D: Derek
H: Heather

D: How was Rebecca’s wedding?

H: Oh my God, you’ll never believe what happened.

D: What?!

H: Everyone was gathered and waiting in the church, right?
The organist was playing the wedding march and the groom was
waiting at the altar, but Rebecca never walked down the aisle.

D: Huh? Where did she go?

H: Apparently she got as far as the church doors, but chickened out
at the last minute. She told her father that she had to use the
bathroom, disappeared and didn’t come back!

D: No way! So what happened?

H: Well, her father got worried when she didn’t come back after
twenty minutes and went looking for her with the bridesmaids.
They found a note from her in the bathroom saying she’d changed
her mind and didn’t want to get married any more.

D: She did a runner?

H: Yep. Meanwhile, Angus and two hundred guests waited in the
church for an hour before Rebecca’s father came in and had to
announce that the whole thing was off.

D: Poor Angus. I couldn’t think of anything more embarrassing
than being jilted at the altar.

H: Yeah, I know. I hope he’ll move on find someone else who will
treat him better than Rebecca did!
