Luann by Greg Evans and Karen Evans for July 07, 2013

Happy “wife to be”, happy life to see…..

This shows that Toni is looking for a “partnership”… some would tell you that you even get “making mistakes wrong”…. there’s a lot of stress, depending on how much or how little they want taking place…..but “this bicycle is built for two”….

Sorry Brad, Toni’s not letting you off the hook THAT EASY!

It’d be nice if there were a kayak.com (airplane travel comparison) version for weddings.

the wedding is for the bride, the marriage is for the groom

“gve TJ back that smile”^Yeah, really!!! Gpod one!!! And how often does it really work for him, anyway?

I had one task to perform for my wedding, pick out the Tuxes. That’s it. My wife did the rest and she loved it.

“retty sure the woman iof his dreams ranks higher than TJ on his ‘will do for’ list.”^We all know that should be a given…. at least we should…. but a reminder is always good (for some that means a “kick in the butt” by the Mrs….only because they didn’t learn….) some learn now, some learn later and wished they learned now……

The other side to it is also that it can be easier to stay out of the way…. some ladies have deadly aim and "hide the landlines well’, so to speak….Brad has had a little of both with his mom…..

I was in Vietnam. My future wife (and her mother) planned it all. I merely had to show up, sign the wedding license, say “I do” in front of the preacher and guests and kiss the bride. All on the same day I got off the airplane after my second tour of Vietnam. She was a keeper. We had twenty-two good years together and three great kids before the black camel knelt at the door and she had to leave us.

Negotiations….

This experience is good for them… as long as the plans don’t include a table with “Prenup discussions” and Lawyers on either side…..

So the actual wedding will be when in real time? I’m thinking the over/under is New Year’s Day coming up.

Psst — ten percent of 228 is only 22.8, not 28!

There are only thre things required of the Groom. Show up on time, dressed and Sober

This is called “Foreshadowing”……..he says “I’m gonna love you for the rest of my life”…….he’s obviously gonna die in a fire………or she is……….maybe whoever it is will stay on as a ghost?

The Smart Man finds out what kind of Wedding SHE wants, and sees that She gets it!

Get serious, Bradley! You are not starting off in the right direction by making light of the wedding planning process—not these days, when the cost may well run over $20000 for a simple wedding!

Brad had better hire a consultant (Luann).

most likely they are in a no-fault community-property state, but given their apparent circumstances, a prenup does very little.

Happy Wife, Happy Life!

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

That one’s pretty SHARP ^Let’s hope their lawyers don’t try to make a point and cut my bank in half…(XD)

I haven’t read this comic in around a year or so. And of course my response is GETTING MARRIED?!?!

The worst thing any man can do is try to get too deeply involved in his own wedding plans. His primary mission is to show up, sober, shoes on the right feet, and with his fly zipped.

Well put Tokyo Tengu. That’s basically what I did. That, and make sure the rings were there.

Get Nancy to help you Toni, MIL’s LIVE for that sort of thing!

Apparently, Toni’s a modern enough woman that she thinks Brad should pull his weight with the plans. So she’s not going to let him pull a ‘I leave it in your capable hands, dear…’

they should get married on halloween,christmas or valentine’s day.

if most young folks put as much work into the marriage as they do into the wedding, there would be less divorce. It is NOT necessary to pay the equavelant to the down payment on a nice house, just to get married. A very nice wedding can be accomplished on about $2 thousand or less if you just keep your head. I watched a wedding show on TV the other day and that “Bride” spent $20,000.00 on her DRESS…… good gravy, that is stupid.

LEFT OVER, from yesterday:

@Mikeyj " I wasn’t happy about Moon Maid’s return to the Dick Tracy strip."VVDavidHuieGreen saidShe’s back?She was hot. I dug those antennae or horns or whatever they were.Let’s see, her kid had magnetic powers, right?

^^Yes, she’s back, but, might not be the real one (who died in a carbomb explosion), and yeah, her daughter had magnetic powers, but, they seem to have left her, and she’s become human from living on Earth for her whole lifeMoon Maid (possibly an imposter) and her daughter Honeymoon, from a recent Dick Tracy strip:VVhow to take a screenshot on a pc

hope she doesn’t turn into bridezilla….

Smart boy!

Brad? E.L.O.P.E! Its EASIER and CHEAPER.

Besides, Who’s gonna GIVE the Bride AWAY? Toni’s Injit Brother? PLEASE……,

Planning together is wonderful. I know.

Eek! Another ‘Zilla!Toni! Say it ain’t so!

I was told the groom’s job was to “shut up and show up”

Where is her engagement ring? Shouldn’t it be on her left hand?

But why didn’t she put it back on before Brad returned?

Weddings are a much-too-big-thing… everything that follows is bound to suffer in comparison.

I planed and made all the arrangement’s ran my legs off that day.my brides parents car vapor locked on the highway (105 that day in California July 6 1968

Vow to have no strippers at your bachelor party and you have a deal!

Sorry. Guys are not going to help you pick out your shoes. The groom’s job at the wedding is to show up on time in some semblance of properly dressed and sober enough to say “I do.” Although that last is optional. Bride’s mother chooses the photographer. The dress will be worn once, cleaned, carefully put in a hanger bag, and stored in the closet as a little shrine in remembrance of a wonderful day. Consequently, get a cheap gown. And Toni really, really, does not want Brad’s advice on her hair and nails.

Hard to believe that Toni would fall for that kind of hype.It is all made up to suck money out of the couple for the ‘wedding industry’.most of it is rediculous and meaningless.I thought she would be more practical and intelligent than that

Who’s going to pay for this wedding that requires that many decisions?

This would be a good time for a new episode of Bridezilla.

Story,there was wedding planning afoot..I sez “that’s a minor detail”..have yet to live it down..mr.md I am..truth

It’s called FLOP. The groom contributes to the Flowers, the Liquor, the Orchestra and the wedding Photography.

This is totally what my husband did. LOL!

I think Brad-boy is in for a rude awakening down the line.

I am a wedding planner. I hope he writes the joys of wedding planning like the food tastings, the cake tastings and leaves out the stresses of wedding planning.

Oh just hire a wedding planner. She will help you and take out the stresses of wedding planning and help you stay on budget.

Run, Brad, run!

George Washington did NOT have wooden teeth.

Aw, Brad is such a sweet heart :DDon’t let this one get away Toni!

Common help:-“Red or blue?”“Blue”“Red it is”-“Rice or bird seed?”“Rice”“Birdseed it is”-Actually, though, it’s good training for what follows.

Other than killing TJ if he doesn’t do the catering for free, where’s the money coming from to pay for it all ? Thats the 289th question. Oh did I forget ? Traditionally the brides parent pay for the wedding! Yeah; good luck there.

Oops. make that the 229th question. me math not so good

228 decisions really? Why make life so complicated, where, when, and how. She already has the who and she knows the why. So really it is just three other aspects to decide. It is one day out of the rest of your lives, don’t alienate everyone who would like to share it with you. If you can’t afford a lavish wedding now, making payments on it will add to a lot of stress later.

Toni’s got nice feet…Evans draws very nice feet..

He’s a keeper. Go for it Toni! He knows how to set priorities!

“Help me out planning the wedding” does not equal Bridezilla. And joking about there being a lot to the planning does not mean she is going over the top. Some of the choices may include things like The Degroot’s yard or the firehall? Daytona, DeGroot, or Daytona-DeGroot? Luann for maid of honor, or that old friend from fireschool? Brad’s house, her apartment, or a new place? What color should Shannon’s dress be? Some are more trivial than others, but they all add up.

Good try, Brad. Now hunker down and help her.

The best way to get out of doing wedding plans: Tell her you want a football or Planet Of The Apes themed wedding. (Thank you, Man Show.)

Birdseed, maybe, but rice is now prohibited in most places.

Sometimes, people make the assumption that the man only has to show up and say the ri(ght words, wear the attire they’re given, and don’t mess anything up…. sometimes that seems to be because some guys are not the “planning type”, or it seems as though the bride to be is the “planning type”….some places, the parents, of either the bride or groom step in and make all the decisions, based on tradition or who is footing the bill…. but it doesn’t always have to be all or nothing…. ==The main thing is that such should theoretically be a joyous occaision of anticipating the beautiful union….but some have become more stressful than they should be, because of the assumption that one of the above is “what should be” gets into the minds of someone during the process, where either they try to take over, or end up battling the bride, or the bride may assume that she has to go around trying to please everybody…==So whether the Bride is expected, or the couple gets to do it together, or the parents or someone else, the best advice is to have “confidential talk” ahead of time, those who are going to be involved, so that whatever the tradition or expectation is, the communication and execution of plans will not get too frustrated along the way (and even the Bible says that)….==This also can include how much is to be expected to pay, and if it is decided to have a “royal wedding”, then it can all be planned in advance, hopefully with the realization that someone will eventually have to pay for it… in this way, perhaps the realization of keeping costs down can come into play, and maybe it can end up that a wedding can still be beautiful without costing so much (for example, if someone would be glad to do the dress making or is good at making a cake or decorations, or can offer a discount on transportation)… with some creativity and imagination, you’d be surprised at what can be done….

And it also is good training for the husband and wife to be, when they take a stand together, which enriches and deepens the relationship, supporting each other during the process, as this will also happen in the challenges of life ….

That is a GOOD plan Brad

If Toni were to say “coitus” around Brad, he would think she was telling him he had bad breath_______OK, obsessive just became not funny.

And Toni and Brad seem to be having witty banter about this., too… I think that they have good minds in this process and Toni seems to be sarcastically joking about what one commenter was referring to as planners who try to get you hooked on “elaborating” the process….

Trust me they don’t want the grooms help. No mater how much they might ask for it.

I go away for a month and come back to see Levi is still spewing his warped fantasies. Congratulations, you get the attention your immature mind craves. But you are an embarrassment to luann fans and better suited for an anime site.

Okay, nitecap time…. Are we “going back to camp”, tomorrow? Crunching “imaginary odds calculations”, I hold a slight chance open for something else…..

“There is Toni, pretty and barefoot, sitting on the couch. It is Brad’s house. You can tell by the arched door. Now if they had been at Toni’s house with no TJ in the next room, I would wonder. If Brad had also been barefoot, I would wonder. But Brad is fully clothed, TJ is nearby planning his next theft. Toni just drop by to plan a wedding. No spending the night there, and no sex.”

Your reasoning is pretty lame here, in my opinion. We have no idea if TJ is there or not. He is not seen and has not been mentioned. They are both fully clothed, Toni just kicked off her flip flops before putting her feet up on the couch. Some people do not like to go barefoot, at all, ever. I will put on my house slippers just to walk the few feet to the bathroom at night. My slippers have hard soles, not the spongy type that have no support. Yeah, I know Brad is young and doesn’t have my problems, but I didn’t care to go barefoot when I was young and fit, either. TJ is probably out lining up details for his food truck business, and trying to figure out if he can fit a bed in there when he gets kicked out of the house.

“If you do not read the strip for another 4 years and come back again, they will still be getting married.”

Lol

Weddings can get out of hand so quickly. All that time and cost for something that has a less than 50% chance of succeeding…. tsk tsk

I’m a wedding planner. :)
