It’s time again for our favorite game … CAPTION THAT PICTURE!
Feb 1st 2010
Karen HawkinsGoddess Grins
Rules of the game:
1) Enter as many times as you like, but only one idea per post.
2) The grand prize will be a galley of my next book, LOIS LANE TELLS ALL, a fast-paced romantic comedy filled with (a tiny amount of) danger and (tons of) excitement, set in the small town of Glory, NC, to be released March 30th.
3) Prize will be selected by my beloved mum who will read all of the entries and name her favorite. Trust me on this: she has a wonderful sense of humor.
4) My mum is going to read this, folks, so keep it clean! (Well, pretty clean, anyway. Heh!)
That’s it! And now, for your delectation . . . the photo:
Good luck, goddesses! Now, CAPTION THAT PICTURE!

Why are YOU protesting the marriage?
Sabrina Jeffries on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:48 am #
“No, that is NOT a baby in her hands. Sheesh!”
Karen on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:56 am #
“You do have a twin brother!”

The minister who had a few drinks: Well, since nobody objects I pronounce you three, Husbands & Wife.
Karen Hawkins on 01 Feb 2010 at 6:52 am #
Mike, the intrusive wedding photographer: Over here! On top of the organ! Everyone look this way … aaaaaand (FLASH!) Got it!

Meanwhile…Back at the Wedding, Dick and Jane realize that Spot had a little to much fun at the bachelor party the night before.
Freedom Writer on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:37 am #
How did that streaker get into the wedding without an invitation. No wait, that’s Uncle Willie.
Kathy on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:41 am #
Harvey! how’d you get in here??
LoriHandeland on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:48 am #
The pastor should never have asked if anyone had an objection.
Kirsten on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:59 am #
A bridesmaid starts singing (loud) her own take on Marvin Gaye’s song:
Ooh, I bet you’re wondering but I knew. About you’re plans to make her blue. With me the other girl you knew before. You whispered to me through the grapevine. “Oh yes you DID!”.
Pesky on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:10 am #
While they were all happy Uncle Edmund had made it to the wedding, they did wish his pants had made it as well…
elsiehogarth on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:14 am #
“Gees, how many men are you engaged to?”
elsiehogarth on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:15 am #
“Oh, how embarassing someone else wearing the same outfits.”
Pesky on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:20 am #
What do you mean she has to say “obey”? (;) Sorry Lori couldn’t resist)
Karen on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:30 am #
I told you a wedding was no place for a horse. Now he’s drinkin’ the holy water and eatin’ the flowers!
Amy on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:33 am #
“Oh my! Aliens really do exist!”
TrishD on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:40 am #
(Pesky, we’re thinking alike this morning.)
You want HIM to say obey?
Amy on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:42 am #
“I haven’t touched him, I swear! He’s as virtuous as the day we met!”

“Aunt Ethel, Get out of that Sacramental wine, NOW!! And for Gawds sake, put your clothes back on!!!”

