The I Do-Over

Or the I Do Re-Do. Thank you to Darrin Marshall for that.

First, if you missed “Finally Weds”, you’re going to have a plethora of weddings that didn’t happen last year, happening this Summer. It would be a chance for the couples to finally share their happy moments, great hair and killer dresses.

TV has done all of our research for us. David Letterman’s first season taught us that throwing stuff off buildings is great. Springer taught us that staged adultery conflicts are enjoyable to watch and listen to. And the first couple of seasons of America’s Funniest Home Videos demonstrated that other people’s wedding disasters are funny.

With June wedding season, one way to acknowledge it would be to help a couple whose first wedding did not go as planned, have a Do Over. Tie in a food and beverage client and then a resort or hotel within driving distance who will do a weekend package.

I did it for a “second honeymoon at a cabin in the Smokeys” and got a hundred entries. The winner was a woman who on the morning after their wedding, got in the car with her hubby and headed for the airport. They got pulled over for a broken taillight. The police officer was immediately sympathetic to their situation, declined to write the ticket and offered to look at the light. Maybe it was just disconnected. Just pop the trunk and maybe we can fix it here.

The husband didn’t want to open the trunk.

The policeman insisted.

In the spare tire were a couple of weapons and a ducttaped brick of white powder. She spent the first night of her honeymoon in jail, trying to explain that she had NO idea that her husbands car stereo business was a front for people who were moving some serious weight north from Florida. And she was happily remarried.

COVID Memorials

There are going to be, eventually in most cities some kind of permanent memorials to people who died from COVID. The River in Nashville is doing a mural for healthcare heroes.

Keep your ears open for these kinds of opportunities to jump in and promote and help and recruit if they need volunteers.
