Rain on your wedding day is good luck, they cooed.
So she slipped from the chapel–bouquet in one hand, umbrella in the other–and headed for the Greyhound station. She wasn’t going to screw this up.
One-way ticket to Vegas, please.

Oooh, I love it! That rain on your wedding day thing, does that mean clear skies are bad luck? I love that she jumped at the opportunity to venture out with only luck by her side.

Fabulous story, Genna! I was so excited to see you on the grid :) Expert timing and punch line. What I really liked, though, was the line, “She wasn’t going to screw this up.” The photo complements it all perfectly.

Such an opportunist! It says a lot about her that she chose to go it alone.
