I'm glad you kept the wedding simple, Iris. Flowers everywhere, and gorgeous table settings. With hundreds of people dancing in a huge glass ballroom. You know, simple.

Mary Worth 4144

Nan, do you realize you're talking outloud? Given that you don't know anybody here -- Are Zak's parents here? -- who are you talking to? Wait a minute... Is that? Could it be? Yes! It's the corpse of Apple Mary!

Way to hold on to your independance, Jeff. Mary managed to coordinate the entire congregation with her purple dress, but you somehow managed to mismatch even your own colors.

Mary Worth 4141

And just like that, they are no longer living in sin! It's about time we cleaned up this strip.

Mary Worth 4140

I seriously thought Iris was wearing a stole made from irises.

Zak, when Iris said she wanted a simple wedding ceremony, she didn't mean you shouldn't shave.

You, too, may be in a rush, but be sure to cast your vote for your favorite moments of 2022 in the Fifteenth Annual Worthy Awards!

Mary Worth 4137

If you look closely, it appears Mary wore her purple dress. What a shock. Jeff is nowhere to be seen because he doesn't like wearing purple.

Mary Worth 4135

Fade to black. Please, please, please fade to black.

Mary Worth 4134

Iris's hearing isn't the best. It sounded like he said, "Growing pot."

Mary Worth 4133

Of course, Zak is still young and still wants excitment, so plan to see him fall from high places a lot.

Mary Worth 4132

The secret to a good marriage is a simple wedding. Actually, I kind of agree with that. I've never understood going into debt to get married. Use that money on a down payment for your first house. Or in Zak and Iris's case, a second yacht.

Mary Worth 4131

This is why so many marriages fail today. Couples no longer fall off of lovers' leap to see if they're compatible.

Mary Worth 4130

That's kind of an ominous statement, Iris, considering that you're a widow.

If by a piece of Zak's heart, you mean his bank account, this story suddenly makes a lot more sense.

While you're waiting for the Worthy Award nominations to come out, I want to drop any pretense of snark for a few minutes and share something that put me into the Christmas mood, featuring Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abby) and the Tabernacle Choir. It's a little long, 16 minutes, but I hope this blog hasn't frozen your heart so cold that it can't thaw enough to enjoy this. Merry Christmas.

Mary Worth 4127

No need to be jealous. Nan's upper body strength is nowhere near yours. Plus, her thyroid has absolutely no wonk.

Mary Worth 4126

True. Don't let jealousy and doubt destroy your relationship. However, in this case, Zak's immaturity, lack of respect for Iris's feelings, foolish selfie cliff dancing, and plain ol' idiocy, might.

Mary Worth 4124

Wait! You haven't called off the wedding yet? Those aren't jitters! Those are the screams of every rational cell in your brain warning you to get out of this relationship before you find yourself dropping your husband off at daycare on your way to school every morning.

Mary Worth 4123

What are the odds, indeed. As I recall, it was pretty much 50:50. She was either going to be Iris's twin or MUCH more attractive. What we didn't count on was that Zak would regress to his three-year-old self.

Mary Worth 4122

Oh, good. I hope Mary helps. I hate to see these two kids fight. Er, this old lady fight with her kid. Er, fiance who is the same age as her kid.
