Brings to mind the Lovin’ Spoonful song “Did you ever have to make up your mind.”
Guess it’s time to finally decide.
Wait until he hears the news that his #1 fantasy will never happen….
I like how the groom went from hungover depressed in the original to stoner smirk in the revision.
If he ever catches her cheating, she can claim to be the twin he didn’t marry.
Wow, Rudolf, that would make an interesting followup Last Kiss episode!
Actually, I would add to it– Her smile widened, then she stumbled and almost fell, realizing that the man on her arm was also standing by the door of the church–smirking.
Nice.
Maybe one of the other Beatles would have been better.
