“Marge, your she-shed is finished. The waiting is over. Go to your prince.”
Nard smirked. “Ernest’s just waiting for Marge to get back in charge.”
“Ilene, the wedding’ll be in the garage, get started on decorating. Lloyd, you get ordained, get some words together. Nick, invitations. Remember, I can barely stand you most days, so take care who you invite from the dealership. Kristof, since you still claim this peckerhead as your boyfriend, you’ll be involved too. You and Nard’ll take care of food. Ernest, we’ll need a lot of beer.”
“Ernest, you poor thing. The waiting is over.”

The June 20, 2019, prompt from Carrot Ranch: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about having to wait. Who is waiting and what for? Think about how the wait impacts the character or the story. Go where the prompt leads!
These 99 words continue the situation of Ernest and Marge. The whole thing, including a longer version of this scene is on their page HERE.

What a flurry of activity this wedding is creating. I hope they can pull it off and don’t regret not waiting longer. 🙂

Marge and Ernest will be just fine. They’re going for it, as they’re not getting any younger. See you at the wedding of not before.

Ha! Ernest will have lots to do, for now, and forever. Love how all the friends are pitching in, each with their assignment.
