I can't believe that Anthony is finally getting married! Yeah, well it's about time. He's been living with his parents for 40 years. Don't be mean. Look, here come the bridesmaids. Oh, their dresses look beautiful. Where are those kids walking down the aisle? That's the flower girl and the rain bearer. I'm pretty sure that they're the groom's niece and nephew. Oh, they look so cute. I just hope the priest makes it quick. I'm starving. I hope the food's good at the reception. 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 is she going? So great. Does this mean the reception is canceled?
