Beth

Miguel:  Hey Beth, you have any big Labor Day weekend plans?

Beth:  I do. I’m going to a wedding in wine country, so I’ll probably be outdoors all day, or, all weekend.

Miguel:  Wine country, California? Or wine country, Oregon?

Beth:  Wine country, Oregon. And, uh, it should be pretty cool. I think it’s going to be in a place that overlooks all these orchards and the vineyards, and it should be pretty awesome.

Miguel:  Is it a family wedding, or a friend, or who’s getting married?

Beth:  A friend. It’s, uh, someone that I’ve met since I’ve lived here and she is really fun, so I think it’s going to be a great crowd at her wedding.

Miguel:  So you think it’ll be a party crowd, like people’ll be dancing and really, you know, whooping it up, having fun?

Beth:  Oh yeah, especially with all the wind and the, uh, wedding celebration should be a blast.
