When I got home.. late.. Jolinda pounced on me with wedding brochures.

“Parker, look at this dress, I have got to have it,” she said, shrilly.

I looked at the price. Hmmph, Daddy would pay for it. What do I care, I thought.

Feeling bored I surfed through boring channel after channel on TV.
All the while Jolinda yammered on about ‘the wedding’.

I wondered what Jason was doing now. Was his life this suffocating. I bet he was playing Call of Duty. I know I wish I was instead of listening to Jolinda. If she says wedding one more time I swear I will scream.

”.... and my wedding dress will be the envy of all my sorority sisters,” Jolinda said.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH”, I screamed, and my fiancee looked at me like I had gone off the deep end. Perhaps I had.

She batted an eyelash and kept talking.
I stopped listening. How I wish I was back at that bar laughing with Jason and Barkley, the beefy barkeep.
Good times . Would I have any more of those.
My bachelor days were nearing and end.