Bob’s wife had returned from the dead…and she had her mustache waxed.
jcp on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:22 am #
What did we get ourselves into?
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:23 am #
Marge and Stan watched in stunned silence as the groomsmen turned in unison, bent over and dropped trou, “Congratulations” emblazoned in living color on their hairy butt cheeks!!
Kirsten on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:29 am #
They all were amazed when they looked towards the window and saw a cat, no a monkey or what was that: a 14 month old Baby?? climbing the red velvet curtains.
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:41 am #
The wedding party should have skipped the pre-nuptial Botox treatments…
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:43 am #
The wedding photographer admitted he only packed black & white film…
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:46 am #
The director informs the actors they have to ad-lib the climactic wedding scene…
Heather on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:58 am #
“Okay, come on, that’s not necessary. We’ve already established you’re the male twin.”
“We really don’t need to see that birthmark to prove it.”
Heather on 01 Feb 2010 at 10:00 am #
*This one I have to borrow from the Fifth Element.*
Best-Man: “Geez, they really do make them . . .”
Groom: “Yea, perfect.”
Bride: “For goodness sakes, mother. Put your dress back on.” *grumbles about show offs.*
Nicole Jordan on 01 Feb 2010 at 10:46 am #
These are great, y’all! I’m laughing all over my keyboard.
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 11:05 am #
“Okay, which of you funnymen switched the Wedding March with Herty Gerty music??!!”
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 11:07 am #
“Okay, which of you funnymen switched the Wedding March with the FUNERAL March??!!!”
Julia London on 01 Feb 2010 at 11:07 am #
Karen, what is this movie? I have to see it. That shot is too good.
Karen on 01 Feb 2010 at 11:35 am #
The revelation that Elizabeth was a stripper came out at the worst possible moment.
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 12:13 pm #
“Okay, who switched the Sacramental wine with Mad Dog 20/20??!!”
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 12:28 pm #
Marjorie’s selection of members of the Rockettes to her bridal party came back to bite her in the butt when the groomsmen triple-dog dared them that they couldn’t perform a unison fan-kick in fluffy floor-length organza gowns!!
LoriHandeland on 01 Feb 2010 at 1:09 pm #
I think it’s The Philadelphia Story, Julia.
Nicole’s right. You’ve all got some great ones. Keep them coming!
1slkchk on 01 Feb 2010 at 2:21 pm #
Minister – “Please look this way.” “Why are we not looking to the front?” “This is why we have rehearsal so nothing goes wrong.” (The bride looks shocked, the groom looks angry and the best man looks amazed. ) “What are you all looking at?” “By your faces I should not look cause I am a man of God!” (and can tell it isn’t good). “Ah the hell with it I gotta look!”
Sabrina Jeffries on 01 Feb 2010 at 2:25 pm #
Pesky, you made me laugh out loud!
elsiehogarth on 01 Feb 2010 at 2:50 pm #
“Oh my goodness, is that the family I’m marrying into? God help me!”
Janae on 01 Feb 2010 at 2:55 pm #
What’s the leopard doing on the set? This isn’t Bringing up Baby.
Pesky on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:13 pm #
Cheryl on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:22 pm #
Okay everyone, for this shot I want you all to look absolutely staggered! Uh, well, that works too…
Suzanne Enoch on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:29 pm #
“Oh, damn, it’s TMZ. We’ve had it now, gang.”
GSM on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:29 pm #
“Good Lord! You’re wearing THAT to our wedding?”
The Philadelphia Story–What a great movie! Thanks for a fun contest.
Cheryl on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:31 pm #
“Baby, I can explain….”
Start that marriage out right! Always assume that it’s the man’s fault.
Amy on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:45 pm #
“I now pronounce you, dumbfounded, somewhat shocked, and super surprised. Now, which one of you gentlemen will be kissing the bride?”
TrishD on 01 Feb 2010 at 3:56 pm #
Bride – “We’re not going to live on a dairy farm?”
Groom – “No.. where did you get that idea?”
Bride – “Well, I heard you talking about the price of milk these days.”
Judy F on 01 Feb 2010 at 4:05 pm #
you let that hussy in here???
Sabrina Jeffries on 01 Feb 2010 at 4:09 pm #
Y’all are really cracking me up here!
Paula on 01 Feb 2010 at 4:18 pm #
OMG didn’t you tell him that the stripper should have been at the bachelor party NOT the wedding!!
Susan in AZ on 01 Feb 2010 at 4:31 pm #
A wedding in Philadelphia is more than enough to make one gasp like a fish.
Judy F on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:02 pm #
OH dear, figures Brad and Angelina would pick today to finally get married.
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:36 pm #
“On the count of three you will awaken completely relaxed…”

The tailor was a little too liberal with his inseam measurements….
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:39 pm #
The shotgun wedding is NEXT door!
Karen Hawkins on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:41 pm #
Hi, all! Sorry I was out of touch today — was only going to be traveling for three hours and it turned into seven. ARGH!
BUT I got to come home and read these and they are WONDERFUL! You guys are hysterical! My poor mom is going to have the hardest time picking a winner!
Julia, yep, this is from The Philadelphia Story, Hepburns’ big comeback after she hit a slump.
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:44 pm #
This wedding is sponsored by Talon Stun Guns – it’ll leave even the most reluctant groom stupefied yet compliant.
nancyg on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:45 pm #
I always dig the caption contests – it’s awesome to see how everyone’s mind works, lol…
Lois M. on 01 Feb 2010 at 5:45 pm #

