Even the girls you secretly hate all came for the free food and drink. And just when you are about to say your vows, the padre be like,”Does he snore?” and you hurriedly answer,”Yeah. He’s a little too loud but I always manage” since you just want to finish things up and kick it off to your honeymoon?. Just then, it hits you. Loud silence… a heavy quiet mood and then a repulsive and menacing murmur as the audience breaks into gasps and sighs. Busted. Too much for the white dress…purity huh? For better, for worse.
