Plot
Dawn is in California for her extended stay, and her dad is marrying his girlfriend, Carol. She invites the whole club, but only Kristy and MaryAnne can go - Claudia wants to but can't afford it, so Dawn's dad "hires" her to come and help with the wedding, paying for half her plane ticket. I don't know why that arrangement gets made for her but no one else, but whatevs.
The reason the entire club can't make the trip is because Mrs. Barrett is marrying her boyfriend, Mr. DeWitt, ON THE SAME WEEKEND (which of course makes Dawn angry, because why didn't Mrs. Barrett check with the BSC first to make sure that weekend would work?) so Shannon and Mallory are hired as "wedding babysitters" (because of course no one can watch the children on this special day) and Stacey is in the wedding as a bridesmaid (.....). Jessi is also working, as a mall Santa (...).
Since they can't all be together, Dawn decides they should each have to keep a journal, to compile into a book about these weddings.
Highlights
- This book makes no sense.
- Dawn's dad and Carol ask her to be maid of honor. For some reason, she takes that to mean she is in charge of picking the bridesmaids. So she picks out a dress and asks MaryAnne to be a bridesmaid. MA is pissed at first bc why would Dawn assume she wants to be the center of attention? But then MA is excited about it. And THEN Dawn's dad drops the bomb that Dawn has no fucking clue what she is talking about and the complete wedding party is Dad, Carol, Dawn and Jeff and that's it. So then MA is mad that Dawn is stupid. But they cry and make up in time for the wedding.
- Claudia is "hired" help, so she has to pick out flowers and take photos at the wedding.
- Kristy gets all buddy buddy with the We Love Kids Club (even though she hates their club) and plans a goodbye party for Dawn because after the wedding she is going back to Stoneybrook forever (nope).
- Meanwhile, back in Stoneybrook, Mrs. Barrett asks Stacey to be a bridesmaid about a week before the wedding. One of her friends backed out at the last minute. I mean, I guess I get it because it's not like a 13 year old is really going to have anything else going on, and she could fit into the dress. But who would want a 13 year old in her wedding party.
- So at the wedding, Shannon takes the youngest kid out of the church bc he is crying, so she just sits and cuddles him during the ceremony. Meanwhile Mallory gets to handle like four fucking brats all by herself. I would be pissed if I were Mallory.
- Oh and also Mallory is fighting with her boyfriend, Ben, because she agreed to go caroling with him on the wedding day, but then remembers it's the wedding day so she calls to cancel and Ben gets irrationally pissed. But then they make up and just go caroling the next day.
- Meanwhile, at the mall, the mall Santa has backed out and they need a replacement. Out of all of the people in the world, why not have an 11 year old do it? There are probably 11 year olds still going to SEE SANTA. What the fuck is wrong with this town that the only people who can do anything are 11-13 year old girls?
- Also, after the Barrett-DeWitt wedding, those families are combining into one house. Guess who gets called to help them move? THE BSC DUH.
