I snorted and handed the phone to my wife. As I turned round to find a chair I could not believe my eyes. Kit was sat holding Holly on her lap laughing so hard she was crying as she and Shane talked over the day’s events.

“Kit, What the hell why aren’t you mad?”

“Well baby sis think about it. I have been looking out for you all for years. And in all those years each time we have a wedding the couple to be try and break this rule. I caught you trying to sneak in to see Tina dressed as a Bellboy. Alice tried to bribe the hotel staff to smuggle her up to Dana in a room service cart and was thrown out on her ear. Shane came close when she dressed as a UPS guy to try and get to Carmen but was unlucky that I had opened the door instead, learning that you all sneaky from past experience and so knowing she would try something. And last but not least poor mark who tired to break into your house and got the wrong window and copped an eyeful of you and Tina doing the nasty. So I think they deserve a bit of credit for being the first ones who could pull it off. Let’s hear what they have to say.”

I sighed in frustration as I turned to see what Tina was saying.

————————-Tina————————

I knew Bette was pissed but I could not help but smile as I listened to Andy and Rachel chatter down the phone clearly very happy with themselves. I listened to what they had to say before relaying their conditions to the group.

“Well they say that they will come back but they have a few conditions.

1.      No one is allowed to physically hurt them. Bette!!!

2.      Karen and Bette cannot hurt Alice, as they know that you tried to frame her for the original separation when it was really your plan.

3.      They will be spending the day together today and tonight.

4.      They will be back for the rehearsal dinner tomorrow and will willingly leave separately after that.

5.      And lastly please can we hurry home and make sure Al hasn’t called the police because they stole her car and can’t get hold of her. And make sure the wedding plans continue.

So what do we say?”

I looked around as everyone looked back at me a little stunned before joining Kit in her laughter; even Bette appeared to have found the funny side.

I turned my attention back to the phone.

“Well I guess you have yourselves a deal, we will see you at yours at noon tomorrow to get ready for the rehearsal.

———————————Andy————————-

“Well now that is done how about that picnic on the beach?”

With that we pulled off from the curb in our stolen car and went off to relax taking comfort from just being together.