“Look at all these ladies trying to caption this picture! Come on gentlemen, let’s give them something to talk about!”
TrishD on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:00 pm #
Can we get this on the road? I have a bris at 3.
Louisa Cornell on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:00 pm #
What do you mean the rabbit died?
(for those of you too young to know. Human pregnancy tests used to be done on rabbits. If it died the test was positive.)
B on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:01 pm #
“What??? What do you mean the black smoke monster ISN’T going to be in the last season of LOST?”
(I suck at these things. Which is lame because THIS is one galley I’d kill for!
)
B on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:02 pm #
Louisa Cornell, seriously?? How did THAT work?? Why did it kill the rabbit???
*runs to Google*
Karen Hawkins on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:03 pm #
You guys are good at this! I need to do more.
Btw, seeing this picture made me remember how much I love the movie. I might need to re-watch it this coming week.
Louisa Cornell on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:03 pm #
This wedding is going to cost HOW MUCH?
Kelly Ann on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:24 pm #
The wedding party notices for the 1st time the movie camera aimed at them. Who would have thought this was only a movie?!
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:43 pm #
The impromptu musical dance number performed by Stan’s groomsmen might have been entertaining if not so inappropriately timed . . . and if they had also remembered that they were wearing dress kilts!!
RachieG on 01 Feb 2010 at 7:45 pm #
The photographer was surprised to find out his “quiet squeeker” rocked the church walls.
Louisa Cornell on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:00 pm #
ROFLMAO Rachie G !!
Louisa Cornell on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:03 pm #
Yep B. Seriously. Man, I am either really old or have WAY too much useless information running around in my head!
Louisa Cornell on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:06 pm #
(sounds of heavy breathing a la Darth Vader)
Dexter, I am your father.
ladydawgfan on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:07 pm #
Bridal Etiquette Rule #17: When the ceremony is running extra long, it is NOT appropriate to start “The Wave” in church, led by the bridal party!!
Karen on 01 Feb 2010 at 8:12 pm #
Elizabeth was shocked to see that all four of her ex-husbands had made it to the wedding.
Karen Hawkins on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:44 pm #
My poor mom! I don’t know how she’s going to choose one. I sure as heck couldn’t.
Louisa Cornell on 01 Feb 2010 at 9:47 pm #
Now THAT’S a wardrobe malfunction !!
Pesky on 01 Feb 2010 at 10:20 pm #
Grandmother’s quaint custom of goosing the bride and groom and toddling away never failed to make for the most interesting photo of the day…
Laurie G on 02 Feb 2010 at 5:46 am #
OMG! He’s NEKKID!
Angela on 02 Feb 2010 at 6:18 am #
LMAO! These are too funny!
One more try for me:
The soprano soloist completely forgot that her dress had a very deep v and when she took a deep breath her tatas popped out.
KellyJ on 02 Feb 2010 at 4:44 pm #
The loud, sweet voice of the flower girl carried above the organ music as the bride reached the altar, “Mommy, I thought you said there was no way in hell that she’d wear white!”
chelleyreads on 02 Feb 2010 at 6:51 pm #
Everyone look HEERRRE!! PICTURE TIME!!!

You’re dressed for Casual Friday?……..but it’s Saturday!!!!
Stacy Stewart on 04 Feb 2010 at 8:52 am #
Well, I can not believe your mother just came out of the rectory with my father and with her shirt on backwards.
Mommy Dearest on 04 Feb 2010 at 10:30 am #
Hi honey! I brought all of our children to watch you get married again.
Don’t forget, supper is at seven. See you then.

Karen Hawkins on 07 Feb 2010 at 10:18 pm #
And the winner is! >>>> LOUISA CORNELL for her comment, “This wedding is going to cost HOW MUCH?”
Sorry this took a few extra days but my mother had the flu. She’s much better now and she loved Louisa’s comment.
Louisa, send me an email at thegoddessblogs@gmail.com and I’ll get you hooked up with the galley!
suzycue44 on 08 Feb 2010 at 7:03 pm #
I would caption the photo Jilted wedding surprise, because from the facial expressions of the intended groom and bride, it looks like someone that neither of them expected to show up or have any objection to is doing just that!
Debbie Balotin on 08 Feb 2010 at 7:08 pm #
I know neither of them is my Fiance you know the one back there. I’m taking this one next to me instead. You see he never stopped loving me after the first time.
Janie Bowen on 08 Feb 2010 at 7:19 pm #
What do you mean I’m married to him? I was supposed to marry her!
Regina on 08 Feb 2010 at 9:12 pm #
I told Uncle Louie not to wear that gold chiffon off-the-shoulder number.
Esther Powell on 08 Feb 2010 at 9:26 pm #
Oh my gawd I’m in the wrong church, with the wrong groom. How did this happen. What do I do now. I knew I shouldn’t have had that last drink.
Mickey M on 08 Feb 2010 at 9:47 pm #
What do you mean, repeat them again, only backwards?
Lorraine Larose on 08 Feb 2010 at 11:08 pm #
Who are you calling Daddy?

Late but I want to participate.
Anyway, here is my contribution:
