Someone RSVP'd Yes to Both Weddings

Good morning to you too, Diane. And yes, of course I RSVP'd to Sophie's wedding. She's my niece??

...

Ok wait. Let me check my emails.

Oh no.

Oh no oh no oh no.

I was on the train. The screen is very small. I clicked very fast.

This is a small town and I hate it.

I need to think. Please don't say anything to anyone yet.

He did WHAT?

Tom, I am going to delete you from this family.

Sophie, love, I am so, so sorry. I was on the train, and — look, I know that's not a good excuse. I clicked the wrong button. Well… maybe both buttons. I don't know how it happened exactly, but I promise you, your wedding is the one I care about. Malcolm is a good friend but you are my family. I will call him today and explain everything. Please don't be upset with me.

I'm calling Malcolm right now. Everyone please stop talking about this.

Gerald: Malcolm, it's Gerald. Do you have a minute? Malcolm: Gerald! Yes, of course. Although — funny timing, actually. Carol just called me. Gerald: Ah. Right. So you already know. Malcolm: That you RSVP'd to my wedding AND your niece's wedding on the same day? Yes, I know. Gerald: Malcolm, I'm really sorry. I was not paying attention. I was on the train and — Malcolm: Gerald, relax. I'm not angry. Honestly? I think it's a little bit funny. Gerald: You do? Malcolm: Yes. But obviously you should go to Sophie's wedding. Family first, always. Gerald: Are you sure? I feel terrible. Malcolm: I'm sure. Just bring a very good gift to make up for it. Gerald: Deal. And Malcolm — congratulations. I really am sorry I can't be there. Malcolm: Thank you, old friend. Now go enjoy your niece's big day.

Ok I spoke to Malcolm. He's not angry. I'm going to Sophie's wedding. Crisis over.

Sophie, I am going to be there at least 30 minutes early and I am going to cry the entire time and everyone will know how proud I am of you.

Right, I'm going to buy Malcolm a very expensive wedding gift to say sorry, and then I'm going to find the best suit I own, and I'm going to be at that church on the 14th with flowers and a big smile. And Tom — I'm keeping you in the family. For now. But I'm watching you.
