Another lousy wedding toast

The day Julie’s wedding reception was ruined

Never had a Columbus bride anticipated her first dance more than Julie (I changed the name to protect the innocent). She and her fiancée, 'Wally', had diligently, even feverishly, worked on their dance technique to pull off the perfect first dance. And then it all fell apart, leaving them victims…
