More out of town guests attended the wedding of the century!
 
The 4 Streit ferrets managed to attend the wedding.  Since Amber fights,
bites, and indulges in other embarrassing behavior, Mandy and Bandit refused
to travel with her.  They decided to ride Amtrack.  Mandy wanted a relaxing
trip so she could look her best at the wedding.  During the trip, she had
her lovely white coat brushed til it shined.  Amber and Big Bear, being more
adventurous, rode into town on the back of the racoon gang's motorcycles.
 
At the wedding, Mandy, Big Bear, and Bandit were on their best behavior.
Their well-bred "cousin" Burnie had arrived by limo, looking very handsome
indeed.  They didn't want to offend Burnie with scandalous behavior.  As was
expected, Amber was an embarrassment.  She arrived wearing a bright red
dress that was far too revealing.  Her racoon friends were wearing their
dirty biking clothes.  It smelled like they forgot to bathe.  Amber and the
racoons sat in the back of the church, passing a sack containing a bottle of
Linatone, snickering occasionally.
 
The ceremony's official bell ringer, Bandit, had been practicing at 3am for
weeks.  He did a splendid job.  However, as he returned to his seat from the
bell tower, Amber disrupted things by saying loudly, "I ought to kick his
little Bandit butt!" Mandy hissed her disapproval.  The racoons chuckled
with amusement.  Luckily the wedding party didn't hear this outburst.
 
When the lovely brides entered, even Amber realized it was a special moment
and quieted down.  All thought the vows were a moving tribute to the love
shared by the couples.
 
After the ceremony, everyone attended the reception.  The music of the
Ferretones was exceptional.  Big Bear couldn't decide whether to dance or
wrestle, so he did both.  Ferrets were very entertained by his championship
shoe-wrestling technique.  Mandy dooked and danced, especially when the
raisin tray arrived.  Bandit hid under a table when Amber came by looking
for a fight.
 
At dawn, the party ended, Big Bear, Mandy, and Bandit flew home with Burnie
in his chartered flight.  Amber and her racoon friends rode off into the
sunrise.  They spent the next 2 days annoying humans by digging up gardens.
Rumor has it the police are looking for them in regards to deposits placed
in corners with no litterboxes.
 
In summary, a good time was had by all!
