I think her name was Monica. But it might have been Molly. Anyway, she looked like this:
And that's her groom who I think is named David. Or Danny. And then some lady from their cruise ship.
We met them on the beach in the Bahamas. Frank and I were just walking down the shoreline at 9:30am when we spotted these two people who appeared as if they had lost the rest of their wedding party. I said, “I don’t know you but you look so pretty I’d like to take your picture.” Obviously, flattery will get you everywhere because the next thing I knew she was asking us to be witnesses at their wedding! I was stoked.
When they got to the part where they exchange rings she handed me her bouquet. Boom. I was instantly upgraded to maid of honor! I quickly had to think back to seven years ago when I was Jaime’s MofH. I needed to throw a shower; I needed to fluff her dress; And what about the toast? It’s hard enough to think of something to say for one of your oldest friends but how about when you don’t even know the girl’s name?
I decided to keep it simple. When they kissed, we clapped and I said, “Congratulations! What a beautiful wedding!” I inquired about a reception but apparently we weren’t invited. That’s okay; we didn’t get them a gift.
So my point is that I’m very versatile as an MofH. I can go anywhere. I can wear anything (even a bikini if that’s what you want). I can smile pleasantly and I won’t lose your flowers.
Think about it. But don’t think too long. My calendar is getting pretty full.

It was good you didn't have a white bikini on because you don't want to wear white like the bride. Did she get your picture Ellen, I mean Elsa.
True, Carol. I mean Carrie. That would definitely have been a fashion faux pas--both because of the whole bridal situation and because a girl as white as me should never wear a white bikini!
