"Hi. This is Dr. Stu Price. I'm getting married, so I'll be out of the country for two weeks. I'm not sure if I'll have cell service. If this is a dental emergency, plea..."

She tries another number and the last resort. "Hey, this is Kirsten. This is a new number so however you got it, sit by the phone and wait for the restraining order I'm about to put on your ass."

She sighs as she walks back into the living room, joining her parents and Tracy, who look up at her expectantly. "Nothing." This provokes her father to start speaking to her mother in their native tongue, bad-mouthing her soon-to-be husband. "Daddy, please. You're not helping."

"I looked in the eyes of Stu." Her father sighs. "Not the eyes of a man. The eyes of a coward."

Suddenly, Tracy's phone goes off and she stands up from the couch, beside Lauren. "Excuse me." She walks outside, answering the phone. "Phil."

"I'm sorry."

"Where the hell are you?" She says through gritted teeth.

"It happened again." Phil sighs down the phone.

"Don't say that." Tracy shakes her head. "Please."

"No, this time we really fucked up."

"Seriously, what is wrong with you four?" She rolls her eyes.

"So much, Trace." He tries to laugh. "I don't even know where to begin."

"Oh, God. How bad?" She asks the dreaded question. "Like no wedding bad?"

"Yeah." He pauses. "Little worse than that."
