The Wedding Proposal

2010-09-21T03:01:00.000-07:00

I created this comics years ago before my wedding,

and thought it is a good opportunity to post it here for the Crazy Amigo Challenge - Wedding.

Here is the translation:

The Wedding

What fairy tales forgot to mention

It was supposed to be just like in fairy tales.

The prince was supposed to arrive on a white horse,

neel on one knee and ask for the princess hand...

But in reality it was a little bit different.

The princess wore trak pants, washed the dishes

and was thinking of a diet,

and the prince was just about to take out the stinky garbage.

...And then he asked if it will be ok to get married in August

between the summer exams.

I couldn't say no, it was the best time.

And after all, he is a real prince, He took out the garbage!

The cat say: What did you expected?

I would never have let them to get a horse into the house.

And what the girl on the bottom of the drawing say is:

We are out of dish soap.
