River:Are those masquerade masks in that picture? Those things are freaky.

Everly:We thought we might have a mardi gras theme!

River:So why did you keep all this after you changed your mind?

Everly:Well what if we want to have a mardi gras party someday? That stuff might come in handy!

Everly:And thank you sooooo much Fox for helping!

Fox:Shit. I thought this was the group thread without Everly. I wouldn’t have been talking shit about your storage unit if I knew you were reading this.

Everly:YOU HAVE A GROUP THREAD WITHOUT ME????

Three days later:

River:Uncle Reed says tent will be here in half an hour. All hands on deck.

River:And has anyone seen the gift boxes? Bodhi is having a meltdown because he can’t find them.

River:Nvm, found the gift boxes. But now we’re missing several crates of champagne.

The day after that:

Vega:I just got to the hotel kitchen to work on the cake and the catering staff is here getting set up. THIS FOOD SMELLS AMAZING.

Cade:Please bring extra cake home.

Later:

Leo:Bodhi is stress-screaming in the shower, if you’re wondering how things are going.

Alex:Were we crazy to think we could pull this off in one week?

Will:Nah. We got this.

That night:

Everly:EMERGENCY!! SOS!!!!

Bodhi:What? What’s wrong??

Everly:We forgot to get ice cream.

Will:That’s not an emergency, Lele.

Bodhi:You know the wedding is tomorrow, right? You can’t just text me stuff like that!

Everly:Sorry! But I can’t really have my wedding eve girl’s sleepover without ice cream…

River:You want one of us to go to town and get it, don’t you.

Everly:OMG, would you?? That would be AMAZING!

Wyatt:I’ll go. Just don’t text SOS again. I thought Bodhi was going to have a heart attack.
