Wedding Cake in the middle of the road



Finally! The big day has arrived. It’s one of those days that most women dream of since they were a little girl. The thought of being rescued and swept off their feet by their prince. Like many other women, Lucy had been single for most of her life. Until one fine when she met her prince charming named Luke Smith. The couple had been courting for five years. “It’s about time we tied the knot”, Lucy said to her best friend and maid of honour, Kim Jacobs.



Everything seemed to be running smoothly. Lucy woke up at 6:00am and had everything planned out perfectly. After all she is a perfectionist. Lucy jumped into the shower while Kim made sure that everything else was in place. She checked that her wedding gown, hair material, cosmetics and shoes etc. were all in place and ready. Nothing could go wrong today, everything will be spot on! Or so it seemed. Lucy got dressed and had her hair and make-up done. She was on time (which was rather unusual as most brides are normally at least 30 minutes late). The church had been decorated and setup, the reception area was ready.


The time had arrived, it was time to leave the hotel room and head off to the church. Lucy’s Limo had arrived to pick her up. She got into the luxury vehicle with her dad and maid of honour and off they went. But to her surprise as they approached the church she noticed that something was wrong. There were a whole lot of people outside the church. It seems as if they were arguing. “What on earth could be going on here?”, Lucy said in terror. As she got out of the vehicle she slowly but surely discovered that the reason for the argument was because the church had been double booked! So there were two weddings planned for the same time. What a disaster! More and more people started to join in on the argument some of Luke and Lucy’s family and guests, and some of the individuals from the other couples wedding. Not knowing what to do Lucy walked away from the action and realised that here perfect day had been ruined by an individual who had made stupid mistake by double booking her wedding venue. Whilst walking away and approaching the busy road she realised that this day has turned out like a perfectly made wedding cake. A wedding cake that has been put in the middle of a busy road, been driven over and crumbled into pieces.

  1. Interesting story, but I don’t get the ending of the story. I think you wanted to say something else or may be its just me.
