Wildwood Daze

by Jane Kelly

Meg Daniels isn't thrilled with the idea of serving as a replacement bridesmaid in an elaborate 1950s-style wedding in Wildwood, New Jersey. The wedding is thirty-six hours away and bridesmaid, Number 8, has stormed out after a tiff with the bride. Or, so everyone thinks. Everyone but Meg who is convinced she encountered the cold, dead arm of her predecessor in a laundry basket. Her assigned job is to smile and keep the line-up of bridal attendants balanced. Meg doesn't see it that way. Meg's best trait, and sometimes her worst, is that she doesn't give up.
