Read the following passage carefully. Which sentence foreshadows that the wedding will not go as planned?
Joe and Jill had been planning their wedding for months. In the weeks leading up the big day, they had checked the weather forecast obsessively to see if they would be able to get married in Jill's mother's rose garden or if they would have to move the ceremony indoors. All the forecasts said the weather would be sunny and warm, perfect for an outdoor ceremony. On the morning of the event, while Jill and her bridesmaids got ready, Joe and his groomsman set up tables and chairs in the garden. They decorated each table with a crisp white tablecloth and a vase of flowers. As they headed inside to change into their tuxedos, one of the groomsman noticed a dark cloud far off in the distance.

As he let go, she couldn’t help but think of when she first learned to ride a bike. She could still feel her heart racing and remember how scared she was, waiting for her dad to let go. She knew exactly how her brother was feeling.

“Don’t miss, don’t miss, DON’T miss,” is all I could hear in my head. Well, that, and the 10,000 fans around me. Standing at the foul line I couldn’t help but think back to the championship game last year. The feeling of missing the game winning foul shots will stay with me forever. That was motivation though for me to get better in the off- season.
