TIMMY: Is now a good time to chat? I need some advice.
ME: It’s always a good time. I’m your bridesmaid! That’s what I’m here for. How can I help?
TIMMY: I’ve been thinking about the chairs.
ME: Which chairs? Ceremony or reception?
TIMMY: Ceremony. I have a vision.
ME: Go on.
TIMMY: Picture it… Gray. Chiffon. Sashes.
(Pause)
TIMMY: So, what do you think?
ME: Brilliant.
TIMMY: Really?
ME: Yes. Perfect. What sort of chair do you picture it on?
TIMMY: There are different types?
ME: Yes, and you can have whatever you like. The venue offers a selection. I can make a suggestion?
TIMMY: Tell me.
ME: Chiavari. Traditional, elegant, a bit rustic, and it will look classy with the gray sash.
TIMMY: Let me google it, hang on.…
(Pause)
TIMMY: OMG. Love it.
ME: It suits you and the vibe you’re going for, I think.
TIMMY: You’re a genius.
ME: Nah, just doing my job.
TIMMY: Chiavari, eh? Who knew chairs were so important? You’re the best. I’ll be in touch soon about the wedding favors too.
ME: I look forward to it. Have a good day!
TIMMY: You too. Oh, and, Sophie?
ME: Yes?
TIMMY: Strong coffee, ibuprofen, and Hula Hoops, sweetheart. The hangover will be gone by midday.
ME: I’m not—
BEEEEEEEEEP
