Indeed ... and she doesn't want to marry a soprano ... the only good explanation is, that he got killed on the way to the church ... but then someone else will have to get soprano 😈

😁 ... of course he will get stabbed 2-3 times, before he can explain ... but if she doesn't like the explanation, some part will probably be cut off 😁

Fatal mistake.... or at least, one which will lead to his being UNable to REALLY uh.... consummate a wedding ... if you get my meaning 😁

....that's right.... the most propable conclusion is he will end up singing soprano!😁

Thank you 😁 but I am not sure, if that's good for her husband 😁

Yeah, she's not a bride you want to stand up. Fun image, lol.
