Elkton, Maryland isn’t far from Philly!

But, but, but then he might have to pay for the ceremony!

“Where there is a will, there is a way.”

Apparently, where there is a Nicole there is a way as well. ;-)

It’s your wedding, not theirs. Make it as big or as small as you want and tell anyone who complains to kick rocks.

Okay i’m a new reader here. Since he and nicole don’t have character entries on wikipedia, can someone explain these two for me? I hate to be that guy but I don’t know where or when their introduced so I simply can’t go back that far. I get Marcus is a pro footballer and Nicole a nurse but that’s about it.

Go, girl! It’s time to put your foot down!

When in doubt…go to Vegas

That would certainly save money and make her father happy.

On the other hand, a wedding ceremony is mainly a public notice of a commitment to each other. (Even if I have seen newlyweds break up on the way from the ceremony.)

Nicole must have found out that her father wants to pay for the wedding.

Do it! If Marcus wants to have a big reception or party, HE can pay for it.

That truck looks like about a ’58. Most likely a Chevy. Robb?

Just to see the look on Marcus’s face in that final panel!

I eloped when I married my first husband. It took a looooong time for my Mom to forgive me! But It’s fine, we are no longer married, so no waste of money!

That’s what my wife Dorothy did, on October 3, 2009. (BTW, we didn’t know that it was the same date of Barack H. Obama and Michelle Robinson, until sometime later. And the irony, they got married in 1992!!) We both had been married before. In my case in 1992, my first wife allowed my father’s wife (my mother died in 1981. Dad married a woman 7 years older than me and Dad was 30 years older than me) to have the wedding her way, even though I picked the wedding coordinator who was a family friend and who did my sister’s wedding, when my sister got married. My Dad’s wife told the photographer what pictures SHE WANTED, even though I had him to shoot the wedding. Needless to say, that marriage ended 14 years later. When Dorothy and I eloped, there was nobody there to take over the ceremony. And we are still married, without anyone, trying to stick their nose in our business.

Have a ceremony for each other, then do one for the fam. Everyone wins

Can’t they just live in sin for awhile before going the whole wedding route?

Nicole: “It’d be cheaper if we elope.” Marcus: [eggplant emoji]

I’ve always wanted to elope. The last thing I want is to display public affection in front of my relatives. Not to mention the obnoxious in laws.

Marcus is very cheap.

Tell him is will be CHEAPER and it will be a done deal!

That’s good idea!

Dear sweet pea, if you carrot for me alone, lettuce cantaloupe.

the plot thickens

His family is enormous is both size and number of people.

But can she repair at ’57 pickup?

All her dad would have to pay for is gas and dinner afterwards! It’s genius!

They can elope to glamorous Asbury Park,New Jersey

The Grover family seems too tight knit for that to be an option for Marcus. Isn’t his brother a minister. Why not a medium wedding with just close family in the backyard. That would be like maybe 30 ppl.

Elope and accept getting kicked to the curb by the rest of the family(ies). Bet being ostracized doesn’t last long.

Best idea all day. (BTW, just tell him it is inexpensive.)

Need to have Fry and Bender going “OOOOoooooooooh!”
