone left happy, except my uncle.  He could not find his toupee and was searching all over.  It had turned out that the toupee was stepped on into a big clump of cake.  The locks had icing stuck in them and were stickier than glue.  When he found it, he realized it could not even be worn anymore.  Then he stormed off and left me, my husband, and a sugary wig in the reception hall.

WA-5 Wedding Story

Everyone sits quietly, restlessly.  They all wait for the bride to walk inside and down the aisle. I, of course, am a wig sitting on the man in the third row.  The priest begins to talk and everyone dazes of into a stupor until the bride and groom kiss.  Their happiness radiates throughout the church.  I am not looking forward to the rest of the day, with all the dancing and shaking.  Everyone is cheering as they race out, eager to party for the first time as Mr. and Mrs..  They get to the elegantly laid out reception clubhouse, where they plan to “boogie.”  Everyone arrives, and in a moment the party has started.  Needless to say, there was an open bar, which means drinks will be spilled in me the whole evening.  The band starts playing and people really start having fun.  Dancing, singing, and catching up with relatives illuminate the room. 

 

              Just then everything gets quiet.  A ticking noise is heard, but who knows where it was.  All I was concerned with was staying on this guy's head.  Everyone looks for what seems like hours, but no luck.  One person begins to compare their situation to that of Harry Potter in Potter Puppet Pals.  Nobody laughs because, “what if there really were a pipe bomb, and Voldemort was just waiting to pop out and sing?!?”    Well nobody could find it so they figured it would not be a problem.  Then somebody said, “lets have some wedding cake.”  It hit everyone; it was in the last place they had looked.  It was too late.

  Cake exploded everywhere.  Countless had been annihilated, and many more were injured.  Whether it was icing in the eye or a flower to the chest, the cake explosion had claimed many casualties.  People were running around, searching for survivors throughout the destroyed clubhouse.  Who would have thought a cake with a bomb in it could do so much damage.    Nah, just kidding.  Everyone was fine because after all, it was just cake.  People decided to salvage the rest of the reception and have some fun.  Some people had icing fights.  Others played with the wedding cake top. Some people even began to play frisbee with me. UGH!

 

            The group then had a giant cake throwing fight and made a complete mess of their clothes, the clubhouse, and everything else in the clubhouse(including me).  The pandemonium gradually turned into a lull of guests satisfied with their childish shenanigans.  All of the guests gave up on cleaning.  Why couldn't they at least clean up my beautiful locks.  I have had icing in them for the last 2 hours and it is really bothering me.
