This is their life now. Standing around. Admiring one another's beauty.
I hope everyone had a peaceful holiday. I'm full of gratitude for your shared admiration of the Worthiverse. I'm always happy when new people post a message. You're always welcome here. As long as the Condo Board approves of you.

Zak's stubbly face is too much like Wilbur's stubbly legs - yuck. Someone should have given Zak a razor for Christmas.
Is it too much to hope for that the Camerons will also be guests at this wedding?
KitKat, it seems our invitation must have somehow gotten lost in the mail. But I have high hopes that Wilbur’s “plans” will involve re-enacting the final scene from The Graduate.
Today's Boldface Haiku is titled
"Maybe Iris Can Wow Them With Her Grasp Of History During Cocktail Hour If They Get Ageist".
Great!
You, beautiful! Wedding?
Almost. Nervous!
"Almost. I'm a bit nervous."
Here we go. Iris just can't leave things be and enjoy the moment. She's got to crank up the drama.
Now she's going to fret about what people will think, and she'll get all moody and depressed, and eventually she'll drop Zak again and slouch back to the mushy arms of Mr. Low Expectations.
Ugh, I was really hoping this was going to go somewhere interesting.

Iris will quiz everyone at their table on Casablanca. No one will know what she’s talking about. And as to Zak, either grow a beard or get a clean shave! (Pet peeve.)
My prediction: creepy stalker Wilbur will confront them in the parking. Humiliation will result
I'm thinking the cousin's wedding inspires Zak to pop the question to Iris. And a Wilbur thought bubble appears and Iris says no and this whole story ends with a whimper. Wilbur probably already has a ring being overnighted from Bogota.
If Iris does indeed wind up back in the "mushy arms" of Wilbur, I think there will be a bloody revolution in the Worthiverse and Moy will be demoted to the Six Chix strip.
What will Tommy call Zak? Daddy? Papa...maybe The Old Man?
As someone who does taxes, I'd advise that it's not really a good idea to get married before the end of the year. They're going to have to file jointly for this year. Plus, with the holidays, your anniversary sort of gets lost.
Or at least that episode of The Simpsons that parodied The Graduate.
Haha! It’s my Anniversary today Carlye. Best choice I ever made with my heart (worst for my taxes!)
My hypothesis for this wedding: Iris fears the same reaction Zak’s old friends had. Maybe she gets some slack, but they see a young couple and Zak blurts that he always wanted a family. And as a 37yo who just had a baby I can tell you right now that is not going to go down with Iris AT ALL. Breakup ensues and score 1 for Wilbur on the rebound.
Fin.
CJG: love your comment, but Zak will have a family: A son his own age named Tommy. And happy anniversary!
Iris baby, chill. Ask Zack if he’s cool with getting mellow — those face-pubes tell me he is, most definitely — and believe me, since you’re going to be the oldest person at this wedding, you’ll wanna be baked. Oh, and say hi to Zack’s parents for me when you meet them, I’m sure that won’t be awkward at all.
With all the comments about what will Tommy call Zak if Zak and Iris get married, I keep thinking of the Rodney Dangerfield movie Easy Money, In it Taylor Negron's character, a stereotypical Latino marries Rodney Dangerfield's daughter played by Jennifer Jason Leigh. After the wedding he comes over to Rodney's character and says in a thick Latino accent "Can I call you dad?" This is how I picture it'll play out.
The visual is much better. Here it is on YouTube for your viewing pleasure:
