A single-panel SMBC comic. A newly married couple sit close together: a blonde bride in a white dress and veil, hand to her mouth in delight, and a brown-haired groom in a tuxedo, smiling broadly. The bride says, 'OH DARLING! THIS WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!' The groom replies, 'ME TOO! LET'S GET MARRIED HERE AGAIN ON OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY!' The bride answers, 'OH WHAT A ROMANTIC IDEA!' A caption below reads: 'Imagine my embarrassment when Steve showed up a year later without his own new spouse.' The joke: the groom (Steve) took 'let's get married here again' literally as a standing plan to remarry rather than renew vows together, and showed up a year later expecting to marry someone new. Votey (aftercomic): a sketchy line drawing of a stern, frowning man glaring sideways, saying 'You have poor communication skills.'
