Sadie: So there we are, darlings – date set, all booked and sorted!
Effie: Oh Sadie, I’m so happy for you! You’ve waited so long to set your date.
Sadie: Well, my Dan is well worth waiting for…he’s got one last trip away for eight weeks, just before the wedding – he gets back two week before. Then he’ll be at home with me for ages and we can start work on baby-making.
Rowan: That timing’s a bit sneaky – he gets to miss out on the planning and organising!
Sadie: He can do his fair share before he goes! Anyway you know he’ll leave all the final choices up to me – and of course, I will have you two to help me.
Rowan: Oh great…that’s what I was afraid you were going to say…
Effie: Take no notice of Rowan! She’s in a funny mood today. Of course we’ll help you, we’d love to.
Effie: You can start seriously thinking about your dress now.
Sadie: I still want a pink one.
Rowan: You’ll look like Barbie.
Sadie: I bloody well hope so, darling. Anyway, I had a marvellous idea for you two. Would you wear the dresses that Rowan and I wore to your wedding, Effie? It would be kind of like a tradition!
Effie: Well, it’s a lovely idea, Sadie – but I don’t know if I will fit into one of those! I’m bigger than you two, and taller.
Sadie: Not by that much, darling. Anyway, I can let them out or down, or both! So will you wear them?
Effie: Of course I will. I’d love to – and you would too wouldn’t you Rowan?
Effie: Ro – ?
Rowan: Um – actually, I don’t think I’m going to be able to fit into one of those dresses, even if you let it out…
