The one where wedding photographers are a plague on humanity.
Synopsis: We get the bog-standard joke about being told to act naturally when the wedding photographer makes things really awkward.
Summary: This is the only normal looking part of the sequence so I'm thinking that Lynn is still sore about her wedding photos never turning out in a way ( Read more... )

Did I miss the strips with Deanna's sister in them? I don't remember her at all.

Andrea Sobinski was never mentioned by name in the comic strip. Her son Sean was a demon child, but he was mentioned by name. Andrea did speak 3 times and after the wedding, she was never mentioned again, except in Deanna's monthly letters.

And all dedicated to the stupid theme that Mira doesn't have the right to an opinion of her own because it irks a daddy-obsessed cretin.

1. Bawling, nervous children: this is why we didn't have any at our wedding. No flower girl, no children period. They were invited to the reception. Not the wedding. My sister got talked into letting her older brother's 5-year old daughter be a flower girl. She proceeded to fall down halfway through the ceremony and bawl through the rest of it, her clueless parents never once thinking of taking her outside, and the crying can be heard throughout the video. Pass.
2. Someone filled the car full of Styrofoam? That puts the throwing rice thing in perspective. This House is a Plague on the Planet. How much time did Weed dedicate to pull this stupid, thoughtless "prank?" Not to mention- unless you've got an hour and a professional-grade power vacuum, you aren't getting every bit of those chips out of that car. Which means Dee and Mike will be sitting on chips and those chips will be sticking to their clothes.

"Deanna's house"? Deanna lived with Michael at this point.

Your wedding horror story is similar to ours. They brought our 10-month-old niece to our wedding and she cried nonstop throughout. It's on the video and her mother did not take her outside until after a solid half-hour into it. My sister got married the same year I did and she banned children from her wedding and the reception.

Twice in the wedding video, you can hear the crying child's mother quietly saying "do you want to go outside? Should we go outside?" and the child screaming "NO, DON'T WANNA!" My brother and his wife being who they were, they went back to sitting silently while their daughter bawled away, lamely attempting to talk the 5-year old into stepping outside with them after a while. The kids turned out fine, despite being raised by people who totally bought into the Free Range Children attitude popular at the time.

I am often amazed at just how often kids are able to survive their parents' parenting and turn out fine.

This does border on cruelty. Traditionally they hang noisemakers off the back of the wedding car, but at least in that situation, you can still drive the car a little down the road and then remove the things.

In the monthly letters, her name was Kaityn.

Interesting. In the Way-back-machine for finding the old, detailed description of the wedding that used to be on the website, what was her name there?

The wedding announcement uses "Andrea," so Lynn had retconned it there, too. IIRC, there was a monthly letter from 2000/early 2001 where Dee referred to her sister as Kaitlyn.

She was a side character who only appeared at The Imperfect Wedding Of Mira Trying To BOSS EVERYONE AROUND LIKE HER OPINION MATTERS.
