What! I missed the ceremony?? I step into the restroom for a few days, and when I get back, everyone is married??
I certainly hope there weren't any surprising developments or plot twists while I was away.
Please accept my wedding gift from Harriet Carter (Distinctive Gifts since 1958):

Uncharacteristically it was a blink-and-you-missed-it wedding, Wanders. Glad you returned in time for the speeches, and for the canonizaton of saintly Mary, who looks positively holy today. CLAP CLAP CLAP.
Love today's secret message, Wanders!
Cross-eyed Bobby appears to have had too much to drink already. Where are the radiant beams that should be emanating from Mary in panel 2?
Oh, Thorpnotized, Mary needs a lot more adulation for the radiant beams to start emanating. And it will be anything but a silent night when she gets back to Santa Royale and starts the three weeks of self-congratulation recaps for Jeff and Toby. Welcome back, Wanders, you were better off in the restroom than at the wedding.
I don't see any food or drinks, and there is nary a utensil or glass in sight. What kind of a reception is this, anyway? Where are the skateboarding waiters with trays of salmon squares? Where's the kelkie wedding cake?
Wanders, I love your secret message and your gifts for the happy couple. Too bad the model didn't put her hair into a ponytail.
Of course it was all about Mary.
Duh.
@fauxprof 8:24 - Mary previously has emanated radiant beams for much less than this...
Thanks to Mary Worth, who makes ALL things possible.
@Thorpnotized 9:11am. You're right about that. I just thought that since Mary and Bobby met only a few hours ago (Worthiversetime) he might be expected to pile it on a little more heavily before she started radiating. BTW, is that therapeutic radiation, or is it dangerous? Should her friends be wearing film badges to monitor exposure?
Bobby has a really derpy look on his face. He's no doubt confused because no-one bothered to tell him who Mary was until now.
Dartpaw86@10:53 AM, Bobby always looks derpy. He reminds me of the original Ken doll, and the blonde in the pink dress in the background looks like one of my old Barbies.
Yes, because if not for Mary Worth, who would have ever thought to look up an old boyfriend on Facebook? I mean, who does that?
Are Bobby and Gina (almost typed "angina" there, which seems somehow appropriate) doing a do-si-do or something? She's on his left in the first panel and on his right in the second.
Maybe she was blown around by the force of Mary's saintly emanations.
Bobby's probably cross-eyed from emanation radiation poisoning.

All hail Mary, patron saint of meddling. Seriously, what did she do except suggest looking the guy up on Facebook, which any idiot could have thought of?
Mary leaves Lloyd Neck to continue her Emanation Tour.
Cabbie picks her up. Recognizes her. Refuses to accept payment. "It's an honor to transport you, ma'am."
Mary checks into the W Hotel. Gets an extra-small room with an airshaft view. But the room is comped for Her Worthiness.
Mary goes to a game at Yankee Stadium, given a box seat behind home plate. Her face appears on the Jumbotron. The crowd does its traditional rhythmic clap and chant:
"Mary Woooorth, clap clap clap, clap clap clap" over and over.
Mary gets a free hot dog at Nathans.
Mary decides to visit her very dear friend who lost a son on 9/11. (Mary kindly called and left a smug message on the friend's answering machine on the 10th anniversary.)
Mary rings the buzzer.
"Who is it?"
"It's Mary Worth, dear."
(in a garbled accent): "Mary Worth no here."
"No, Agnes, it is I, Mary Worth."
silence. Buzzzz.
"Mary, go away, you thoughtless and conceited old biddy."
Mary walks sadly away, thinking "Poor Agnes, she's still too grief-stricken to listen to my advice."
That evening, Mary goes to see "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" on Broadway, and is crushed by the flying Green Goblin.
The End
I like the Barbie Doll lady that is between Gina's head the black-haired CLAP CLAP CLAP lady.
I'm trying to imagine what would make one add "CLAP, CLAP, CLAP" to the illustration of people obviously putting their hands together in celebration of huzzah-worthy Mary W. Maybe this indicates a new trend in the strip with audio "illustrations" to come. How about cricket noises when Mary gets back to Santa Royale or the sounds of gentle snoring as she regales friends with repeats of her exploits? What's next? Scratch and sniff??!!
Question: How can a really dense 21 year old girl and an 80-something old lady be considered old friends? Mary must have Metamucil older than Gina. And I doubt that Gina and Bobbys youthful friends want to get stuck at the same table as Mary "brings her own salmonn squares" Worth.
CLAP CLAP CLAP...
My WV: "nitypeas murot" The vegetables and wine the caterer is serving at the wedding dinner.
If only one hand CLAP, CLAP, CLAPS, would Mary Worth hear it?
Please God, please don't let anyone give Mary a microphone for her to give a speech. Please, please, no.
WOO-HOO MARY!!!!
Either Giella forgot to color in the background behind Gina or Gina had to get married, if you get my drift. Girl is looking wide there.
