His tuxedo was misplaced, so he was late for photos.
The order at the restaurant was mixed up, so the waiter was apologetic.
The drive to the reception was long, so they were nearly late.
The bouquet to toss was overlooked, so a quickly-picked, foil-wrapped handful of pansies sufficed.
But truthfully, it was a perfect wedding day, so the couple started their happily-ever-after.

      Yes, it is. Combined with the bat incident my mom wrote about, you can get a pretty good picture of that wedding week! :-)

    of course, as we know, it's not the things that happen (to make more difficult or to stress or to disappoint), it's the way that they (the fictional couple* in the story) look to each other and find and share the good, instead of being apart left with only the bad.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible.
