Dem convention to set new trend for engagement parties?

[SoCalDem]

Scene 1:

All the friends & family have gathered to celebrate the engagement of James & Tiffany.. They are the perfect couple..all the guests agree..

Everyone's assembled in the party room, the food should be great..there's entertainment.. Everyone's so excited.

James's parents are prepared make toasts to the happy couple, telling all assembled how much they love Tiffany, and how perfect she is for their son.... Her folks can't wait to do the same.. Friends have little notes, with all their funny and touching stories about the couple, written down...ready to tell the gathered friends & family..

(clink-clink-clink)..someone's tapped a champagne glass, to get everyone's attention...the "tell-all" portion of the evening is about to start:


BUT... before any of that happens, in walks.......(drum roll)

Sarah...(James' ex-girlfriend)...and Louis ( Tiffany's ex-boyfriend)..

and trailing behind them..THEIR parents & friends.. They all gather at the head-table, and wrest away the microphones..and ask for THEIR champagne.

Louis regails everyone in the room, with cute stories from when he and Tiffany dated...like the first time she "stayed over"..and the time, they had a "scare"...no one's laughing..

Then Sarah approaches Tiffany, and insists on trying on her engagement ring...and has her friends gather to take some pictures of HER wearing the ring.. She reminds the crowd of all the times SHE had to pay the rent on the place they shared, because James blew the money on rims for his car, or lost it in poker with his buddies.. She tells them all about how they had picked out names for THEIR children, and how she's had to start taking anti-depressants, because she's just so angry and sad..all the time.. and how, she KNOWS that James really still loves HER... her friends all hoot and holler and say "Sarrrrrrahhhh, Sarrrrrrahhhh, Sarrrrrahhhhh!"...

Scene 2:

Sarah & Louis & their friends have finally left, but the mood is somehow "different" now..

All are wondering about the wedding day now.. Will those two show up with their friends and disrupt that day as well?
