He never felt comfortable dressing up.

John sighed at the thought of having to attend the wedding of his distant cousin — someone he barely even knew, let alone could feel happy for.

He looked down at his buzzing phone.

[Scott Phree: Hey guys, anyone down for football tmr morn 9–11am?]

John groaned. What a thorn in the flesh, that wedding. He tapped a reply with reluctant thumbs:

[You: Sry, Ive got a wedding to attend tmr :(

Dave Doe: lolll I’m the photographer for a wedding tmr hahahaha

Dave Doe: sorry scott!

Scott Phree: No prob, next time then!

Scott Phree: Maybe y’all are heading to the same wedding!]

John chuckled, but Dave had already sent another text:

[Dave Doe: are you going to Joseph and Rachel’s wedding tmr @john? hahahaha]

Wait a minute. John grinned in disbelief.

[You: Wait, Joseph Trafford?!?

You: Are we actually going to the same wedding? XDDD
