Default I had the night off

Had a wedding scheduled for yesterday. 8 AM the day of the bride e-mails and says it's cancelled. Confirmed with the venue.

I haven't had a cancellation that late in the game since about 1988, when my NYE wedding got cancelled. Back then, no e-mail, no cell phones, etc. so I actually showed up at the venue.

Oh, well. They paid in advance and the check cleared weeks ago.

Perhaps the bride decided her time could be better spent watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics?

Glad you got the check in advance.

At least they had the kindness to let you know.

Just think how the groom must have felt - or do you think the bride actually called him?

That just sounds like the premise for a bad episode of a comedy (probably on fox) right there.
