Newlyweds of June



June is the month of choice for weddings. At least since Attila the Hun croaked. Thus the “Bride/Groom” has been the traditional terms for those entering matrimony which have ostensibly been taken from the world of animal husbandry. However modernity has given cause to reconsider.

Contemporary terms are suggested:

“Yinger/Yanger”is taken from the ancient Chinese philosophy of life being a mix of Yin_Yang. This signifies an balanced mix of good_bad, dark_light, sweet_sour, rich_poor, peace_war, etc. A most realistic choice but one hesitates in its use for fear of the salacious possibilities in the vernacular that will inevitably ensue.
“Plaintiff/Defendant”. The coldest choice but we might as well make out and sign/seal the papers at once with the date to be entered later. Thus the predictable is expedited when that eventuality obtains years down the road.
“Type_A/Type_B” is the most sterile version. Not romantic but it mitigates the distress over sharing possible contagious medical conditions.
“Dopee/Grumpee” comes from the Disney Studios. Cynical but perhaps “the” choice by default as it applies at once and is not lost over the years.
