wink.
Sloane continued to rifle through her book.
“Okay, people. We have work to do,” she said in a business-like tone. She had gathered all of the members of the wedding party and was ready to get down to business. Sloane had nominated herself as the wedding planner, and Holly and Brant were glad to grant her with the task. She told them that the only thing they had to do was pick a wedding party and show up.
It hadn’t taken much thought to decide who would be in the wedding. Brant immediately asked Marv to be his best man. He couldn’t think of anyone who was better suited for the task. Not only was he instrumental in arranging their first date, he was pivotal in getting them back together, too. Then for his groomsmen, he chose Greg and Luke, who were in Brant and Holly’s first wedding, and of course, he couldn’t forget Randy. The only guy that Brant didn’t include from his original wedding party was Chris, for obvious reasons.
Holly had a pretty easy time determining who her maid of honor would be. After arranging a Christmas party, essentially paying for their second wedding, and just all in all, being the best friend a girl could ask for, Holly had no problem tasking Sloane with the job of her maid of honor. Holly’s bridesmaids include her mother Gloria, and her daughters Tressa and Belle. Belle was initially asked to be a flower girl, but outright refused insisting that she is a big girl, and she wants a big girl dress.
Sloane continued, “Okay, we have a lot on the agenda today”
Holly, Brant, Marv, Gloria, Luke and Greg all gave Sloane their full attention.
“First up. Invitations go out tomorrow. I am going to need Marv, Luke and Greg to assist. We don’t have enough time to mail them, so we are doing drive-by delivery. Marv, you and I will be taking Center City and South Philly. Luke, you can take the Northeast and Bensalem. Greg, can you handle South Jersey?”
They all nodded in agreement.
“Okay, that was easy. The guest list is 250 long.”
Holly’s eyes went wide.
“Come again?”
“250 guests. That is the bare minimum for the venue.”
“Are we going to be able to fill it up?”
“This is a Sloane Markowitz production. Of course we will. Hmm…. Ah, attire.”
Sloane began flipping through her binder.
“Gentlemen. You have an appointment at Heinrich’s Distinguished Men’s Formal Wear on Spruce Street tomorrow at 5 P.M. Don’t be late. This is a black tie affair, Brant. No sneakers or boots, please. Luke… No ironic t-shirts with a tuxedo design on them. Greg… No belching during the ceremony.”
“You take away all the fun!” complained Luke with a smile.
“Moving on. Flowers. It’s off season so there wasn’t as much to choose from. Since it’s a winter wedding, we could do red and white roses.”
“No,” replied Brant rather bluntly.
“Why?” asked Sloane, looking confused at Brant.
Of all things for him to comment on, he chooses flowers?
“Holly likes lilies. White Casablanca lilies.”
Sloane eyed Holly speculatively.
“Holly, care to comment?”
“He’s right. I prefer the white lilies. I was thinking white Casablanca lilies with heather and red winterberries.”
Sloane raised her eyebrow.
“That might actually work.”
Sloane scribbled in her notebook, crossing of her original idea, and writing down Holly’s idea. It was stressful planning a wedding on such short notice, but Sloane really made it look easy.
“Ladies. Midnight Affair Bridal Couture. 5 P.M. tomorrow. Don’t be late. Is there anything I’m missing? Oh, right… Transportation.”
Brant cut Sloane off at the mention of it.
“I have it covered.”
“But-“
“I have it covered, we’ll discuss it later.”
Holly gave Brant a sideways glance and smiled happily.
He always has a surprise up his sleeve.
“Okay, then.
