Comment from Judian James
Good one Carol. I guessed early on, but it was still so much fun to read. I've been sent on seminars like that to places like Nassau and you're scheduled from 8am until 5pm followed by mandatory cocktail parties! excellent piece of writing from the perspective of two young women. well done

Comment from BethShelby
This is a fun story. I can imagine something like that really happening. But Hillary would have to be more gracious that I imagined her to be to invite two strangers to her daughter's wedding. The part about the conversation from the bathroom stall is totally believable.

Hi Carol,
What a great story and very believable. I can see something like this happening. I saw one nit...
She'd just been caught gossiping about theformer first lady and her family by none other than the woman herself.
(space between the and former)
Your story is interesting and has a good flow. A pleasure to read and review.

Comment from rama devi
WOW--what a tale! is it fact or fiction? (i thought the contest required non-fiction but this is listed as fiction so am unsure).
Anyway, it is very well penned with superb flow, development and dialog. I could see the scenes flash like a film in my mind.
Couple of suggestions-
*back to back speakers
maybe use hyphens.
back-to-back
*Simultaneously, their mouths dropped open and their eyes were glued to the couple(')s activity.
*"Excu-," the woman's voice started to reply. (no comma after dash)
*She'd just been caught gossiping about theformer first lady add space between THE and FORMER
Good work. A strong contender.
So, did this actually occur?
If so--wow. if not, good idea for the story.
Love, rd
