Life, Art and the Undead

[pensnest]

I was horrified to find, yesterday evening, that I was watching a Don't Tell The Bride in which the groom thought that the best way to celebrate his wedding was to surprise his bride and guests with a zombie apocalypse.

In truth, he made an excellent job of it, and she took it so well that I suspect she must have had a fair idea it would be happening. (She was really upset with his choice of wedding dress, which seemed to be a genuine surprise.) She appeared quite delighted at being 'rescued' from a crowd of ravening zombies by a bridegroom in combat gear wielding a gun.

I conclude that: (a) my MTYG story was more realistic than even I thought, at least in terms of the victim/recipient being charmed by a zombie horde, and (b) people are strange.

As the recipient of that wonderful story I guess I have to tell you that one of my wedding plans included having everyone show up as either survivors or zombies for the apocalypse. Which made your story even more perfect.

Ahahaha! Awesome!

What an amazing coincidence! Also, a bit more planning that goes into a normal wedding, I'd assume...

[pensnest]

It's a TV show in which the bridegroom has to organise the entire wedding without any input from or contact with his bride, in three weeks.

In other words, even scarier than zombies.

Perhaps you are developing a (benign) form of A's narrative forecasting power?
