    Well, I am guessing Luann and family and friends have never been through a Coast storm…OK here (leaves and tree branches everywhere!), but Manzanita is a mess. They had a nasty tornado that tore up part of the town. Luann and family and friends live in a rather boring town weather-wise, don’t they?! Well, at least everything is still in One Piece in Pitts! :)

    I was thinking its too early for a pre-wedding celebration since Brad and Toni aren’t getting married until the 11th of December. But, maybe not? It Is only a little bit less than two months away… =-O

    Cute! And kind of surprising, since Toni is the only woman in evidence, and (in my experience) it’s usually the women who pull celebrations like this together. ;) (My apologies to anyone who might have commented on that yesterday – I was out and haven’t gone back to read yesterday’s comments.)

    Lyrics are to “The Best is Yet To Come,” often sung by Tony Bennett. I have a (CD) boombox just like that, so no time travel necessary.

    It’s Tony Bennett, people, not Tony Orlando. “The Best Is Yet to Come” is a Rat Pack era standard (think Las Vegas in about 1962). Tony Orlando and Dawn never did a cover of that song.

    Hah! Today’s comic has turned out very cute and very fun! I am surprised by the celebratory tone and the silliness of it. Very nice.

    .

    One question….. in regard to “Broni”…. I realize this is a mashing of the two names “Brad” and “Toni” as a couple…. but my question is….. is this a recent phenomena or is it something folks have done for quite a long time?

    .

    I first noticed one of these “mashing” of name things associated with two celebrities… perhaps four or five years ago. But, I do not know if this is just a new thing (from about four or five years ago) or if there is some sort of bigger background about this mashing of names and if it may be associated with some sort of older custom I am not familiar with.

    My only comment is that this is so fun, and all part of the careful march up to December 11. Well I do agree that in a Chicago firehouse there would be Italian Beef and Sausage, Connie’s or similar pizza, Harold’s Fried Chicken, Zaco Tacos, Cantonese Chef Fried Rice, and other nice local food, not to mention the firehouse food. Our firefighters know how to cook, you can’t survive her without knowing that.

    “Matrimony Ceremony”

    .

    The last guy just revealed their secret plot. Toni & Brad are going to get married right there, and these “broni” meal is their reception. What a great idea— a surprise wedding that is a surprise even to the bride & groom.

    For the last 3 months we have been prepping for this wedding, from bride’s maid gowns to bride’s cold feet, to concerned parents, to this silly party at the fire house. This is not Greg’s Last Hurrah, but it certainly is his big story of the year. Okay, Greg, do your thing. The high school prom was a good arc, the Rosa/Gunther escape to Peru fell flat,so let’s hope that this is an event to remember.

    That’s my recollection too – “Bennifer” was the first – but – it was coined for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, not Brad Pitt and Jennifer Garner (I don’t recall that Brad and Jlo were ever a couple). More like 15 years ago.

    From Wiki “supercouples”: Former pairing Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez incited unprecedented media attention for an American modern-day supercouple during their 2002-2004 courtship.6 The two were referred to as the first superstar couple of the Internet age,115 and the pairing’s popularity resulted in their being known by the portmanteau “Bennifer” (for Ben and Jennifer) to the media, as well as to fans using the name combination.5 The term Bennifer itself became popular, and started the trend of other celebrity couples being referred to by the combination of each other’s first names.
