If those movies you referenced are the ones I think they are they both showed up on MST3K and I'm pretty sure I remember Tom Servo going "he should quit his job instead, strippers make a lot more money than cops!" (the woman was the 40's movie version of a stripper which meant it was only vaguely hinted at)
Seriously. There was a boy in my class in pre-K through second grade, that I remember thinking was SO CUTE, but I have not ever thought of him being "my first love."
I'm a woman and I don't think that when I go to a wedding. The closest I get to that is when I think "god, I hope nobody tries to make me participate in that stupid sexist shoving match over the damn bouquet."
We did the bouquet and throwing the garter for the men. The men got very competitive over the garter, but ultimately the guy with the highest vertical leap won.
I caught the garter once. At our wedding we did the bouquet and garter thing, but like most grooms I was really just an accessory and didn't make any of the decisions.
We tried to discourage people from banging their forks against glasses to get us to kiss- I hate that stupid tradition, but it's been at every reception I've attended- and of course we did NOT smash cake into each other's faces, despite a few hicks in attendance urging us to do so. That's the ultimate Immensely Stupid Wedding Tradition, in my opinion.
It was in Texas and in that state, there were a lot of groom traditions I have not seen in other states. There was a separate groom's cake (made of chocolate) and the garter throwing.
I can't imagine either the bride or the groom wanting to interrupt/cut short the celebration by wondering out loud "Ok, who is the next big ceremony and party going to be for?" Gordon might as well be saying "we're done here. Everyone please leave. See you next time."
2. Tracey doesn't need to say "I do." Gordon says it for them. This was one instance in which it would have been nice if Lynn let Tracey do the talking for both of them if only one of them was going to be shown saying the words. Gordon gets the punchline, after all.
I have been making jokes that ever since Tracey and Gordon got together, Tracey was not allowed to speak in public and this comic strip just hammers that in. Not even in the wedding ceremony strip is she allowed to speak in front of other people. As the wedding progresses the only time Tracey speaks in public is to Elly and Elizabeth.
Another opportunity to compare the colouring of 2024:

this show was made in the 70's though!

I've never been to a wedding where they did throwing the garter for the men, and I've been to a lot of weddings.

Oh, I agree. Obnoxious and total waste of cake. Are you marrying one of the three stooges?

We also did not smash cake onto each other's faces!

I've been to several weddings where they had a groom's cake. I'm always in favor of any tradition involving more than one flavor of cake. :)

In Texas, given that the groom's cake was almost always chocolate, it was many people's favorite cake at the wedding.
