At the Wedding
by Amanda Deo
I wear a white dress.
I vomit on hers.
I fuck with the band. I yell at them to play Sublime. I skank my ass off. I'm the only one on the dance floor.
I punch her dad; he's a pussy. His speech lacked integrity. He owns three gas stations.
I thank everyone for coming.
I spit on my sister's dress and try to rub out the throw-up with my underwear.
This has big-time attitude, and it's funny and edgy.
Send to the VOMIT group?

Hilarious and so, so Amanda on a bad hair day! Ha! Do send it to VOMIT!
Susan, I will definitely send it on to vomit. Thank you both for your kind words!
Fun, edgy, nice family dysfunction laid out so efficiently. Loved the author's note about this piece.
Thanks, Cherise. Very kind of you. Needless to say, I went through a dysfunctional wedding process in 2009 that I never really got to sit down and write about!
Most definitely a fave!!!
Thank you Jeff!!
I really like the order of sentences. I love that how AFTER we find out the narrator punches the bride's dad (and after the choice "p" word is used on him, we find out that the narrator thinks HIS speech lacked integrity. Just perfect, that set-up. Not easy to pull off humor and emotional depth, but I think you did hit here!
Thanks, Nicole! I was trying to throw that twist in there at the end..didn't want the reader to know he was my dad, too..
This rocks.
Faved the shit out of it.
Erin, I think your comment may just be the best comment ever on fictionaut.
This is great, ha, evil yes but so so real and true to heart
pow!
I'd really, really like you to end this text with
I thank everyone for coming.
So that's my 2.4 cents. Glow words here. Thanks for writing them.
Wow! This piece is one surprise after another. Like having a pitcher of ice water poured over my head!
