===The Engagement===
The party is in Shenanigans when Dar the sailor comes into Shenanigans, delivering a package to Desmond. Inside is some Ferret Jerky and a Flagon of Ale. Dar says the package was prepaid. Desmond wasn't expecting a package. Dar says he doesn't know who gave him to package to deliver. Desmond is suspicious of the package and lets Dar take the ale to drink for himself. Dar says he heard it is was the last ale created by Corni of Shirebrook and shares it with the party.
Borch Thunderbowls comes out of the kitchen and announces to Desmond that his Akuban mail-order-bridge will be here at the end of the week. Borch doesn't know her name or what she looks like, only she is on the way, and cost 100 gold. Borch Thunderbowls asks Dave Growl to play music for the ceremony. Dave agrees. Then Borch asks Kourie Silvertongue to throw a bachelor party that is appropriate for him.
:"My whole life has been building to this point!" answers Kourie.
Borch asks the party to get him a couple of Pixies for some Pixie Dust as an ingredient the Orcish Wine. The party will also have to find a priest or cleric of Nerual to officiate the ceremony. Borch then secretly asks Friar Morton Bixby to get him a dog to cook, as an Orcish delicacy. 
===Salad Bar===
The party decide to go after pixies first. Kourie says pixes can be found in the forest or in Sumptuous Sally's Salad Bar at the edge of town. There is a sign out side saying "going out of business - fire sale" with Sumptuous Sally alone inside. Sumptuous Sally is happy to see some people come into her establishment, business has been terrible. The party offer unwanted advice to improve business. Kourie barges into the kitchen and makes some alcoholic salad dressing, but the dressing doesn't turn out well, and ends up as a Bloody Mary instead. 
Dar's personality switches over to Bob.
Sumptuous Sally decides to commit fraud and sets the shop on fire for the insurance and takes Dave's idea of selling drugs instead. Sally decides to give the party directions to the pixies who had helped her gather the ingredients for her salads. They are told the pixies are at the grove of blackberry bushes near the old abandoned temple south of town.
===Pixie Hunt===
The party arrive at the abandoned temple to find Krewbarb sitting on a ruined wall, throwing pebbles. The party ignore the Kobolds and head to the blackberry bushes and start picking them.
Six pixies come out to confront the party, saying they can't pick their blackberries. Morton starts an Enthrall spell and gives a lecture on Goodberries. Only 2 of the 6 pixies aren't afflicted. Dave & Bob are also enthralled
Kourie flirts with the 2 non-enthralled pixies and share drinks with them, then heads with the blackberry bush and get intimate. After getting intimate, Kourie finds out people mostly make pixie dust by grinding up pixie wings. While pixies do shed it naturally over a great amount of time, they are usually captured and have their wings ripped off by other races.
When Morton is done with his speech, those who were enthralled discuss Morton's speech as the noise from Kourie and the others inside the bush are easily heard. Morton tries to tie up a distracted pixie, but they just fly up out of his reach.
Kourie, nude, comes out of the bush and confronts Morton over his actions. It is explained to the rest of the party how pixie dust is made, and the party are against getting the pixie dust now. The pixies says they would prefer to live in a house, but because of people hunting down pixie dust, they currently live in a blackberry bush.
The party promise to build a disguised house for the pixies in exchange for some pixie dust. Kourie who is a carpenter & engineer, gets to work.
After 2 days the pixie house is finished.
===Dog Hunting===
Bob & Morton go hunting down some stray dogs. Friar Morton Bixby tries to club one, but it just makes the dog bite him in return. Bob's personality shifts into Kelur the wizard. Kelur tries to use a shocking grasp, but misses. 3 more dogs come after the party.
The dogs bites Kelur unconscious and gang up on Morton. Morton takes one dog out and cries out for help as he is overwhelmed. After knocking out the 2nd dog, the other 2 are scared off. Morton then heals up Kelur and the unconscious dogs, before healing himself up.
They takes the dogs and tie them to the tree in the backyard of Shenanigans.
===Final Preparations===
Kourie is planning the Bachelor to be something special. Dave warns Kourie to just keep it simple, take Borch to the strip club for fun, but Kourie insists that instead something far more extravagant, a scavenger hunt with the bridge as the final goal. Dave says he believes this will go badly wrong, but agrees to help anyway.
Dave & Kourie then give Borch a make over. Dave gives Borch some very bad fashion advice however.
Morton takes Lizzy's measurements for a new dress, then gives the measurements to the dress maker. Why Morton was the one to do this and not the dressmaker is unknown.
Morton leads the party to the Temple in town to find a Priest of Neural to officiate the wedding. After the Clerics and Priests find out the bride is an Akuban, they decide they need to have a meeting to remove as much of the curses as they can.
Desmond then gets the party to write his best man's speech.
===The Bachelor Party===
Kourie arranges the Bachelor to occur the same day that the Akuban Bride will be arriving. Borch wanted it the night before, but Kourie convinces Borch that this will be better.
The scavenger hunt is to find the Akuban Bride who is hidden somewhere. The first clue to head to the Black Door Tavern. Borch then wins a dance contest against Krewbarb & Glib Glob. 
Next the party head to the old abandoned temple south of Bergshire. Borch then has to win a drinking contest against a person Kourie hired to be here. Borch however starts to loose the contests, to the hired person pretends to pass out to let Borch have the win. The next clue is that the Akuban Bride has been taken to the slave market in Wikkthronrarenta.
Borch is outraged by this news, and goes to Shenanigans to get geared up. Kourie gets the cart out and ready so they can go to the Capital City. The drunken Borch however isn't playing along and thinks it is for real so murders Kourie in the street for trying to sell is Akuban Bride as a slave.
