Maureen’s Bridal Shower
Maureen’s maid of honor Becky invited all of Maureen’s friends that could make it last minute to the shower. They each brought a present, which they carried downstairs and put in a corner by Maureen’s cage. They went back upstairs, and had a nice buffet lunch of little sandwiches, salad, and a cake from the same bakery that was making the wedding cake. Becky passed around a quiz to everyone, to see who knew Maureen best. Everyone knew the name of the demon Maureen lost the bet to, but almost no one knew that Maureen was on the swim team for a year in high school. Then everyone got to design a wedding dress with toilet paper and tape. They paraded down the basement stairs one at a time. Maureen refused to pick a winner for a while, since she was crying and pleading for someone to let her out of the cage, but eventually she chose Becky’s dress. Becky then handed Maureen’s presents through the bars one by one. Maureen was registered at a medical supply store, so she got lots of gauze, ointment, ice packs and pain relievers. Becky gave a really cute champagne toast, saying how happy she was to be here for Maureen’s big day. There are a lot of weddings based on accidental pregnancies or ticking biological clocks or demonic enslavement, Becky said, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work out to a lot of fun. Everyone got a goodie bag on their way out, with chocolates and jelly beans and a tin of deviled ham.
