"The Reluctant Bride" by Mike Hunt (MrM1ke@aol.com). As I read this story, I suspected a forgery. The bride's dress was stylish: "The bodice was quite low cut, but a wide needlepoint bobbinet covered the swell of her breasts which would have been otherwise on display." Stylish bodice... needlepoint bobbinet... Mike Hunt my ass!

But while demonstrating that the dress is convertible, the bride to be of Mike's friend Brian sheds her inhibitions and her clothing - and at this point I agreed that this was indeed the Real McCoy.

This story is not all that hard to summarize. Remember how on those old "Dragnet" shows Sergeant Friday and his partner would engage in a dialogue that was essentially a verbatim chapter from an anti-crime textbook? Well, this is Mike's chapter on "The Sanctity of Marriage: Or What Goes Around Cums Around." Actually, that would have been a much better title: "The Reluctant Bride" sucks - literally.

Anyway, Mike is a member of the wedding party; and as the hour of the wedding approaches, he humps the bride. Repeatedly. And all in the name of the sanctity of marriage.
