Wedding goes off without a hitch

Comments heard at the wedding of Dan Deming and Nicole Toohey:

-Did you bring your umbrella? There's an 80 percent chance of rain.

-Yes. My hair frizzes something awful when it gets wet.

-We'll be under that covered stone pavilion over there. Unless there's a tornado we shouldn't get wet.

-Where Donna lives in Oklahoma they have tornados. Or is it hurricanes, Donna?

-Tornados.

-And brush fires, right?

-Yes. We had fires the first week in April a mile away from the Ranch. We lost a corral in the fire but some people lost their homes.

-That's the bride's mom sitting over there. She and her daughter could be sisters. The dad is standing in the back. He said he's a nervous wreck.

-I don't know why. Did you see how he was sweating in the back of his hair?

-He's a retired Philly narcotics cop and he has to have seen everything. He'd get into foot chases and get shot at. But he's nervous walking his daughter down the aisle.

-There's the limo. The bridesmaids are all in there.

-Derek, is it okay if I go take a peak at them?

-Actually, ma'am, you're not supposed to.

-They wrote their own wedding vows. A friend is the lay reverend. He looks just like a Toohey.

- I kinda wondered if he was her father at the very beginning.

-She's taking her husband's name except she'll use Miss Toohey for her students.

-Why'd the limo disappear?

-It went around the corner to make a U-turn. Here it comes now.

-Oooh! Wow!

-Sara has a beautiful smile.
-Isn't my wife beautiful?

-Alice is the sister/law. She and her husband moved to CA cuz they're both actors and wanna find work. Sean Toohey's been in off-B'way plays.

-She's smart she's fixing her long dress so she doesn't trip. Look at those magenta-colored heels. She comes from a tall family.

-That's my daughter! She's so funny and so smart and so talented. And beautiful! Her father should smile more.

-Dyou realize it's not raining and the sun is shining?

-That's miraculous.

-There's more miracles going on than you realize about this wedding.

-I do, Nicole.

-I do, Daniel.

-Sara, will you hand Nicole Dan's ring?

-Sean, will you hand Dan Nicole's ring?

M U S I C F A D E.

-Look above the pavilion? See the rainbow?

-Wow! Look! There's a rainbow. And it's still drizzling a little.
