He's Not That Bad, Really
Though I may be biased
Rob, I take you as
my awful wedded husband,
said the blushing bride.

True story. That was my former sister-in-law's vow to my brother on that fateful day many years ago. It was a small service, with the bride and groom, and some close family members. Of course, we all started giggling when she made that slip.
The officiant tried to reign us in so he could complete the ceremony, but wasn't very successful considering he was laughing as much as we were. I think the only person there who wasn't laughing was my brother. Oops!

"I'll call you right back." Can't remember the password I've had for two years. --- True story. I waited 45 minutes for my coworker to arrive at the office to remind me of my password. I told everyone who called that I was a having a computer problem. hee hee.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Well, as per her own words, Gerald may be awful but at least he's not terrible. If he was terrible, he would've been left at the altar. I hope she made it up to him since then.
Wait, what - your FORMER SIL 🤣 loved it.
Great job
Right up there with "Untied United Methodist Church" (or anything else with "United" in the name).
This is really funny.
This is funny as F**K and as true as death and taxes.
Good one! Wow!! He may have saved himself some misery if he stopped it right then and there.😉 I thought I heard that at a wedding once. My husband at the time assured me it wasn't said. They are divorced too.
Great job!!!!
Oh man! A proper snafu. I hope he found the humor eventually, though!
