A Fucked-Up Wedding Toast - 2
A Drabble to promote my unofficial challenge
Hi, sorry to come in on the tail of such a moving bridesmaid's speech, especially because none of you know me. I'm basically crashing your wedding as a "plus one," but I really need to say this.
I’ve never met either of you, but you look so young and young people are kinda known for making dumb, stupid mistakes. Here's the thing: statistically speaking, about forty percent of marriages end in divorce. It feels irresponsible not to mention this at such a beautiful expensive wedding.
So until you two present a five-year strategic plan for conflict resolution,
I object!
Cheers!

“Emergency landing requested!” Rachel repeated in a shaky voice. Peering down through thick clouds, she saw an island that seemed to have popped up out of nowhere. It even had its own airstrip! Was she hallucinating, coming out of the storm that nearly split her Cessna? Or was she dead already, with her mind projecting an island that shouldn’t be here?

We Sat in Silence Until the Truth Finally Arrived
The café was quieter than usual that afternoon. Outside, a thin October rain slid slowly down the windows, blurring the city into soft gray shapes. Cars passed like distant whispers. The smell of roasted coffee beans hung warmly in the air, mixing with the faint sweetness of cinnamon pastries cooling behind the counter.

Hahaha this is awesome. As a person who was married but couldn’t make it work this speech feels extreme but authentic.
