Picket Fences! Part 36


A few days later on Main Street at City Clothing . . .




Shannan has arrived with her cousin Claudia to find the perfect wedding dress.


She went over to the rack of formal clothes and started browsing.


She saw one she liked and tried it on.


"What do you think about this one?", she asked.

"It's pretty. I like the way it fits", said Claudia.




Shannan went back over to the racks of formal clothes. Arlene had come into the store with her mother and grandmother. She was also looking for the perfect wedding dress.


Arlene saw one she liked and tried it on.


"How does this one look?", she asked.

"I like it", said Joyce.

"It's a little too plain", said Joy.


When Arlene came out of the changing booth, Joy said "I think you should have a dress with lots of lace and ruffles."
"I don't think I'm the lace and ruffles type Mom", said Arlene.


Joy went over to the rack of formal clothes to help her look.


Arlene tried on one with puffed sleeves and bows that her mother picked out.

"She looks like a storybook princess in that one", said Joyce.

"That's more what I had in mind. It's lovely", said Joy.


"I don't like it. It's too frilly", said Arlene.


Shannan came out in a dress with lots of lace.


Then she tried on the "storybook princess" dress.


"This one is really beautiful. But it's just not me", she said.

She went over to the rack of formal clothes and held up another dress.
"This is the only one I haven't tried on", she thought to herself.


"I like this one a lot", said Shannan.


"Well, which one should I choose?", Arlene asked Joy and Joyce.

"It's your wedding sweetheart, the final decision should be yours", said Joy.

"Yes, you should be the one to decide", agreed Joyce.


Arlene decided on a dress and paid the cashier.

(The redhead in the blue dress is Arlene's downstair's neighbor Regan Tyler, who was also out shopping for clothes.)


Shannan was chatting with Joyce.
"Jonathan and I would like for you to come to our wedding", she said.


"I'll see if I can make it. Thank you for the invitation", said Joyce.


Then she went outside to wait with Joy and Arlene for the taxicab.


Shannan paid the cashier for her wedding dress and a maid-of-honor dress for Claudia.


Then she called a taxicab to take them home.


Meanwhile over at Rhys' place . . .


He received a telephone call from Jonathan.

"Can I come over? There's something I want to ask you, but in person", said Jonathan.

"Sure, come on over", said Rhys.


Jonathan arrived a few minutes later.

"What is it you want to ask me?", said Rhys.


"Will you to be my best-man?", asked Jonathan.


"I am the best man", said Rhys jokingly.


"Cut it out, I'm serious Rhys. I'm going to marry Shannan and I want you to be my best-man", he said.


"I don't understand why you want to do that, but I'll be there for you", he said.


" Congratulations buddy", said Rhys.


"I better get going. I need to get some sleep before I go to work tonight. Some of us have to work", he said jokingly.
