(I Wanna) Kiss The Bride
by Miles H. Rost
“Who’s idea was it to make this pathway of barbecue nets?”
Mandy’s red, wrinkled finger pointed at the mosquito nets that lined the aisle.
“It’s to prevent all the mosquitos–”
“I don’t care. Take them down.”
“But, Miss–”
“I didn’t pay 34 thousand dollars for mosquito nets. This wedding will go net free!”
The workers started taking down the nets, with one muttering how it would be nice if the wedding went “nut free”.
Mandy looked around, and shook her head.
“My daughter is getting the wedding I didn’t. It has to go perfectly.”
She looked at a net, and cried.

Oh… a net on a wedding sounds like a bad sign.
Merely protection from bloodsuckers. Though how mom got in there…
Trying to live your life again through your children seldom works well. Fluent story, Miles!
Though, in my dad’s case, he’s enjoying it immensely. ^_^v
Hmmm… depending on the location, one would think the nets would be obligatory!
I had it in the equatorial regions, so it would be obligatory to those there…
Indeed.
I hope she was as focused on the perfect match for her daughter as she was on the perfect wedding.
Probably not. XD
Using nets to trap a husband more like! Nice one.

Well, knowing this mom…she probably needs a new one.
The bride should ALWAYS have the wedding of her dreams.
Tell that to her mom. >_>
I say that, and it took 20 yrs to have the wedding that we wanted to begin with. We fell to the “Grandma” factor.
Oh boy. On my weeding, the mosquitoes feasted on the blood of the groom and bride as well as of all of our guests. I sure wish we had nets then… ;o)
Nice story, though.
To quote Cookie Monster: “Om nom nom nom”
What Jelli said – – –
Jelli was right; but alas, the beast that is mom or mom-in-law always lurks its heads.
Why does someone always have to do/say something to upset the wedding? Why??
One of the wedding curses, I am guessing.
‘Nut free’ was hilarious 😀
Yay! You caught it! ^_^! This brings me joy!
I see an itching wedding night in the bride’s future.
Good writing!
She’s gonna hate her mom for that.
Probably wouldn’t be the first time.
