When it came to public events, Mackenna Dunbroch had always been more of an impartial observer than anything else. This wedding, though? She had given herself a very different personal mission -- to get as drunk as she could and see what that felt like. She was already a few cups in, but truth be told, she couldn’t feel much. It had to be that darn Dunbrochian tolerance.

“Whooooo wants to dance with the ring bear?” Rachel asked, twirling excitedly. She’d changed out of her bear costume into a swooshy rainbow dress instead, and she was determined to have an awesome time at this wedding, no matter what else was going on around her.

Bernie poked at the chocolate-covered sponge on his plate, looking at it in disappointment. “Why isn’t it growing into a chocolate dinosaur?” he asked, his lips turning downwards into a frown. “I really wanted to give the grooms a pet dino as part of their present, but this works like... way better in water.”

“Wait, don’t drink that!” Nova insisted, reaching out a hand to cover the cup of punch. “My chameleon’s gone missing, and he likes to take baths in things that fall on the red side of the color wheel, so... I just wanted to check that he’s not in there first, is that okay?”

Summer had made the rounds at the reception, saying hi to friends here and there and appreciating all the finer details of wedding planning that she was sure went unnoticed by most of the crowd. Now, though, all the formalities and pleasantries were out of the way, and she figured it was as good a time as any to grab Felix and enjoy her friend’s company for a bit before he got to his night’s main attraction -- whichever girl he ended up going home with. 

“Hmmm, which do you think I was better at, marriage officianting or totally embarrassing Will with my toast?” Mary Kate giggled, holding up a glass of sparkling rosé to clink against the wedding guest next to her’s drink.

"It might have something to do with having just married one of the funniest guys in the kingdom,” Will teased, the gigantic smile he’d had on his face all day growing even larger, “but it kind of makes me want to start, you know, a little bit of trouble. Just a little bit. That being said, who do you think would be the most chaotic person to ‘accidentally’ toss the bouquet at?” He made air quotes at the word ‘accidentally’ and took a sip of champagne as he waited for an answer.

“Oh God, you’re not going to tell the grooms you caught me playing Wizards Unite at their wedding, are you?” Kally asked as she clutched her phone tightly to her chest, hiding her screen even though she was sure the damage was already done.
