Summary:

Dad warns Tim and Tiff to not get their fancy clothes dirty at the wedding. However, there is so much chaos that Tim and Tiff decide to hide somewhere safe. In their haste, they did not see that they went to a room with wet paint.  As they leaned against the wall to catch their breath, they got paint all over their clothes. Luckily, Dad isn't mad because he knows they tried their best.
