    Oh my goodness I think that perhaps, there will Not be a future wedding day…just a hunch!

  2. pensitivity101's avatar pensitivity101 February 22, 2023 / 14:53

    Bloody nerve! I’d go ahead with the wedding, keep the presents, and marry the best man!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 22, 2023 / 17:17

      Great idea, I’ll suggest it to her – shame I’m not the best man!

      • pensitivity101's avatar pensitivity101 February 22, 2023 / 22:40

        hehe. I always said I should have married the best man and not my first husband. He was taller!!!

      • Russell Gayer's avatar Russell Gayer February 25, 2023 / 21:13

        Perhaps she’d settle for a mediocre man under the circumstances.

    eek!

    Now that may test the relationship to breaking point

    Not so much postponed as cancelled, I fear!

    Delaying for a little? Me thinks forever…

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 22, 2023 / 17:31

      He thinks he is, but he’s going to be disappointed!

    I don’t think John is getting another chance, unless his fiancée is equally keen on football 😂😂😂😂

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 22, 2023 / 17:48

      Even if she was, I’m sure she’ll lose interest in football now!

      • Sadje's avatar Sadje February 23, 2023 / 01:41

        Haha! Yes, quite likely

  8. Sandra's avatar Sandra February 22, 2023 / 16:01

    Yep, that’s the best suicide note I’ve read in a long time.

  9. granonine's avatar granonine February 22, 2023 / 16:13

    So he ditches his wedding and leaves all the mess for her to clean up? Yeah, no. Buh-bye forever, John. What a putz!

  10. James's avatar James February 22, 2023 / 16:54

    I don’t think there’s going to be a wedding.

    This is one powerful message.
    Guts of the groom! Great expectations!!!

  12. rochellewisoff's avatar rochellewisoff February 22, 2023 / 20:08

    Dear Keith,

    Love u lots????. I think he needs to have his butt kicked across the football field. Nope, not good husband material. She should take a girlfriend on the honeymoon trip and leave John in the dust.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2023 / 15:00

      That’s an excellent idea Rochelle, hopefully, she’ll read this and take note!

    Years ago my husband and I had sent the wedding gift and were looking forward to the big party on Friday night. Thursday afternoon the hubby got a call at work saying the wedding was off. The couple eventually married, minus the party. We never did know what happened.

    I would be sure any reimbursements went to my account!

  15. msjadeli's avatar msjadeli February 23, 2023 / 03:41

    A hilarious twist on the (Dear) John letter. I’m sure after she has a wing-ding fit she’ll thank him for not being her husband. I can only imagine what being married to a prince like him would be like…

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2023 / 15:43

      Happily, thanks to his own goal she’ll never have to find out! Thanks, Lisa.

      • msjadeli's avatar msjadeli February 23, 2023 / 18:26

        You’re welcome 🙂

    Oh, there’s gonna be a bloody wedding – without you, John! While you been out at the pub watching footie, I been busy playing footsie with your best mate, Colin. His feet are warm and much bigger than yours so while you’re freezing your arse off at the game, Col and I will be like one big toasted cheese butty in our bed in Tuscany tomorrow. Bugger off, then, you stupid wanker. Did I mention Colin’s feet are bigger? Yeah, I’m chuffed! Your ex, Sally 😁

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings February 23, 2023 / 15:28

      Nancy, this is simply brilliant, especially ‘one big toasted cheese butty in our bed’! I wish I’d written it!

      • The Sicilian Storyteller's avatar The Sicilian Storyteller February 23, 2023 / 15:41

        Thanks, luv! Just having a bit of fun! You set the stage; that was a great post!

    Oh I think John’s gonna be in trouble when he gets home!

  18. CGraith's avatar CGraith February 23, 2023 / 22:47

    Game over, I think!

  19. Alicia Jamtaas's avatar Alicia Jamtaas February 23, 2023 / 23:24

    Say what? I DO NOT like this man one little bit! Luckily, he let her know ~ maybe unknowingly ~ what a jerk he is. Well done.

  20. britcanwrites's avatar britcanwrites February 24, 2023 / 05:25

    😳😂 I think those will be his last words to Sally. Hopefully the game gives him a lifetime of happiness. 🥴

  21. poetisatinta's avatar poetisatinta February 24, 2023 / 16:23

    Haha – great take – I would like to have seen the text response 🙂

  22. athling2001's avatar athling2001 February 24, 2023 / 20:52

    Someone is starting off on the very wrong foot. Hopefully, she is understanding.

  23. Bill's avatar Bill February 24, 2023 / 22:04

    Here lies the idiot formerly known as John X. They say he was dedicated. Sally said not.
    Another fun one, Keith.

  24. Brenda's Thoughts's avatar Brenda's Thoughts February 24, 2023 / 23:05

    Oh no! Poor Sally and in the end poor John. I have a feeling the response he gets is not the one he expects. So creative!

  25. plaridel's avatar plaridel February 25, 2023 / 07:12

    i’m sure it’s a deal breaker for her, but boys will be boys. 🙂

  26. Russell Gayer's avatar Russell Gayer February 25, 2023 / 21:14

    Well, a man has to keep his priorities in order.

  27. Dawn's avatar Dawn February 26, 2023 / 13:34

    Enjoying the viewpoints in the comments almost as much as the wedding fiasco, lol. Hope Sally had a fabulous time at her ‘goodbye John’ party and took her best friend on a fabulous trip! 💞

  28. authorfleurl's avatar authorfleurl February 28, 2023 / 11:11

    Yikes!! he is one very brave man… maybe he has a death wish lol
    Another fun story, Keith, it’s a great take on the prompt 🙂 Well done!
    I’ve not written for a couple of weeks now…I’ve been finishing a big crochet project for my daughter’s birthday in 2 weeks. I’m starting to get writer’s withdrawal!
