WEBVTT

00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.559
There's nothing more exciting and beautiful than
the union of two souls who love each

2
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.320
other. But there's also nothing more
terrifying. Making the leap into holy matrimony

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:16.600
is one thing, But what happens
when the leap is into something not even

4
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:26.239
remotely holy, something truly and simply
evil. What's that? You want to

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:39.880
be scared to? Come with me. You will experience tales over our ghosts

6
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:48.840
and death. It is not recommended
for a week at heart heart listen as

7
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:55.280
in the dark. It's more fun
at that way way. This is Weekly

8
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:07.519

while you may not have been fully aware,

11
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.079
I was actually gone for the last
ten days, but I made sure

12
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:27.719

so happy to be back in front

scares every single week. And I
want to mention this Monday is the return

15
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:45.280

now, my DearS, it's time for

31
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:59.759
us to head back to Strickfield because
I understand there's a wedding and we're all

32
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.360
invited, So put on your dancing
shoes and get ready to pocket some free

33
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.000
shrimp. That story will begin in
just a moment, but first a quick

34
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:25.240
word. Till death do Us Part? By Rob Fields fourteen months ago.

35
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.360
Ain't a church supposed to be a
safe, sacred place. Ain't all churches

36
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:37.759
considered the house of God? Y'all
wouldn't have known that if you was at

37
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.759
the Strickfield Community Church. It was
Saturday afternoon and my best friend was supposed

38
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.840
to be marrying her fella. You'd
have thought it'd be a happy scene.

39
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.159
The guests invited filled many of the
pews there. You would have seen the

40
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.599
minister herself, Delphine Brewster Sloan,
conducting the wedding between my girl, Whitney

41
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.800
Miron and her fella, her high
school's sweetheart. But you see, I

42
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.759
know what Whitney knows. The fella
ain't been faithful to Whitney. In fact,

43
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.919
i'd done seen her cheating twice with
different women. First time was with

44
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.800
Whitney's mama, and a couple days
ago her fella was putting the screws to

45
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:25.639
a stripper at his bachelor party.
Whitney's fella knew I knew about him and

46
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.240
Whitney's mama, and swore up and
down he'd kill me if i'd done told

47
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.759
her. But that's just it.
I told Whitney. She ain't none believed

48
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.079
me about her mama, but she
done saw what I saw with that stripper.

49
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.959
Whitney was fuman to kill her fella
right then and there. Honestly,

50
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.199
I would have thought she would have
ended the wedding, But the wedding happened,

51
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:56.000
and everything started off like you'd expect
a wedding to start. Then it

52
00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:01.160
happened. Whitney suddenly turned and faced
everybody, but y'all wouldn't recognize her.

53
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.720
When I saw her, I dounepede
myself. Whitney was a ghost bride right

54
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.639
out of some horror flick. Her
eyes glowed red, and her skin was

55
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:17.040
like shining marble. She done completely
looked like some other girl. Suddenly,

56
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.879
Whitney pointed past the crowd. I
swear y'all could have heard every door in

57
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:28.160
here locking fast. Minister Brewster Sloane
shrieked and stepped away from the couple.

58
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.040
Almighty God in heaven, she choked
out. Whitney turned to her. God

59
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:40.560
doesn't exist here, she laughed coldly, or he would have appeared when you

60
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.199
asked if there was a reason why
my groom and I shouldn't be married.

61
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.879
Whitney's suddenly pointing right at her fella, while holding her bridal bouquet, which

62
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:57.399
looks more like black roses now instead
of the red ones originally. You cheating

63
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.399
bastard, she accused him. Why
did you even keep our wedding today when

64
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:05.959
you don't even love me, she
screams now, making him fly out into

65
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.319
the crowd. Then she drops the
bouquet. You betrayed me, lover,

66
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:16.079
but we'll have one hell of an
event here today. When that Whitney thing

67
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.959
went out into the crowd, the
guests ran to the doors. I knew

68
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.959
deep down they wouldn't budge none.
When I tried running, Whitney was suddenly

69
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.839
right there. I know you tried
telling me about his cheating and I wouldn't

70
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.000
listen, But you still get to
be my maid of honor. Whitney turned

71
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:41.560
and went to her fella. Boy
was he ever begging and pleading for Whitney

72
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:46.480
to let him live. Whitney smiled
at him. I'll spare your life if

73
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.959
you can show that you're faithful to
whomever you truly do, give your black

74
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:57.600
heart too. She raised her finger. But be warned. If I see

75
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:02.759
you're still unfaithful, then I'll return
for you on your wedding day. Whitney

76
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:08.199
turned her attention to the crowd and
laughed insanely as she went and painted the

77
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.839
church with the blood from the guests. I peed myself again at the horror

78
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.759
I was seeing. I was a
mess when Whitney returned to me, her

79
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:21.240
once beautiful bridle gown now all wet
and red itself. Whitney's mouth was full

80
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:27.000
of blood. Then she licked her
fingers like she'd done finished a good help

81
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.079
in her ribs on Memorial Day.
I know you tried to tell me about

82
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.680
mom. Oh, but I just
ate her black heart, She smiled,

83
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:43.279
a toothy smile. Don't worry,
Arianne, you and the minister get to

84
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.240
live. Next thing I knew.
Whitney picked up her bouquet of black roses.

