About to get married in a few weeks. Had everything planned, and in place. It wasn’t going to be a big wedding just family and close friends.
My maid of honor was a little pregnant, (okay a lot pregnant) with a chance of giving birth before our wedding day.
During the wedding rehearsal, I thought she looked a little piqued and asked if she was going to be okay. “No worries.”
Thank goodness I had a backup maid of honor, my sister in law Jackie as Shelley gave birth to a baby boy on the eve of our wedding.
This short story was written for a flash fiction challenge over at Carrot Ranch. In 99 words (no more, no less) write a short story using the term backup or back up. If you’d like to join us please do so. We have a lot of fun at the ranch. Hope to see you there!

Somebody who was in my cousin’s wedding party last summer was pregnant. Fortunately, she waited until after the wedding.

Ha! I laughed at the aside “(okay a lot pregnant)”! Always good to have a backup maid of honor in such situations.A creative take on the prompt, Susan.
