"The bride's about to toss the bouquet, so all you single and ready-to-mingle folks, gather 'round! This could be your lucky shot!" the wedding emcee announced with a flourish. Anya immediately lifted her dress. "Where do you think you're going?" Leo blocked her path.

"To catch the bouquet, duh. Move over, Chad."

Mia, cradling her baby, scanned the crowd for her husband..

Andre watched his young wife's antics from the sidelines.

"Honey-" Mia finally spotted Andre and sweetly called out, rushing over to pass the baby into his arms before making a break for the bouquet toss.

But Andre quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace. "And where do you think you're going?"

"To catch the bouquet!"

"Come here and remember who your husband is, and whose baby you're holding," Andre scolded, steering his wife pretending to be single back to the sidelines. "Oh, come on, babe, listen to me~ I wasn't looking for anyone else. I just thought Molly's bouquet was pretty," Mia's voice trailed off, still trying to justify her actions.

As luck would have it, Molly's expert throw landed the bouquet smack on Anya's head.

On the stage, Anya: "..."

Offstage, Leo: "..."

Mrs. Cedillo, curious about the commotion, hurried out to see who caught the bouquet.

"Congratulations to our bridesmaid, Anya."

Anya was dazed, holding the flowers, having only wanted to join in the fun but ending up with the bouquet.

The emcee approached her, "Does the bridesmaid have a boyfriend?"

Anya shook her head, still bewildered.

Leo turned away, settling down in a seat away from the stage, his interest lost.
