Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 15, 2023

If Mark wants a confrontation, he better hope his father shows up.

Only gays? Surely Mike, Joanie and their spouses would have no trouble with it?

I’m totally perplexed about what these two people see in each other anyway.

I don’t recall Mark ever sounding so aggressive. He’s generally so mild and soft-spoken,

He wanted a confrontational wedding? Typical podcaster.

My mother resisted the idea of my wedding, but at the last minute she signed on to the flowers my sisters sent. People do come around, sometimes.

The wedding should be 8 people (plus the officiate) max. The reception – as many as you can afford!

this is one story line that didn’t age well.

I’m not feeling the love

Flowers, and dressed impeccably. No chaps.

I suppose, at one time or another, we all want everyone else to change so we don’t have to.

When I was younger, it surprised me how many people use their wedding day to unleash their inner tyrant… .As I got older I saw it was actually the norm and not that unusual….

I’ve been married twice. Small weddings. No drama. No theater.

Then as now, gay people simply daring to exist is “shoving it in my face” to some people.

Good definition of most weddings! Flowery confrontation (following by bad inebriated dancing)
