All Comments on 'Battle of the Banns'

Really good, liked the build-up and a great character in Val.

This one is a good indication of why. Well written, funny, interesting, and well worth the time it takes to read. You get two thumbs way up!

world wide spiderweb..yes there really are people that dumb out there...just another example of a well written story..please write more

Hi dude that was great .

50 bonus points for the "Omar Bridely" joke

Makes a nice chance from all the cold-blooded, non-erotic BDSM cluttering up the pages. Kendra reminds me of my sister-in-law[shudder],though much more attractive!

You tell this tale so well that it must be true(?) Character development for a short story is outstanding, you give them a recognizable identity is just a few sentences. Great Job!

Romantic and sexy, it even made me laugh out loud several times. Most group-sex-amongst-the-wedding-party scenes are pretty cheesy or creepy, but yours was fun, and still works with the two couples being in love.

Great story, as always.

I haven't laughed as hard as I laughed through this story in a long time. I loved all of it - the dry humor, the practical jokes, the twists and turns of the story itself. You're brilliant and you did a fabulous job with this story - and I can't wait to read more.

this story is among the best i've read

its funny

yet sexy

great job!

Your comfort comes through warmly and humorously.<P>

A strong effort Story Teller which & who is very much appreciated - Next.<P>

With Very High Regard

Humor, sex and a plot! All in one package. Erotica doesn't get better than this. Please do more, soon.

Excellant. 8BB

at all surprised, I found this story delightful, witty, fun, sexy and engaging. Extremely well done, Marsh. :)

Script

Great, as usual ! I love your stories and check for new ones before searching any others on Literotica.

Yep, you definitely get a THUMBS UP from me too, Marsh. Love it.

I loved the story very much. Keep writing them. You have talent.

This story is very good it’s romantic, funny, and well written. However, I was really disappointed that Val turned out to be such a shallow slut. The way she maneuvered Matt into the group scene and the way she pull off him to go after Dave really left me scratching my head. Maybe I missed something but this disturbed me it seemed so out of character. Matt is in for a world of disappointment if he moves in with this whore.

A great change of pace from most stories - anyplace. Funny with regular plot turns not expected, but logical. Enjoyed the read. I give it a 5+.

A great story, very well told. Loved the characters, the humor, the viewpoint, the whole shebang! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

So glad to see you back to writing again.

While your last few stories felt like you were pushing to hard, this one had the perfect mix of comedy, eroticism, depth of characters, etc that you had before.

Great work !!

Damn, I'm glad I'm a confirmed bachelor. God help the fool that gets you as a best man.

Loved it man, great story.

One of the best wedding practical jokes I've ever seen, I think I should arrange something like this for my youngest daughter when the time comes!

Excellent story, so funny, so sexy.

Being from boston, the familiar references really warmed me, especially since i can not be home right now.

Thank you for this wonderful story.

Thank you for another funny, well written, and wittily characterized story. I could've done without the group scene at the end, but that's just me. Your stories are SO much better than the run of the mill here, it feels ridiculous to rate them on the same scale! Keep up the good work.

Your characters are extremely likeable; I instantly fell for Matt and Val. I enjoy a story told from the male POV - it's nice to know what goes on in there. And I appreciated how descriptive you were, especially about the wedding arrangements. (Now I remember why I eloped - ugh) The thing I didn't like was the group scene at the end. While it was a hot scene, it was so wildly unexpected that it jettisoned me right out of the story. Even Matt's charming toast at the end couldn't bring me back.

Great story, excellent characterization, plot, humor, style, spelling/punctuation/grammar, etc. As other have said, though, the group sex scene was jarring and unapealling; it seemed to be a major departure from what we had come to believe the characters (Val in particular) were like, and made them less sympathetic.

Okay, this was awesome. Cracked me up. Somehow I always end up reading your stories for entertainment value rather than for the sex. Hope you're planning more in the future.

I didn't find the group scene out of character for Val in any way. Her character completely captures a good friend of mine, and I wasn't surprised at all. Just because a woman may not find herself the most attractive woman in the room, doesn't mean she doesn't have the gumption to take a risk or grab what she wants, sexually or otherwise. You can recognize your level of "classical" beauty for what it is or isn't, and still have solid self worth and enjoy your own sexuality. And I loved the way Matt phrased his comments about Anna (and by implication Val) not being the most beautiful, but somehow being more attractive. So I'm left wondering... what in the story would lead you to think the group scene was out of character for Val?