85
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.879
Then I remembered where she got them
from. Whitney's MoMA found them for

86
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:56.519
her at a stand at Jamie's flea
Market near the village limits. On the

87
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.839
west side, there was this booth
set up called Tinkers. The man there

88
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.639
was selling odd junk, but he
also had this bridal bouquet and his refrigerator

89
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.319
off to the side, and made
her an offer she couldn't refuse. Whitney's

90
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:18.879
Mamma was such a cheapskate even with
Whitney. Whitney smiled. Now almost forgot

91
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.879
the most important part. Whitney shoved
the bouquet of black roses into my arms.

92
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.160
I hissed when my fingers got cut
by them thorns. I was bleeding

93
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:35.200
on the flowers. Now soon they
all turned red again as before. Whitney

94
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.320
pointed at me. You're getting married
next girl. She lowered her hand.

95
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.000
Hopefully you'll find a man that'll worship
the ground you walk on, because I

96
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:52.039
sure didn't. She turned to her
fella, remember, if you're unfaithful to

97
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.799
your next bride, I'll return for
you and claim your soul. Then Whitney

98
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:05.039
laughed this horrible laughter as she suddenly
caught fire and started burning. The minister

99
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.320
and I escaped the churches. It
caught fire and burned to the ground.

100
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:11.519
I didn't know about the minister,
but I knew I'd never forget that day

101
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:22.320
as long as I lived the present. I'd taken that next big step with

102
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.000
my fellow once I'd finally taken a
long shower and had a few too many

103
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.399
nightmares about Whitney Miron's wedding. Lance
Westerhold and I had been seeing each other

104
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.679
off and on for a long time. I couldn't tell you why we kept

105
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.879
getting back together and backing off each
other. I couldn't even tell you how

106
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:46.159
many times we fucked again and again. I admit without reservations, I ain't

107
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.360
pretty and ain't no prize to catch. I know for a fact Lance has

108
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.720
fucked other girls who could have been
sex stars. Lance could have done way

109
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.159
better than me. I even joke
about being beaten with an ugly stick by

110
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.399
my mama many times. I never
understood to this day why guys think I'm

111
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.360
some kind of prize getting back to
Lance. I was just leaving Woodies,

112
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.159
driving after finishing my open to clothes. Yeah. I was a car hop

113
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.240
who served people on roller skates.
What's really fucked up? I actually loved

114
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.360
working there. Yeah, y'all heard
me. I loved being on my skates

115
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.960
all day. PA ain't for shit, but I get me some damn good

116
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:31.240
tips. I was walking home to
my trailer when Lance pulled up beside me

117
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.759
and his Dodge charger. Now you
talking about a complete mismatch here. Lance

118
00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.840
was one of them handsome, muscular
mechanics you'd see in an older romance movie.

119
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.519
I was just a scrawny, ugly
thing. He had that nice car,

120
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.960
and I had my roller skates.
He lived in a small house.

121
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.399
I was just trailer trash. Lance
was the kind of guy who knew what

122
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.519
he wanted and went and got it. I was the kind of girl who

123
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:01.399
accepted her lot in life and lived
with it. Let me alone, Lance,

124
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.919
God damn it, I yelled,
I ain't no mood for your shit

125
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.639
today. We was out on Township
Road one pint thirteen, not far from

126
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.200
my trailer. In other words,
nobody was coming or going when Lance stopped

127
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:18.039
me and started working his charms on
me again. He started telling me I

128
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.120
was the only woman for him.
I told him he was so full of

129
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.120
shit it was coming out his brown
eyes. When I told him to fuck

130
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.320
off again. He finally got out
of his car and came to me.

