Fistfights

Um. Lu Ann. You do too know how dangerous wedding planning can be. Do you remember nothing of the Paul Linski 100% natural good-time family wedding solution? You know, when you half-heartedly accepted Paul's proposal and he immediately bought the house next to his parents' house and declared your wedding dress needed sleeves and his family was not satisfied by your obvious lack of enthusiasm and ran a background check to figure out you're a war widow which means you're a liar and a big ho I guess?

Anyway. I still love Margo's huge brushstroke of "Family should never be involved in wedding plans!" She is so right, family's are such a nuisance when they care about stuff! If only we could just exclude them from Thanksgiving and Christmas and high school graduations, too.

Speaking as someone preparing to travel next week to spend Thanksgiving with family, you are completely right. Just disown them all!

And, as I recall, LuAnn herself let Ruby - who turned out to be her mother, no less - pick her wedding dress. How quickly they forget.

Margo's crazy, nothing liven's up a wedding like a good fistfight. IMO every wedding should have one.

I also choose to believe that 'Sam and his battalion of experts' are Margo's 'Despicable me'-ish army of minions. I hope Gabby's comfortable with hosts of short, blobby lemon-complexioned people milling about.

I laughed at your secret message today, but I believe Margo would object to it. She would never do anything so indecorous as "puke." She would freeze her mother to the spot with an icy glare and a perfectly chosen sharp word.

Touchee. Margo would never under any circumstances throw up and risk soiling herself in the process, even to prove a point. (And of course she never needs to--the lady can hold her liquor.)

There's no "I" in Teamocil, at least not where you'd think...
