He's Not That Bad, Really
Though I may be biased
Rob, I take you as
my awful wedded husband,
said the blushing bride.
***
True story. That was my former sister-in-law's vow to my brother on that fateful day many years ago. It was a small service, with the bride and groom, and some close family members. Of course, we all started giggling when she made that slip.
The officiant tried to reign us in so he could complete the ceremony, but wasn't very successful considering he was laughing as much as we were. I think the only person there who wasn't laughing was my brother. Oops!

"I'll call you right back." Can't remember the password I've had for two years. --- True story. I waited 45 minutes for my coworker to arrive at the office to remind me of my password. I told everyone who called that I was a having a computer problem. hee hee.

— Hooking in the Reader — MANY among us write with an introduction using logos and 'Handles,' I use my name proudly for better or worse — I Yam what I Yam — And that's All that I Am. I know that I'm not everyone's page-turner preference; I'm ok with that. If we are going to be out-there within this fabulous platform on a Global basis, then be out there as YOU! How would your closest friends over the years describe you? Who from our VM Village would you like to sit down at the Cheesecake Factory and actually speak to in person. No, not just a virtual friend, but touchy-feely 'real,' I can think of several, I'd even treat!

Well, as per her own words, Gerald may be awful but at least he's not terrible. If he was terrible, he would've been left at the altar. I hope she made it up to him since then.
Wait, what - your FORMER SIL 🤣 loved it.
Great job
Right up there with "Untied United Methodist Church" (or anything else with "United" in the name).
This is really funny.
This is funny as F**K and as true as death and taxes.
Good one! Wow!! He may have saved himself some misery if he stopped it right then and there.😉 I thought I heard that at a wedding once. My husband at the time assured me it wasn't said. They are divorced too.
Great job!!!!
