That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 02, 2020

As others congratulated her, all Anaïs could think of was the “accident” that might happen to her husband on their honeymoon.

After successfully stealing her sister’s fiancé, June thinks up ways of revenge on her bridesmaids.

♫“I got dozens of friends and the fun never ends

That is, as long as I’m buying…”♫

(Styx, “Too Much Time on my Hands”)

Maybe if I strangled this puppy they would leave me the BLEEP alone!

“Cheer up Sis, you’ll be happy to hear, he’s terrific in bed.”

“Sorry, Sis. There will be a time – some day – that you don’t have to get married just because you got knocked up. But this is not it.”

Amy knew that Meg, Jo and Beth had pushed her into Laurie’s arms hoping that after the wedding they would be invited to parties with eligible men.

Have you met my good friend Maria

The craziest girl on the block?

You’ll know her the minute you see her

She’s the one who is in an advanced state of shock

She thinks she’s in love

She thinks she’s in Spain

She isn’t in love

She’s merely insane

It must be the heat

Or some rare disease

Or too much to eat

Or maybe it’s fleas

“The happiest day of my life and I’ve got the worst case of PMS EVER!”

“BS Brown,” thought bridesmaid Brenda, as she adjusted the bride’s tiara in the mirror. “Mary get’s mauve and Rhona gets burnt umber, and I get bs brown. I hope she likes head lice.”

Damn…..I miss quaaludes!

Fiona is less than “aglow”/ and the reason you probably know/ it’s what you suspected/ (and her friends have detected)/ – Fiona is starting to “show”..

“‘Til Death” is a long time coming.

“Shoot, I can’t say wait until we’re married any more.” thought Fiona as the line from a Rolling Stones song registered in her mind: ♪ Marrying money is a full time job ♫…

Girlfriends assuring that their gay relationship will continue, even after she marries that dude.

“No, dear, you don’t have a temperature. You’re just feeling weak and tired because of pre-wedding jitters.” – bridesmaids reassuring the lady of the hour that she doesn’t have Corona Virus

Her friends knew that Fiona had a temper, and they saw it as their duty to sooth her until after the fateful words had been said (otherwise THEY would be stuck with her)

Kathy Griffin sulking after her last stunt gathered no attention.

“Let’s just get this damn charade over with!”

“Just close your eyes and think of England, Dear. In any case, its over quickly.”

Conjoined triplets all gussied up for the ball.

BRIDESMAID: You’ve got the dog and tonight you’ll get the bone. Get it? Know what I mean? Bone? Boy. Tough crowd…

BRIDE: I’VE JUST DECIDED – NO BRIDESMAID SPEECH TONIGHT!

Bette Davis was never big on getting married.

Catherine had left nothing to chance. She knew exactly how much arsenic to put into her betrothed champagne.

“Just stop telling me he’s ‘buying the cow’.”

All right, I have the “crazy eyes” down…if I can hold the split pea soup down until just the right moment, I can make my escape!

the bride maids were so happy that they could keep thier dresses after the ceremony.that much cloth would keep them in clothes for years.

And the Dragoncat Award for Best Poetry Club goes to … Call me Ishmael!

You’re quite the inspiration, I’ve noticed…

This is the LAST time I play the switcheroo game with my identical twin sister so that she can be with her boyfriend …

Fiona created the term “High Maintenance”

Getting too loose before she marries Toulouse.
