Transcript
Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

And a couple in Iowa, an Alexis and Reen, had planned to get married at a courthouse last Thursday, just two days before Valentine's Day.

Speaker A:

Now, this was supposed to be an intimate thing, just a few loved ones.

Speaker A:

And they were all waiting at the courthouse when they found out that the judge that they had an appointment with was not going to show up, wasn't going to make it.

Speaker A:

There was not another judge available to marry them, and they were disappointed.

Speaker A:

And then the father of the bride, Alexis's father, stood up, said, my friend Jody is ordained.

Speaker A:

And Jody and his wife owned a nearby business.

Speaker A:

And so he agreed to marry the couple that day at the nearby business, which was actually a. I'll leave it to the bride to announce this.

Speaker B:

We're going to get married at the funeral home.

Speaker B:

Yay.

Speaker C:

I rolled into the funeral home, parking lot was full of cars.

Speaker C:

Didn't really know what I was getting myself into.

Speaker C:

Took 5, 10 minutes, met with them, discussed the importance, made sure they were both for real.

Speaker B:

We were in a chapel.

Speaker B:

I got to walk down the aisle with my dad.

Speaker B:

The girls got to be flower girls.

Speaker B:

My son got to be the ring bearer, and his son got to be his best man.

Speaker C:

I mean, you don't say no.

Speaker C:

You help people.

Speaker C:

And that's.

Speaker C:

I think that's what the good Lord put me on this earth to do, is to help people.

Speaker C:

And I was just happy to help.

Speaker A:

I'm sure you can tell that last lad was the owner of the funeral home that performed the ceremony.

Speaker A:

And so they.

Speaker A:

They got married in a funeral home, which, honestly, I can't decide if that's a terribly bad omen or if a couple that's so relaxed and willing to improvise is guaranteed to make it.

Speaker A:

I honestly tend to think it's probably a bad omen, but I can think of at least six other signs that the couple you're watching get married is probably not going to make it.

Speaker D:

Best way to start your day, these six jokes he's about to say, listen up for old Haystack.

Speaker D:

Crack open the mooring.

Speaker A:

Six pack the top six ways to know the couple you're watching get married is not going to make it.

Speaker A:

And don't worry, Disney, I'm not taking a shot at you here.

Speaker A:

The plastic couple on top of their wedding cake is frowning.

Speaker A:

Five, their first dance is to highway to Hell.

Speaker A:

Four, they met on the TV show the Bachelor.

Speaker A:

Three, they rewrote the vows to say until someone younger and hotter do us part.

Speaker A:

Number two, they're registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Speaker A:

Any hope of staying together and the number one way you know that the couple you're watching get married is never gonna make it on their wedding night.

Speaker A:

They booked separate rooms in separate hotels in separate circumstances.
