Piper's method of finding out wasn't ideal.
Why hadn't Patricia told her earlier? They're sisters. Twin sisters. They're supposed to tell each other everything. That's how it works. Piper tells her about her friends, her achievements, and even about the (now ex) boyfriend she had in 9th grade. She always thought Patricia did the same. Apparently not. She had no idea that Eddie and Patricia were dating until, well, the day that he kissed her.
Of course, she had been told some stuff about the blond American. She's heard about his obnoxiousness, his rudeness, his cockiness... And she probably would be able to tell if they video chatted more. But, no, it was usually over emails and IM's, and you can't get much emotion over those.
But when Eddie kissed her... Well. She was confused, for sure. Wondering if this was a first-time thing. Convinced, actually. They can't be dating. Patricia would have told her.
... Right?
And then she went to dinner with him and his father. Jesus, that was interesting. Mr. Sweet was fantastic, don't get her wrong! But it was weird, pretending to be her sister. Not that they haven't done it before; in kindergarten, to mess with their teacher; at home, to annoy their parents... But never really that seriously. And now, she was out to dinner with her twin's boyfriend and his father (who also happens to be the principal of Patricia's school, which was strange. They don't even look alike!), and Eddie was going to kiss her again, and thoughts of "No, stop, I'm Piper, I like Alfie!" screaming in her head. But, in the knick of time, Patricia crawls out from under the table, calling, "No, no!" And the puzzle came together instantly. Because Patricia hates blowing her cover, and if she was willing to stop this whole facade after trying so hard to make it happen in the first place, she must really care about this kid.
Being the maid of honor of their wedding was a proud moment for her, especially after she caught the bouquet, and gave a small smile to Alfie (despite the fact that he had a glaring Amber on his arm).
How it is that her sister, Militia Patricia, was married before herself is still a wonder to her.
