Everything was perfect; from the linens to the music to the punctuality of the meal.
The bride hardly noticed the groom’s paranoia. She wrote it off to wedding day jitters until he passed out during the toast.
When he woke up in the hospital, he was babbling about a body tied to the crystal chandelier.
This twisted little number comes in at 55 against the 100-word upper limit for the month of June. Today’s featured word isΒ crystal.
We are wrapping up this quarter. Just four short weeks to the deadline. How many flashes are you going to have inΒ Flashes from the Bistro? Have you been checking out the new entries? Click the picture to find out who is flashing now.
Happy Flashing!
What would you do if you saw a body tied to a chandelier? Was it a wedding present or a warning? Do you wish warnings of bad marriages were so obvious?

/ June 3, 2013I see that you are flashing everything at the moment with this wicked one, but don’t worry I like it a lot, shame that the groom missed out on the cutting of the cake, though I imagine he will soon be getting some, or is that the other way around? π lmao
