Good luck, pal. Have a nice life with her.

One time I was 31 minutes old.

He decided to marry your maid Of honor

You had half an hour to read the writing on the wall

I don’t think even my uncle would go out with her!

Based on recent news about the wording of baptism rites being valid, it is time for him to check the priest’s wording carefully.

Better never than late with this one!

So, run. Run fast, run silent, run deep, but run! Run for your life!

Ah, yes. His future in a single comment. Those flowers look deadly in her hands.

Well? … Speak now or forever hold your peace.

She was born late, and graduated late. Now if she is late for her own funeral, she’ll have a complete set!

I told my wife, “Meet me at the corner of X Street and Y Street (the church) at 2 PM. Wear white.”

A blushing bride? No, that looks more like anger.

Should be a nice short marriage.

Her name is Frank.

Run now….last chance…

I wondered what had happened to my buddy’s ex.

Nothing, Dear. And my – it was sure worth the wait!

She’s a real keeper.

My ex was always late. I think she had her own Time Zone.

Takes time to trowel on the makeup you know.. best you get used to it.

…and so it begins.

RUN!

My ex-husband and I were both late to our wedding. LOL.

Act 8:36  And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? Act 8:37  And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 

“….get used to it!! It takes longer than you might think to look THIS beautiful!!”

I like the bouquet that looks like the corona virus

He already got married, and thankfully not to her.

It’s so much more likely it’s the other way around… small woman gets married to a larger, overbearing man who had been nice during courting but turns out to think he owns her after the marriage is sealed.

As a lapse catholic, how dam stupid of the priest to make that mistake! Why should be up to the couples rectify the error, just get Pope Frankie to issue a degree to verbalize the lapse baptisms

My response would’ve been: “So… I’m outta here.”

(I grew up with that attitude in the house; I neither need nor want it around any other part of my life.)

With 30 minutes to escape… he deserves what he gets.

A fine beginning.

This made me think of a very old Dear Abby letter:

Many years before, as a bride about to say “I do,” the letter writer spoke up when the preacher asked if there were any objections. She said, “I won’t marry him, because he promised he wouldn’t take another drink, and just now I smelled liquor on his breath.” All this in front of a big crowd, big church wedding, etc., but she said her father backed her up completely. Fast forward to the present: she wrote that she’d been very happily married to a different man for the last 50 years.

Moral of the story (to the groom in the cartoon): “Get out while you still can, man!”

RUN! I do kills a relationship
