“Really?” Kenzie said. “At least he knows he fucked up.”
“Maybe he does. Maybe he doesn’t. Today is not the day for us to have that discussion because I am sick as hell!” Keeva said.
“Well we gotta get better because we have to go over to the house to meet with mommy about the wedding,” I reminded them.
“Oh, gawd…” Kenzie dramatically said, “Is that today?”
“Yes, it’s today! It’s your wedding! How did you forget about the meeting?” I chuckled.

After tryingevery hangover remedy known to man and none of them working, I settled on another dose of pain meds and large sunglasses to get me to my parents’ house for the meeting about Ken’s wedding. My mother was in super mommy planning mode since Ken wanted a winter wedding. Last night was not a good idea when having to deal with super planner mommy. Turning off my engine in front of my childhood home, I took a long drag of the water. I’d been drinking trying to rehydrate myself. I pulled out my phone and sent Samuel a text.
Pray for me. About to go into the lioness den to plan for the wedding.
You got this. – Samuel
My mother is Vivian on speed when it comes to planning stuff especially weddings.
Might as well get used to it. She is going to plan yours too. - Samuel
Let’s just elope and keep it a secret. I can’t do this twice.
I will file the paperwork for the marriage license on Monday. I have a judge friend who could handle the ceremony for us. - Samuel
Babe! I’m just kidding!
You probably should add lol or lmao or haha when you’re kidding. – Samuel
(Straight face emoji)
I should have told you that we eloped last night. You wouldn’t have known any different. – Samuel
Not going to let me live that down.
Not ever. Love you. See you later. – Samuel
Love you too.
Looking up after hearing a tap on my window, I saw Ken standing next to the car wearing a large pair of sunglasses as well.
“Come on in so we can get this over.”
“I’m coming.”
My sisters and I sat on the couch watching my mother’s poster board presentation of how Ken’s wedding would go. The boards were complete with fabric samples, color stories, time frames, and budgets. It reminded me a lot of the presentations my sisters, and I sat through when Mommy was planning each of our sixteenth birthday parties. We all knew that Ken wasn’t going to have a whole lot of say in what happened. If we weren’t so hung over, we might have asked more questions, but we all just went with Mommy’s ideas. They weren’t bad ideas just devoid of the bride’s opinion.
“So what do you think?” Mommy asked after going over her last poster board.
“Great job, Mommy,” Ken said. “My only question is why is my dress budget so low?”
“Kenzie, two thousand is enough to find a really nice dress. Your father and I are going into our savings to pull this off.”
“Mommy, I will put in on the dress,” I said.
“I will too,” Keeva said.
“You girls don’t have to do that,” Mommy said.