131
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.600
Then the fucker grabbed me and crushed
me against him as he gagged me with

132
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.480
his big tongue. Next thing I
knew, he got my shorts off and

133
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.759
was banging me in the back seat. Like I said, he had all

134
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.519
them other hot pieces of ass he
could be having whenever he wanted, And

135
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:52.840
the dumb fuck kept coming right back
to me one more time. I am

136
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:58.000
an ugly ass fucking girl. And
no, Lance ain't been drinking, cause

137
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.320
i'd ha tasted it when he was
sucking with me. Also, Lance ain't

138
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:07.519
my first, but I was definitely
his. It was at Strickfield High when

139
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.799
Lance saw me and Tammy Lesher at
a football game. My girl and I

140
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.720
were smoking a bowl together when Lance
approached us. Now, Tammy was one

141
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.320
of them hot girls Lance could have
had whenever he wanted, but he couldn't

142
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.120
keep his eyes off of me.
When Tammy went back to the game,

143
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.320
Lance grabbed a hold of me and
took me where no nosey Parker could see

144
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.240
us. I kept insisting Tammy could
have given him a much better time than

145
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:37.039
me, but he stripped me naked
and gave me his cherry. I ain't

146
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.360
telling you how I knew I was
his first, but believe me when I

147
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.440
say I knew like I said,
We've been off and on in and out

148
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.799
of bed together, in and out
of relationships, and now we was in

149
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.000
the back seat of his car.
I never saw it coming. After he'd

150
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:01.200
fucked me twice, He'd said it
right to my very lips. Nothing much

151
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:07.320
surprised me after Whitney's wedding, except
that the fuck you say, marry me

152
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.200
Arianne, he repeated. We looked
at each other for the longest time.

153
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.879
Then I scoffed, fuck you,
marry me Arianne, he whispered to my

154
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.679
lips one more time. We looked
at each other for the longest time again.

155
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.440
Then I told him the closest thing
to a yes. He was gonna

156
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:33.039
get fuck you, I muttered.
Then he fucked me a couple more times

157
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:39.240
in his back seat to make our
engagement official. Anyway, that's how I

158
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.559
keep remembering it. As I'm getting
out of bed and leaving Lance sleeping,

159
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.559
I go into the bathroom and look
in the mirror. My ugly ass face

160
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.639
was staring right back at me.
At first, I was gonna laugh for

161
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.440
even dreaming. Lance asked me to
marry him till I'm feeling the weight on

162
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:00.279
my left hand and raise it to
see the big glowing rock he put my

163
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.960
finger. I come back out and
look at Lance as he keeps snoring away.

164
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.919
Now, unlike Whitney, I know
exactly what to expect from my fella.

165
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.600
Yeah, I know, goddamn well, he's gonna keep fucking other women

166
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.320
like I'm gonna keep fucking other fellas. And we're getting married. The rock

167
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.759
on my finger says we are okay. Know one. What I know about

168
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.519
Lance. All I'm wondering is why
I ain't rich, Like I said,

169
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.600
I'm a car hop at an old
time driving. I own this trailer and

170
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.840
the land at rests on that.
My folks left me out right, and

171
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:41.600
it's my only lot in life.
Only thing I'm thinking is I gotta be

172
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.320
one hell of a hot fuck.
I shake my head and keep wondering how

173
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:48.879
I keep getting laid when fellas shouldn't
want to touch me with a ten foot

174
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:54.840
pole. And then I see that
fucking bouquet of flowers Whitney Mirror gave me

175
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.960
at that wedding from Hell, all
them months ago. Yeah it's been months,

176
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.759
and them flowers they're still looking like
I just picked them up at the

177
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.799
flower shop. There's still red as
the blood I bled on them that day

178
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.679
I went and picked up the bouquet. Then I shook my head slowly,

179
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.039
fuck you. I took them fucking
flowers outside, not giving two shits who

180
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.720
drive by and see me naked.
I tossed them into the fire pit I

181
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.279
burn shit in after soaking them down
good and gasoline and lighting them up.

182
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.080
I'm amazed yet again. Not only
am I getting married, them flowers from

183
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.639
hell ain't even burning up, even
after making the flames go real high.

184
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:45.480
Then the fire finally goes out.
Them flowers are still there. I reach

185
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:50.200
into the pit and pull them out. They ain't even warm. Next thing,

186
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.960
I knew Lances out here with me. He cradled me into him from

187
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.639
behind so he can swap spitting morning
breath in a kiss the day of the

188
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.879
wedding, and is finally here.
It definitely wouldn't be a very big one,

189
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.320
but there was enough people on both
my side and his that came.

190
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.759
Believe it or not, Lance's parents
paid for our wedding. Now I know

191
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:15.759
for a fact, Lance's parents ain't
never liked me none too much. I

192
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.679
even heard his daddy telling him he
could do so much better than me.

193
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.320
Hell I even told Lance he could
do way better than me. All the

194
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:27.759
dumbass says back to me, is
I love you Arian and I'm marrying you.

195
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.720
Keep in mind, I ain't never
said I loved him, But I

196
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.159
think he knew I'd stay with him
when I'd let him fuck me six ways

197
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.240
from Sunday, even after I knew
he'd just fucked another woman, or when

198
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.720
I'd show up walking funny in his
place. Yet he still wants to marry

199
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:52.320
me. Well fuck it. Then, getting back to the weddin, we

200
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.279
was wearing normal dress clothes. Fuck
being all formal and everything. Lance comes

201
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:00.759
and looks at me before the wedding. Forget he ain't supposed to see the

202
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.440
bride before the wedding. Right,
we're alone with each other now. You

203
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.519
just know we're gonna be miserable together. Right. I tell him you can

204
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:14.599
do so much better than me.
Last chance to tell me to fuck off.

