Whoops. Unintended consequences are the worst!

bad move alex …

Huh! He called your bluff!

“Be careful what you ask for…You might get it!”

Reminds me of when Peter Bogdonovich was shacking up with Cybill Shepard. She reportedly claimed that “living together is sexier than marriage.”

Well, just living together was easier when they inevitably broke up!

The fault lies not in our stars, but in ourselves. YOU did this, Alex

I hope he means J.J.

Is Alex eating cereal for dinner, or is Uncle Stupidhead drinking beer at breakfast?

Does JJ know about this? Would she accept?

Alex isn’t cut out to be a bridesmaid

I don’t buy it. Why would Alex care about any couple’s being married or not? Does anybody?

But it will get Mike out of paying alimony (although I don’t really recall whether he does or not in the first place).

JJ is her mother. That’s why she cares.

Maybe they can find the same minister who married BD and Boopsie—-“How do you like your steak?”—“Still twitching, Padre !”

Man I love her sassy attitude.

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Careful what you wish for.

I wasn’t aware (at least until now) that Alex was a republican – she obviously did not THINK through the results of all her objection…

Make up your mind!

I wouldn’t worry, Zeke has the memory retention of a gnat.

Let it go, Zeke!

Anybody want to ask JJ her opinion on the matter?
