TODAY'S FREE SHORT STORY:

Wedding of His Dreams by Cari Lynn Webb

Some things don’t mix: champagne and pizza. Major holidays and once in a life-time, dream weddings. An uptight PhD Maid of Honor and a world weary, laid-back Best Man. But Ruthie Cain’s twin sister never received that memo. Rebecca (Becca) Cain has joined her bachelor and bachelorette parties with an afternoon at the dog park in San Francisco. The rehearsal dinner and Cain family reunion are scheduled for Thanksgiving Day in Lake Tahoe. And the guest list for the Saturday sunset wedding in the mountains overlooking the lake includes pets.

If only Ruthie was simply on the guest list. But her maid of honor duties have expanded to include more than holding the bouquet during the vows. Thanks to her psychology background, she's been elected to rein in Becca's bridezilla tendencies. Her fear of flying has made her chauffeur to not one, but two Great Danes. And she needs to find someone who can cook enough turkeys to feed a wedding party that keeps expanding by the hour.

Now if only she can persuade the best man, Matthew Wright, that his responsibilities include more than looking good in a tux, she might discover that sometimes the wrong things should mix.

********************

Assumptions and expectations are a part of everyone's life. We are either setting an expectation for ourselves or perhaps a daughter (I have two and they're well aware of our expectations for school and grades). Or we are making assumptions about people or situations that we're involved in. In our house, my daughter has a tendency to assume what my answer will be to something before she's even asked me her question. She'll come in already prepared to fight because she's convinced she knows my answer. Sometime she's right, but more often she's been wrong. And there's something fun about defying her expectations and watching her have to re-group on the spot. Slowly she's learning to ask first, then react.

In my short story, Wedding of His Dreams, Ruthie Cain has expectations and she's made more than a few assumptions about Matt Wright. Ruthie and Matt have been aware of each other since high school, but they've never dated. Ruthie had been too focused on her studies and Matt had been too busy having fun. But Ruthie almost married another man. Now Matt has decided to take the opportunity to prove to Ruthie that he is exactly what she needs. And he intends to make the most of his second chance. However before Matt can get to Ruthie’s heart, he has to first shatter a few of Ruthie's misconceptions and assumptions about him.

I had so much fun writing this story and watching Matt push Ruthie outside of her comfort zone. Of course Ruthie didn't budge easily from her by the book life, but Matt was more than up for the challenge. And Ruthie discovered the best happy-ever-after was the one she never planned for.

I hope you enjoy reading Wedding of His Dreams as much as I enjoyed writing it.
