Our protagonist, a groomsman at his college buddy Tom’s wedding, was ‘assigned’ to a bridesmaid named Kelly. He soon realized that they were paired together simply because they were both black. However, things took a turn for the worse when he decided to dance with another bridesmaid, Jen, instead of Kelly.
