The Tethermaster Weighs in on the Runaway Bride

People, let's calm down and realize one very important thing: women should not 'have' to get married! I repeat: women do not 'have' to get married, even if it is scheduled and guests are invited and presents have been bought! People are trying to force women to get married all the time, and making them feel guilty because of all the preparations and whatever. Wake up! Second point: Must we always think lawsuit whenever there's a minor problem? Sure, from time to time people don't show up for their own weddings. One, I'm sure she feels bad. Two, she's going to take a lot of ribbing at work over this one. Three, it's really embarrassing to run away and then come back with TV cameras on you. Four, she's ok (that's the good part!)! Let's not get all wound up about something that has a happy ending. Let's not spoil a good thing by getting all worked up over whether or not she should be sued or brought up on charges. What if, and this is just conjecture, but what if when she left she said, "Honey, I'm going to Albuquerque, " but he thought she said, "Honey, I'm going to see Al my booky to place a bet on the ponies." Entirely possible. See we don't even know if she said something like that or not, do we? Come on, people, give love a chance!
