Though the plan to make the best-man group brush their teeth with mustard had failed, everyone still received two big red envelopes. For the best men's opportunistic behavior, everyone generously forgave them.
"The next segment is called 'Guess the Bride'..." Viola Harris was saying, and on the other side, each of the four bridesmaids held a red string. Colin Williams' string was tied to Amelia Clarke's wrist, while the others were attached to the photographer's wrist, a desk lamp, and a chair leg.
Taking the other ends of the four strings, Viola twisted them into a braid-like shape and extended them towards Owen Moreland, "Guess which one of these red strings is connected to your bride. Guess right, and we'll let you in; guess wrong, and you'll accept the punishment of mustard tooth brushing."
She paused, then added, "You can ask the best-man group to take your place, oh."
