"Goodbye Penny." He said in a voice tinged with bitter finality, before marching out of the room like a condemned prisoner.
*****
This is the first part of a 2 part story. It has struck me that some romantic comedies have a story line in which the female protagonist has a boyfriend or fiancé that she dumps, in one way or another, for the male protagonist. They go off to live happily ever after, leaving the other guy, whom we know little and care little about to pick up the pieces of his life. This includes movies like "Sleepless in Seattle", "The Graduate" and "Sweet Home Alabama". This story is not intended to be a Romantic Comedy, but rather to just take the form of a Romantic Comedy as it looks at what it's like to be the guy who gets the shaft.
I apologize for the length of the story. It got away from me and I didn't have the time or inclination to pare it down.

Anonymousabout 2 months agoI think it would have been an excellent ending to have Jason turn to his father, in front of the large gathering crowd, and say, 'Come on Dad, let's get out of here. It's probably all for the best that I found out she's a lying, cheating slut before we got married instead of a couple of years down the road and I was stuck with her'. Turning to walk through the shocked crowd, he said to his father once again, 'what a piece of shit, they deserve each other'.
Anonymousabout 2 months agoI have hopes that Chapter 2 (which I have not yet read) will repair the "total wimp" portrayal of Jason's character that this one paints.

Incidentally, if the last paragraph of the author's afterword is meant to actually be an apology, it falls short. First sentence offers an apology, then second/last sentence functionally retracts it.
The message becomes more like "Yes, I made it too long, but that's YOUR problem" -- and while that may be accurate, it's NOT a true apology!
Sarahwithlove5 months agoThis is a perfect "Carrie" moment..."suddenly the doors to the church slam shut, the crucifix turns upside down, and fire consumes the entire ceremony, killing all those in attendance. All those but one lone figure...and his father." I don't know why this came to mind, although I do like the dark side sometimes....don't mess with me.
Harryin VA5 months agothe problem with a story is that once again the main character Jason is fucking stupid. I mean almost to the point of being retarded.
.
For example how does he not know about the big break up between his fiance and her last serious boyfriend? They've been engaged for how long and he has never heard the story before? That makes no sense and it's completely unrealistic. That's not the way people who are engaged and about to get married do things. This was a major event in that woman's life and up until the car drive to the wedding he had no idea what actually happened.
.
That is just crap.
.
Almost as bad as the way Jason sits there when the next boyfriend shows up to the Rehearsal dinner without his approval without his knowledge and he does nothing. For hours..
.
Of course, the woman would end up cheating with Kenny.
BigBlueKat8 months agoGood story about a really stupid bitch that Jason is better off without, but it will be pend on the ending. 4* so far.
