THE BRIDE AND THE GROOMS

Taylor Green is so nice. Too nice. She keeps getting engaged in conversation.

I have a daydream


"OK, kids, here's tonight's top 10 list." *

(Applause.)

"Here are the top 10 rejected titles for the upcoming romantic comedy movie, 'The Bride & The Grooms.' I tell ya, Paul, this is quite the wacky concept. Wacky. Just wacky. Nuts, I tell ya."

(Paul laughs.)

"Wacky ... concept," Paul says.

"Wacky," Dave says. "Wacky concept."

"What's it about?" Paul asks.

"You don't know?" Dave asks.

"No."

"But you were calling it a wacky concept."

"I was calling it a wacky concept because you were calling it a wacky concept."

"Paul, if you don't know what it's about, don't act like you know what it's about."

"I'm sorry. Truly sorry."

"No, you're not."

(Paul laughs. Audience laughs.)

"Dave, from the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. ... So what's it about?"

"I forget."

(Loud laughter.)

"No, I remember," Dave says. "It's about a woman who accidentally gets engaged to four men at the same time."

"Accidentally?"

"Accidentally."

"How is that even possible?"

"I don't know. That's ... (snapping his fingers) the hook, the big tease, the, the, the ..."

"Wacky concept."

"Exactly. Wacky concept."

"Paul."

"Yes, Dave?"

"Has anyone you know ever been engaged to four men at the same time?"

(Paul smirks.)

"Never mind."

(Loud laughter.)

"OK, here we go:"

"Number 10 ... 'More Than A Few Good Men.' "

"Number 9 ... 'Dude, Where's My Bride?' "

"Number 8 ... 'May the Four Be With You.' "

"Number 7 ... 'Four to One, She Doesn't Get Married.' "

"Number 6 ... 'Here Comes the Bride ... Who is the Groom?' "

"Number 5 ... 'Taylor's Mate.' "

"I don't get that one," Paul says.

"Well, obviously, Taylor is the bride's name. Played by ... let's see (checking note cards) ... played by a young, up-and-coming actress named Jacilyn Ledford."

"Jaclyn?"

"No, Paul. Listen. There's an 'I' in there. Jacilyn. Don't embarrass me. She's going to be out here in three minutes. Don't embarrass me by mispronouncing her name."

"I will say it correctly, sir. Jacilyn."

"Jacilyn."

"Jacilyn. ... Wait, who are the four guys?"

"I dunno ... let's see. Shaphan David Seiders, Michael Wendt, Christopher Leabu and Oliver Gray."

"Is Michael Wendt related to George Wendt?" Paul asks.

"I dunno, let's ask them. George Wendt and Michael Wendt!"

(Audience applauds. George Wendt -- Norm from 'Cheers' -- walks out with up-and-coming actor Michael Wendt.)

"So, are you two related?"

In unison, George and Michael Wendt say, "Nope."

"George Wendt and Michael Wendt -- not related!"

(George and Michael Wendt leave to applause.)

"Where were we?" Dave asks. "Oh, yes. 'Taylor's Mate.' "

"Wait, why can't Taylor be the groom's name?" Paul asks. "There are men named Taylor."

"Yes, of course there are, Paul. But if it's a guy named Taylor, that's giving away the ending if the groom is named Taylor and the title is 'Taylor's Mate.' "

"Ah, you're right. Sorry. A thousand apologies."

"Shall we go on?"

"Please."

"Number 4 ... 'The Ring 4' "

"Number 3 ... 'Engaged in Conversation.' "

"Number 2 .... Two words: 'Prenuptual Disagreement.' "

"And the Number 1 rejected title for the upcoming romantic comedy movie, 'The Bride & The Grooms' -- which will be in theaters around the country April 24-26 -- is ...

"Aisle: Be Sure."

(Cue the band. Audience applauds. Snap out of daydream.)

* I put these words in quotes because this is what happened in my daydream. In no way am I implying actual people named Dave and Paul said them.
