Beany and the Dreaded Wedding Author:Susan Wojciechowski After school Carol Ann asked me to stop at her house to see her dress. I called my mom to let her know where I was.

It was bright purple, the color of my purple pizzazz cosmic crayon, with ruffles everywhere. The bottom part was... more » long and had a whole bunch of layers of lacy ruffles. The sleeves were made of lace, too. And Carol Ann was right--it stuck out a mile. It had a matching hat that looked like a Frisbee. There were lace gloves, too.
