Something Borrowed
For Lana's Fucked-up Wedding Toasts Challenge
Hey, everybody!
For those of you who don... ah, who are we kidding? Who here doesn’t know me?
Geez, Mom! The stink eye already? I remember – short and sweet!
Sis, did you know I used to envy every shiny new thing you had? Yup, I was jealous of you. Can you believe it?
But did y'all know that she's still the best sister ever? She always let me borrow her shiny things and didn’t get mad when I sometimes took them without asking.
And now, here you are with your new husband, Nicholas...
...who looks awfully shiny from where I’m standing.
My inner magpie is definitely awakening. You wouldn’t mind...?
What!? It was a joke!
Ahem... okay, tough crowd.
Anyway... may your marriage be as glittering as a strip club’s changing room!
To Francesca and Nicholas!

Pandora’s Burden
“My brother warned me to not accept gifts from the one who commissioned you,” said Epimetheus to the woman clad in silvery raiments standing at the entrance to the temple. Her silver tiara and the silver rings on her fingers and toes glinted in the firelight cast by torches set on either side of the doorway. Lingering in the shadows, beyond the reach of the flames as she was, he could not tell what she held in her hands. At first what appeared to be a box was perhaps a funerary urn, or maybe merely an apple.

Thought you were gonna you you already borrowed him....he is shiny after all.
That's definitely passive-suggestive. Great toast, Cristal!
Baha hayga. Hilarious Cristal. Love it.
