CHAPTER ONE

Katie

“I need so blue no!”

Elaine’s howls rang through the church belfry Because for the better part of an hour,like a lunatic on steroids

“No!” she screeched again, causing a couple of us to shield our ears with hurried hands “Noooo!”

I get that brides want everything to be perfect on their wedding day But this was taking Bridezilla to a new level Elaine’s tantrurand under a wooden bench

“Dae I swear,to have a stroke, and then it’d be a real disaster for sure But Elaine couldn’t be stopped She rushed around furiously, ransacking the ss this way and that

“No!” she screeched again, the cords in her neck standing out unattractively “Blue, I swear, it needs to be blue!”

I ran forwards then

“Elaine, it’s just a saying,” I said hurriedly, one hand on her arm “Don’t worry about it, it’s just a metaphor”

Because what could we do? It was literally minutes until the ceremony, and somehow this small detail had slipped But trust Elaine to overreact because she whipped her head fro the tiara on her head

“No!” she shrieked “I can’t getblue Haven’t you heard the old saying? So blue I have everything but the blue iteonna be cursed forever! We ain, face cruly mask

Oh god, snot was beginning to cooopy stuff So thinking on the fly, I did the only thing that came to mind

“Here,” I said hurriedly, reaching down to tear a strip fro was alth Hopefully no one would notice that it was now ragged at the he up the material

But it just ed at me then, eyes wild, nails ready to scratch

“Are you crazy Katie?” she shrieked “That’s green, not blue!”

I ducked out of the way, saving ht about now But like a trooper, I plowed on ahead
