Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for May 30, 2022

Enter Mr. Otterloop, head of security.

oh, this’ll be quite the fun preschool picnic, won’t it?

And also, should I tell Miss Bliss your reply was BLEAH!

Bleah IS the appropriate answer.

I was only a bridesmaid once and she gave me a colour, white or cream, and allowed me to choose my own dress. I still have it, it is beautiful.

And although I looked beautiful, I absolutely did not take any attention away from the stunning bride.

No bile green, thank goodness!

The sole purpose of bridesmaids dresses is to make the bride look fabulous by comparison. One (and only thank goodness) I had to wear was chartreuse which is basically a slightly more yellow and a bit brighter green than bile, plus it looked like an a-line tent.

Had a very small wedding at home, never liked the idea of a big show.

Isn’t that the dress that makes her itch?

Security sounds fun….do they get cool t-shirts?

I had my sister as the Best Lady. She picked her dress and the color. Made life easier for both of us.

1. NO to wearing your party dress at the picnic, Alice! Too much danger of mustard, ketchup, and assorted other dress disasters!

2. BLEAH. Quite right, Madeline. I sympathize. When in grad school, I was a groomsman in two different friends’ weddings. Couldn’t have been more different. One was tiny, with ordinary business attire. The other was larger, more formal, and more of a challenge!
