Jennie used her phone to take some pictures of the Lodge's Christmas tree for the email newsletter. She paused for a moment to reflect on the past couple of weeks. True to their word, the carpenters had the kitchen ready to go in 3 days. That included taking out all of the smoke-damaged wood, so there was no way to tell there had been a fire. Chaeyoung was pleased with the new appliances - they were all basic but sturdy; Jennie couldn't afford anything fancy and Chaeyoung said she probably wouldn't have used the fancy features anyway.
When the fire inspector had come out to inspect the new kitchen, some of the firefighters had come along with him. They declared Jisoo an honorary firefighter for putting out the kitchen fire. After new new kitchen was declared safe by the inspector, Chaeyoung had the firefighters stay for lunch.

As Jisoo and Chaeyoung cleaned up the kitchen after lunch, Jisoo chattered on about what she was finding in the bridal magazines. Chaeyoung listened with half an ear - it wasn't that she didn't care, just that she knew Jisoo cared a whole lot more than she did, so it was Jisoo who ultimately had to be made happy.
"And you know what?" Jisoo asked.
Since they had already covered flowers, linen, reception menu, DJ versus band, who would perform the ceremony, and various thoughts on dresses, Chaeyoung honestly had no idea what would come up next. "What?"
"Chief Kim said that since I'm an honorary firefighter now, we can have a fire department honor guard at our wedding!"

Chaeyoung smiled indulgently. "I guess that will be pretty awesome - I've never known anyone who's had that. And it'd look a lot better then an honor guard of chefs in dress whites, holding their knifes over us."
Jisoo playfully splashed some water at Chaeyoung, who quickly stepped back. "Now you're just making fun of me!" she said. "That never happens!"
"No, it doesn't," Chaeyoung admitted. "But think how cool it would be."
"I guess. . ." Jisoo admitted hesitantly. "This doesn't mean your thinking of wearing your chef's whites for the wedding, does it?"
Chaeyoung laughed. "No, I thought about it, but I think I'd rather have a dress."
"I'm flattered!" Jisoo said. "I don't think I've ever seen you wear a dress, but you want t
