The Deferred Bride!!

It's always something...

Oh, dear, poor Bob and Janice have a "series of unfortunate mishaps" constantly postponing their wedding! What's causing these "nerve racking delays?"

Things started well enough, with their whirlwind romance culminating in a proposal on scenic Highview Hill!

And they set a date!

But...

"Nothing serious" yet "the doctor refuses to let her out of bed for several days at least"? Sounds like some doctor is afraid to break someone the bad news!

But...

You could have just live-streamed the ceremony to her phone...oh, wait, 1954. Damn your primitive technology!

Still, the wedding is back on soon enough.

Ah, but...

Geez, Bob, when's the flood? Plus, white socks with a suit? No wonder you were fired!

Capitalism!!

So far "unfortunate mishap"= mom has a serious illness and 1/2 the town is unemployed. So maybe we're being a teensy bit selfish in worrying how this effects one little wedding?

A little fresh air gives Janice a Bob some perspective...

And you know what? He does!!

All's better now, right?

That's not a good thing, Janice.

So...

This one isn't so much "an unfortunate mishap" as "being a dumbass."

Still...

You know, the story doesn't give us precise dates, but by my counting the wedding was first delayed one week and then ten days. Maybe take a chill pill?

Anyway, nothing else could possibly go wrong!

All right, this is one you can legitimately call "an unfortunate mishap," guys.

At this point someone should just say, "Frak it, we're going to Vegas." Not Bob, though!

What's Bob's plan?

Awww!

And then Thanos snapped his fingers...
