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.

Delicious Nightmares
There is nothing novel in the observation that a good cinema experience is akin to a waking dream. We sit in darkness and become enveloped in a world of images that we piece together to form a narrative. Sometimes the images overpower us and we struggle with the paralysis of a nightmare. And then the lights come back up and we take a breath to remember it was not real, we were not in that car crash, we were not in a fight, we were not a lover being romanced. And we need a moment between the last credit and the real world to gather our thoughts to find meaning in what we have seen.

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!!!!
