Chapter 5: Choosing Your Wedding Attendants

Those in your wedding party should be those closest and dearest to you. Friends from elementary school days that you haven’t talked to in years DO NOT count! ~JooLi

They should be friends who want to help celebrate your happiness. ~HyeBin

And not secretly want to rip your head off or screw you over. ~SunRi

*sigh* I regret ever telling you about the behind-the-scenes antics on your wedding day, Sunny! ~SoRi

Why? It makes for more memories. Besides, SaSa needs to know these things, right? ~SunRi

We want to help her, not scare her! ~HyeBin

Who’s scaring her? ~SunRi

*coughcough* Anyway! Three bridesmaids are more than enough. ~Ae Young

Anything more than that and you’re just showing off. ~SoRi

You don’t want your wedding to resemble a three ring circus! ~AeYoung

Well, isn’t that why they often compare weddings to a circus? ~SunRi

*scoffs* Who’s “they”? ~AeYoung

Despite his declaration of good intentions, Kyuhyun and Misa were no closer to setting a proper wedding date than when they’d first broached the subject. After they’d both showered and dressed, most of the morning had been spent arguing over where to eat breakfast (Kyu’s eggs sat abandoned on the table, half-eaten as they’d both sampled it and declared it tasteless); then once a restaurant had been chosen, getting out the door proved almost impossible, considering Kyuhyun then decided he’d rather snuggle on the couch, despite his grumbling stomach.

It had taken awhile to convince him that they could snuggle after breakfast, but they’d finally gotten out the door. Unfortunately for them, they’d had to leave the small eatery once their food had arrived, as the sudden appearance of fangirls made it impossible for them to eat there. Misa suspected that the young cashier had sent a text to everyone she knew the moment they walked through the door; the young girl had been quite starstruck when Kyuhyun had stepped up to the counter to order.

Misa sighed as she looked at the scattered mess of papers and take-out containers on Kyuhyun’s coffee table. In between bites of omlette and sips of OJ, they’d been discussing potential dates for their big day. Unfortunately, none of the dates they’d thrown out seemed to work, and it was becoming quite frustrating. “Maybe if we set it aside and plan something else?” she suggested.

Kyuhyun, who was sitting next to her with his head comfortably against the back of the couch, glanced up at her. “Good idea,” he murmured, relieved. “What’s next?”

She consulted the To-Do List on her iPhone. “The wedding party and attendants,” she replied.

At this, he grinned. “Well, that’s easy,” he said, leaning forward and grabbing another bite of his omlette. “I wanted all the members to be groomsmen.” He chewed for a moment, then swallowed noisily.