One of the few stories that really caught (and held) my interest. There is so much more to erotica than just sex, and your mixture of dry wit, humour and a strong plot really hit the target. A tale well-told.

Excellent story and very funny. My favourite part: when the bride, groom and Val look to Matt to see if he had any objection to the marriage. "No, I'm cool." Genius!

i thought it was great. i laughed the whole way thur. thanks for a great story

I thoroughly enjoyed the sense of humor with the elaborate set up about the banns. I almost went bann-anas! Thanks for the story!!

I haven't laughed so hard all week.

Thanks!

Lots of fun.

Reminds me about "The Quiet Man", a favorite of mine. CajunBill

Excellent story - very funny and imaginative - but building to a terrific and unexpected erotic climax.

This is absolutely hilarious. I was laughing out loud on almost every page. I normally have trouble finding my humor, but this hit the spot. Maybe because I'm planning my own wedding?

Thank you very much for sharing this great story!

I do hope you are still writing!

What a wonderful read. Warm and adventurous with many LOL moments. Please come back with more.

...a great combo!

Laugh cry and Happy Happy Happy.

Thanks for sharing on Lit.

Humorous, romantic, errors in the wedding,just as there would be in life!

Great writing!

to be are you still mine, and playbacks are available. TK U MLJ LV NV

Love it - you write some good stories. Keep it up.

Very funny - a nice light touch.

And funnier than hell. Well played.

Great job! I really enjoyed it. Very funny topic. I look forward to reading the rest of your stories.

As I read this story, I could visualize it in 'letter box' format on TCM with Carey Grant and Katherine Hepburn staring and the screen play taking this year's Oscar. What a great romantic comedy!

A truly awesome story. I think I attended that wedding!!

Please stop. Your stories are killing me. It seems each one I read is funnier than than last, sexy, and might I say "just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek"! 😳

I applaud the Master ... Writer!

- pal

Funniest I've read for a long time.

That must be the best story on here that I have read so far ( and I have read a lot ) so so good well thought out and so subtle so believable ( up to a point ), great read well written and presented .

Nice ending...

But if Amy has a degree from the Wharton School, I doubt she’d have to resort to working in a factory regardless of her slutty behaviour.

Funniest and surely most romantic story in Erotic Couplings ever!!

loved it

Pure garbage

It is, after all, a fairy tale of the highest order.

Absolutely hilarious!!

It's "bans" not "banns".

Loved it.

I think that Val might be pushing her luck on the marriage banns with Lucy, although it's a nice finishing touch.

A great story, with a good balance of elements, including humor.

And from a quick web search, Anonymous 3 months ago is just dead wrong when they say: It's "bans" not "banns". Either that or they missed the fact that the practical joke hinged on the wordplay of equating "banns" with "bans".

Good writing and editing. Nice twists. Overall, very good job.

Well, that was fun, mostly. I did not care for the switcheroo thing. It was absolutely unnecessary for the flow or advancement of the story. But all of a sudden we got a glimpse of some previously hidden character traits, terminating my built up sympathy for our heroes at once. By letting perform Val and Matt in front of the masturbating bride and groom you took it far enough, anybody in favour of sharing/swinging could have imagined for things like this to happen in the future. But actually describing how it ended with oral sex between maid of honour and groom and best man and bride ruined it for the more monogamous inclined, like me.

LOL, well done

Sick, sick, sick mind. And I loved it!!!! Entertaining. reminds me of some of the crap my buddies and I pulled on each other over the years.

Loved it.

Just want say a big thank you to whoever trained that spider to spin so much optic fibre, damn fine job Sir (or Ma’am). 😉

5/5 for making me smile and for being completely irreverent, regards, Ppfzz.

Good yarn!p

Love the twists and turns, especially culminating in the proto-climax. Completely delightful!

Loved it. Funny, a bit irreverent, romantic and naughty at the end. Thank you.

Part two when?

A really enjoyable fun read
