Intro 2, the Bride

After graduation, Stacy expected to have fun during the summer before leaving for college. Those plans were **** to change when Lisa came home with her fiancé John. John was handsome, she had to admit. Blond hair, blue eyes, tan with an athletic build without being too muscular. They had met in college and proposed. Lisa wanted to have the wedding during the summer after graduation so that they could "start their adult lives together".

While it wasn't that Stacy didn't love her sister. She just hated that suddenly her whole summer was focused on Lisa. Being her sister, she was of course asked to be a bridesmaid. She had never been to a wedding so she figured it would be just wearing an ugly dress at the wedding. But no. Being part of the wedding party meant that she was very involved with everything leading up to the wedding. Watching her sister be a bridezilla from a distance would have been amusing but dealing with it certainly wasn't.

The rest of the wedding party were people Stacy had never met, except the Maid of Honor, her best friend from high school Mary. The other bridesmaid Jasmine was just like her group of friends from high school. A stuck up follower of the queen bee. So, Stacy was the odd duck and they made it obvious. While she had to be involved with everything, usually try pretended like she wasn't there.

The other side of the wedding party made things interesting at least. The Best Man was John's cousin Steve. They were about the same age but looked rather different. He had long, brown hair and a beard. He would easily be mistaken for a girl from behind. That was probably why he kept the beard. The other groomsmen were Dave and Rick. Dave was a black guy with brown skin. Average height but still taller than her. He was the groomsman she was supposed to walk down the aisle with. Which she didn't mind in the least. While he looked nothing like the mystery boy from that party, he did make those memories stay fresh in her mind. And he was rather handsome. Rick was Hispanic and tall with a mischievous smile. She thought he was cute, too. While the bridesmaids mostly ignored her, the groomsmen paid attention to her with conversation and banter. She knew that part of it was because the other bridesmaids were too focused on Lisa to respond to them but she was just glad to break up the monotony. She didn't think that any of them could actually be interested in her.

Every aspect of this wedding bored her to tears. The dress fittings, rehearsals, planning the reception, etc. For most of it, she didn't know why she had to be there. She would have happily gotten her dress and be done with it until the wedding. But Lisa insisted that she be there for everything. There was one thing that she was looking forward to participating in, though.
