The Wedding of Lily & Josh

Two years, nine months ago.

Cancun, Mexico

“Why did you choose a combined bachelor/bachelorette party? How will Josh have strippers if we’re there?” I ask Lily, who still has the curling iron in her hair even though we were supposed to meet the guys at the bar twenty minutes ago.

“Because it’s fun, there will be no strippers, and we’re all friends. So why not?”

“Got it. I just hope this burrito Evan convinced me to eat earlier doesn’t make a comeback.”

“You’re sick?”

“Not sick, yet, just… iffy. It’s not like I drank the water or anything.” I wasn’t going to tell her this at all and just hope it passed. Literally.

“Well, hold it together.”

Finally, Lily is the picture of perfect and ready to walk the few blocks from our hotel down to the bar where this magical event is to take place. I probably shouldn’t have worn heels this high for this much walking, but I hate looking an entire foot shorter than Jack.

“Wow! This place is busy!” People are spilling out of the front doors, laughing, drinking, and just overall partying, as one does in Cancun on vacation. “Come on.”

We push our way through the crowd and look around the busy bar for the rest of our party. Someone waving from the private balcony above us grabs my attention. Evan.

“They’re up there!” I point towards his grinning face.

“Perfect! We wanted to get the balcony but weren’t sure we could at such short notice.” We squeeze through a crowd full of scantily clad half naked bodies towards the stairs, and the man guarding the VIP rope nods towards us without a word while allowing us through.

“It’s so hot in here,” I yell to Lily over the music, as I follow her to the top.

“It’s Mexico, Ems. It’s always hot, everywhere.”

It’s so hot that I think my hair is sweating, but I continue up the stairs and hope there is air conditioning in the VIP room.

“Finally! What took you so long?” Jack kisses my lips.

“Lily…” I roll my eyes with a laugh. “She just had to look perfect.” I look across the room at her and Josh already making out in a corner by themselves. “I’m not sure why we are having a party to watch them have sex in public. It’s kinda gross.”

“They’re not gonna have sex. That would be disgusting.” Evan takes a swig of his beer. “We leave disgusting to me, remember?” He winks at the only other bridesmaid that made the trek from Oregon to Mexico.

“No,” I shake my finger at him. “Lily will be pissed if you screw her cousin,” I say, using the only demanding tone I know.

“Lily will never know,” he and Jack both laugh. “Right?”

“I know you have like zero morals about this stuff, just don’t do it here, please?” I beg Evan to try and keep it in his pants, but I know he’ll never listen. He never does.

“I got you a drink,” Jack points at the Cosmo on the table in front of him.
