Two single people, by some ancient alchemy, became one. Believed in the transcendent magic of love. At some point in all wonderful weddings there was a moment when everyone believed. It didnвЂ™t matter whether the bride and groom were waltzing under a crystal chandelier to the strains of a classical quartet or wandering up a dirt road followed by a horde of toothless villagers banging on goatskin drums. There was always some moment when the civilised veneer of the ceremony fell away and the primal pagan ritual was revealed. She breathed deeply and looked back through the glass into the room where bodies surged in a chaos of light and magic. A damp shawl of misty, cool darkness draped across her shoulders. After a passable impression of a human pinball, Claire was catapulted outside and found herself hanging over the railing looking into the inky blackness of Sydney Harbour. And she would have made it out the door too, with the same simple elegance, if she had managed to adequately judge the distance between two chiffon-swathed chairs. She strode purposefully towards the bag and swept it from the table with what she hoped looked like a simple, elegant, bangled gesture. Wendy Harmer Peering through the gloom at the back of the ballroom Claire saw her lilac evening bag glimmering by the light of a cluster of gardenia-scented candles. Unsurprisingly, all eyes were on the bride and groom, so she hauled herself to her feet, checked spaghetti straps and slingbacks, smoothed her satin skirt, adjusted her sequins and tried to affect an air of insouciance. She quickly realised that no one had seen her. On this occasion, that someone was Claire. The person up the front seductively wiggles a hip and down the end, sixty drunken idiots later, someone is whiplashed at terminal velocity into a miniature golden palm.

The theory goes that somewhere in the world a butterfly flaps its wings and eventually thereвЂ™s a tsunami on a remote island off Japan. The conga line is like the Chaos Theory in action, Claire thought to herself as she picked a dead frond from her cleavage.

She was flung off the end of a giant conga line into a pot plant. It was hardly the discreet exit sheвЂ™d been planning for the past two hours. Saturday Night The Wedding The Wedding It was late when Claire finally found her means of escape from the dance floor.
