SOUNDS: If Our Life Had a Soundtrack

Scene 1: The camera rolls over a group of girls sitting around a table at a trendy sushi bar. It’s 5:30 pm on a Saturday. One of the girls fans her hand around showing off a fat engagement ring. Everyone “oohs” and “ahhs” over the new bling.

The climactic buildup: The group grows silent once the bride-to-be reveals a photo of the bridesmaid gowns they are to wear. It’s a fuchsia, satin concoction with lace trimming and white gloves. Oh the horror!

The resolution: The waitress comes over with a tray of piping hot green tea that spills all over the picture of the horrendous gown, reducing it to an inky, wilted mess. The girls try to hide their relief.
