I made the mistake on getting into a rebound situation because I was hurting. I made myself believe I was in love with this man when I really could have care less. Needless to say my ex showed up the night before the wedding and I bounced. I have since apologized to my almost husband but I made the right choice. I found out later that not one of my friends or family thought that I would actually get married (think runaway fiance) and wasn't planning on showing up anyway. To ensure that I did not do it they told my ex (we are together now) where to find me ( in the bridal suite at the hotel getting my drink on). I would say to make sure that all doors are closed before you make the trip down the aisle. Anyway Whitley knew she loved Dwayne but she was willing to settle for financial stability instead of marrying for love. IT happens. By the way, congrats on your engagement.

Now on to the gist of the matter..... Cmon, young black men, do you really think you would even get the chance to beat some guy down who interrupts your wedding for some, "Baby, I always loved you, come with me" crap? Your lady will take care of business before you even realize what was happening. All I know if some fool followed me all the way out to California for my wedding (by the way, it's our 10th anniversary TODAY!), and attempted to interrupt the flow like that, I would have shut him down before he opened his mouth. If a) he was an old boyfriend, he has no standing because when it's over, it's OVER. If b) I did have feelings for him (i.e. not an ex) then I would be highly irritated that he was a day late and a dollar short. If he was so indecisive to wait until the last minute to make up his damn mind, then he will continue to be that way forever. No loss. If you are marrying a woman with some sense in her head, then she will do the math like I just did. If you feel you have reason to be worried, then you got bigger issues to address...... Everytime I see Joe Morton, I think of him in that movie.
Now on to the gist of the matter…..

I know if my fiance's ex shows up I will have to use actions from another movie that violates the G Code wedding rule: (though it was a forced marriage) The Princess Bride. Thanks to my numerous cousins we will beat the hell out of him and then save his life. I will have go to the "To the Pain" on his ass as demonstrated below: Westley: No. To the pain. Prince Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase. Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog faced buffoon. Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me. Westley: It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose. Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue I suppose, I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight. Westley: I wasn't finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right. Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand let's get on with it. Westley: WRONG. Your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever. That way that punk gets delt wit for violating the code, messing up my wedding, and disrespecting me in front of my family and my woman and will always remember it while serving as a warning to all who disrespect and violate the code. Bo,

I thought after Lisa Bonet left after the first season, it would flop... But they pulled it together. ...and Marisa Tomei as the roommate frreshman year--how funny that that show spawned an Oscar winner. Jeeez, I remember being so wrapped up in ADW too.

Even my feeling got a little hurt. That was one of my favorite episodes, although it was a little dramatic. But the most obvious violation I think came on the part of Byron's homies. Yeah they tried to hold Dwayne and all but all they really needed to do was give his ass one good punch and it would have been a wrap. See this is why you invite your hood cousins to the wedding just so you and your bridesmaids dont have to break a nail or get a track pulled out. Um, yeah Kirk that was harsh. Even my feeling got a little hurt.

That was harsh, even for you. That wasn't one of Dwayne's finest moments. You don't roll up in someone's wedding like that. You either handle that months before or you'd better wait for her to get a divorce. I didn't care for that episode. Also: 1.) Has there ever been a preachier comedy on TV? "A Different World" blows "All In The Family" and "Good Times" out of the water. 2.) My cousin told me that at the height of the show's popularity, the actress who played Kim showed up at a local mall and it damn near started a riot. Damn, Kirk. That was harsh, even for you.
