It’s going to be a busy day today — that rascally ragamuffin to the right is getting married this afternoon. And I somehow tore the one suit jacket I brought with me. Perfection is ruined! I may just have to break down into tears of anxiety. Or call it all off! Or hide in a closet!
Congratulations! And best wishes!
And just use some matte black duck tape. No one will notice.
Don’t worry, PZ. It’s a wedding; nobody’s going to be looking at you.
If something didn’t go wrong at the last minute, it wouldn’t be a wedding.
Congratulations and felicitations to the happy couple.
As a dyke, I have to say trust me. It’s really not good in the closet. Don’t go in there.
Now you know how I felt when I noticed I had put the sleeve in the wrong way round the night before my own wedding.
My best wishes to the happy couple!
PZ
petemoulton is correct.
You are just a bit-player, don’t worry.
Congatulations to Skatje and her Beau.
Congrats and best wishes to Skatje and partner!
Congrats
That smile calls for a new Leonardo!
Long time lurker here. My best wishes to Skatje and her partner, wish them long years of health and happiness together.
I love it when dads say things like ‘rascally ragamuffin’ in order to express their great love for their daughter. It is so sweet.
After a bit of not bothering to do any research, I have decided the traditional method of ripped jacket repair is to soak it in the blood of whatever beastie has been sacrificed for the wedding. This will cause many comments and much admiration on how your stylish red jacket is dripping and staining the rest of the clothing (not just your own), and — almost the most important thing — no-one will notice the rip.
The most important thing, of course, are the newlyweds. Congratulations!
(And ignore that embarrassing old man in the squid costume with the torn, damp, red jacket (which seems to be attracting the flies)… he’s just a poopyhead!)
That might work. Her wedding colors are black and red.
Congratulations and best wishes to Skatje and (in the best tradition of her dad) her soon to be trophy partner.
As for the torn jacket – I am with Carlie. If Mythbusters taught me nothing else, it taught me that correctly coloured duct tape fixes everything.
I’d love to see the cake.

Congratulations and warm wishes!

Are you sure?
Conga Rats for Ms and Mr Skatje Myers!
Wedding colors are black and red? Black and effing Red? WTH?
I’d love to see some pics of that, provided the couple gives permission. I just hope like hell that this has nothing to do with a certain movie that came out years ago.
And “seconds” for pictures of the cake. (and what’s inside it!)
And yeah…congrats.
I won’t ask about the name……
re @1:
I spot a Top Gear reference. Jezza will bop you; causing Hamster to chide him. May will just nerdify endlessly, boring everyone to tears. ;-)
Cheers, Skatje. Congrats!!! PZ, just cope, poopyhead.
jeez, people
google red black wedding
There’s always a fight at a wedding. I see you’re already prepared.
We’re in a lodge at 10,000 feet, and it’s snowing.
What do you mean, how do you do a black & red wedding? What did you expect from my kid, pastels?
Let me add my congratulations, and a request for seeing the lovely Skatje in her wedding dress.
Have a wonderful time, PZ. We may be freethinking feminists, but we know that seeing one of your babies get married tends to bring a tear to the eye. Four of our five have done so and the fifth is engaged to be married.
Best wishes to all!
Best wishes for a wonderful day and future wedded bliss Skatje and partner. A torn suit coat is easy enough to repair with a stapler and some tape, and nobody remembers what the father of the bride wore. Congratulations, Myers family!
Congratulations to Skatje, and have a great time, PZ!
Congratulations and all good wishes to Skatje and partner! Happy day all round (and gaffer tape is always good).
Sounds like fun, enjoy the glow of the aftermath like a proud parent should.

Also, I apologize for saying, in @11, “And ignore that embarrassing old man […]”. I clearly meant to say: “And ignore the embarrassing old man in the squid costume with the torn, damp, red jacket (which seems to be attracting the flies)… he’s just a poopyhead!”
I want to hear how this was resolved!
Okay, I just can’t figure out what movie this could possibly be referring to. (We did not base our wedding on a movie.)
Skatje
I’m guessing Beetlejuice.
I love the mustelid (ferret?). Looks a lot like the smart neighbor of Satchel and Bucky*
*Get Fuzzy reference.
The Hunger had lots of black and red*, but it was not wedding-themed. And not cute at all.
*hemoglobin-stuff. And the undead were revolting, in a double sense.
The movie in question is “The Phantom Menace”…referring to the coloring of Darth Maul.
Glad to see that that movie had NO influence here.
Still want to see pics of the cake, though.

Wha…?
There are tons of movies where the aesthetic is black and red. And you think about a movie in which one characters happens to have those colours? That doesn’t even make sense?
Anyway: congrats to the happy newly-weds!
I’d like to see a picture of the cake, too.
Congratulations to the happy couple! Way to go, Skatje!