205
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.200
I promise you no hard feelings.
He just pulls me into his arms

206
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:23.200
and stares deep into my eyes.
I love you. I laugh a little,

207
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.359
and you're off your fucking rocker,
leaving that rich girl all to her

208
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.960
own at your wedding rehearsal. Not
just a rich girl a mirror, You

209
00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:36.920
do know, Mirrans are rich as
fuck, right, Yet your dumb ass

210
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.559
done stood her up when you came
to my trailer and fucked me. We

211
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.759
stare at each other again. Then
he kisses me one more time before leaving

212
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:52.640
me before our wedding. Suddenly that
that fucking bouquet of flowers is right there

213
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.319
on the table. I take him
in my hands and hold him in front

214
00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:03.160
of me. The bloody red flowers
turn death lee black funny thing. Not

215
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.119
only have I continued having nightmares about
Whitney's weddin, but I keep having nightmares

216
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:12.119
about some of her last moments before
the wedding. I'd swear I was looking

217
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:18.160
right through her own eyes. That
rich girl found herself a fellow whom thought

218
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:22.519
the world of her the way she
did him her girls she went to Strickfield

219
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.599
High with kept telling her he wasn't
no good for she wouldn't listen. I

220
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:32.480
saw everything like I was. Whitney
Mihin herself. She gave this man her

221
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:37.279
everything. She gave him her heart, she gave him her body however he

222
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.640
wanted to do her. She thought
she did everything right. Then the wedding

223
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:48.920
came and Whitney got this very bouquet
Whitney's mom especially ordered him just for her

224
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.720
from a man named Isley Tinker.
Turned out he was doing flowers on the

225
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.160
side of selling odds and ends at
a junk shop. When Whitney got the

226
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:02.480
flowers, her fingers got pricked by
the thorns. Same when Whitney put him

227
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:07.759
in my hands. After Whitney bled
all over him, she learned the truth

228
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:12.480
about her fella. He was never
once loyal to her. Whitney's fella fucked

229
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.960
around on her again and again.
The more she saw, the more she

230
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:23.039
burned hot as hell. And at
the Strickfield Community Church where the wedding was

231
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:29.240
to take place, Whitney turned into
a bride from hell and slaughtered everyone in

232
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:34.359
that particular church, including the church
people themselves, save Minister Brewster Sloane.

233
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:40.519
Remember when I said I know everything
there is to know about Lance. You

234
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.480
see, Lance was the fella fucking
around on Whitney Mirran over a year ago.

235
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.599
I knew damn well he was gonna
marry her. I even agreed to

236
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.680
be Whitney's maid of honor. But
God damn if Lance wouldn't stop fucking me

237
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:59.240
anyways. Only reason Whitney didn't kill
his ass that day was because he begged

238
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.279
her for his life, promising he'd
be a better man. She said she'd

239
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.559
hold him to it. Now that
fucking music's playing for me to make my

240
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.960
entrance. Everybody's gasping at me.
Now. No, not because I'm one

241
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:18.400
ugly fucking girl about to marry Lance
Westerhold. It's because I became Whitney mir

242
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:26.759
and herself. Now I'm the same
ghostly bride Whitney became all because of having

243
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.480
them fucking flowers. The doors are
all locked tight, and I'm seeing the

244
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:36.480
look on Lance's face. He wants
to run as our relatives are exploding all

245
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.119
over the place and painting the Strickfield
Chapel the unholy red wedding it needs to

246
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.880
be. Lance is looking at me
now, knowing he fucked up royally.

247
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:51.759
In fact, it's only him,
the preacher Man and me. Now,

248
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.960
Lance, don't even try running away. I'm ready, I tell the preacher

249
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.359
Man and Whitney mirror disembodied voice.
The preacher Man stammers through the usual wedding

250
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.839
lines with Lance. Lance is looking
like he's ready to piss himself, but

251
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:15.440
he looks at me and says,
I ugh do now. The preacher Man

252
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:21.839
stammers the same lines to me,
except he calls me Whitney Miron, since

253
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.480
that's who I am now. When
he finishes, the Preacher Man and Lance

254
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:32.200
wait my answer, I look at
Lance with my glowing eyes and smile sweetly

255
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:37.640
till death do us part. And
then I drop my cursed bouquet to pull

256
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:44.720
Lance to me and seal our unholy
union with a kiss. Then the Preacher

257
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:51.799
Man watches us burst into flames as
I'm taking Lance straight to hell with me.

258
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.880
Well, my spookies, I hope
you enjoyed that story of nefarious nuptials

259
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.960
