Chapter 1: Time For A Change
The details are a bit hazy, but one of the first things I can remember clearly is Maddy yelling into the phone.
"What do you mean the wedding is at 1? You told me it was 2!"
This was at 11am. I yawned and got up. The sweltering heat was already a factor and I was dreading the thought of wearing my suit outside, let alone inside a stuffy church for an hour.
After another screaming match on the phone regarding shoes, Maddy was in quite a strop so I steered clear of her, and got ready at my own pace. I was well and truly ready by 12:30, so we jumped in my car, turned the air conditioning up to 4 and headed to Windsor for the wedding.
We arrived at about 12:50 and we had to wait for Maddy's brother George to arrive with her dress and shoes. He arrived about 5 minutes later, and that gave us 5 minutes to arrive at the church. Plenty of time.
Maddy begins putting on her beautiful white dress with the black and yellow floral print on it that she had been dying to wear since buying it for the Melbourne Cup which she didn't end up attending. I'm chatting away to George and I heard this grunting when Maddy taps me on the shoulder and asks for my help doing up the zip. It's one of those shoddy inlaid zips that is so thin you're scared it's going to snap off in your fingers.
We finally tease the zip up and as Maddy puts her arms down, the teeth give out and the zip bursts. She gets the dress off to try to unlock the zip. Her hands are shaking so much with rage that she can't hold the zip properly. I hesitated, but had a quick go, being careful not to tear the teeth and damage the dress any further, but had no luck.
At 1:10, Maddy drove George and I to the front of the church and we went in without her. She decided she'd go home and try to salvage the dress for the reception at 6:30.
