Here Comes the Bride

A

I can’t believe that Anthony is finally getting married!

B

Yeah well it’s about time! He’s been living with his parents for 40 years!

A

Don’t be mean. Look here come the bridesmaids! Their dresses look beautiful!

B

Who are those kids walking down the aisle?

A

That’s the flower girl and the ring bearer. I’m pretty sure they’re the groom’s niece and nephew. Oh, they look so cute!

B

I just hope the priest makes it quick. I’m starving. I hope the food’s good at the reception.

A

That’s all you ever think about, food! Oh, I think the bride’s coming now! She looks gorgeous. Wait, what’s she doing? Where’s she going?

B

Oh great! Does this mean that the reception is canceled?
