LOL. Honestly, I've often wondered how the conversation between Lana and Clark happened that got her the invite in the first place?


CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

I'm with Lois.

A pushy ex-girlfriend who wrangles a late invitation to a wedding is not to be trusted.

Great story!

I lol'd. Lois sending Lana to the Metropolis Sewage Reclamation facility? Sounds like a good plan to get rid of a potential rival. laugh

clap I should have figured that is where Lois would send Lana, but I didn't until the mosquito was mentioned.

On the other hand, I don't know why Lois would do that, Lana never seemed a real threat in LnC, but it was a fun story none the less.

clap That was hilarious! I think Lois was well within her right. She may know that nothing Lana does to steal Clark away will ever amount to anything, but that doesn't mean she can't have a little fun with it! Besides, Clark did it himself, so he's got no excuse! :p I can just imagine Lana forcing her way in, though....

Should have been a premarriage fight err, discussion. Who invites ex-s to the wedding?
Aside from cases where they were not really ex-s, such as the guy whose date fell for his roommate and the like.

Lana kinda invited herself. Mr. Nice guy didn't have the nerve to just say no. How do you un-invite someone any how?

This story tells us very little about this Lana's relationship with Clark. We have no idea, based upon this story, what the Lana of this universe is like, or whether she was as pushy as alt-Lana or, presumably, canon-Lana. We don't know whether she invited herself (as did canon-Lana) or whether Clark invited her.

I agree that the conversation regarding who should be invited should have taken place pre-wedding. But reading between the lines in the story, the two had agreed to invite her. Although Lois did not wish to do so, she had apparently conceded the invitation. She either should have "had it out with Clark" before the wedding or else, having agreed to invite Lana, she should have sent an honest invitation. What she did was passive-aggressive and, frankly, is a horrible start to the marriage, IMHO.

That being said, I still found the story hysterical.

Joy,
Lynn

Oh, I don't know about that.

They weren't invited, but when I was married the girl I dumped for my wife and my wife's ex-husband showed up - together. They were married a few months later. We were not invited and did not attend.

Joy,

I'm glad you liked it. The likeliness of a fight is why I ended the scene before Clark actually found out where Lois had sent Lana. I didn't want to turn what was supposed to be a funny story into a depressing one.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree that Lana was probably not to be trusted.

I'm glad you thought it was funny. That's one way to successfully take care of a rival.

I threw that reference of the mosquito in there as a subtle hint as to where Lana was. Glad you caught it.

I'm glad you found it to be hilarious. Clark really can't protest too much since he did the same thing to Lois.

Wait, Ken. Your ex and your now-wife's ex-husband showed up to YOUR wedding without being invited? rotflol funny, because I think Lana was deserving of this for her actions. Clark owes Lois big-time too for allowing himself to be such a pushover to his ex-girlfriend. Is he going to let Lana stay with them the next time she's in Metropolis for a visit? He needed to stand up to Lana at some point and this would have been the perfect opportunity. Although, since Clois probably snubbed Lana at the ARGH wedding reception, having no idea who she was, that might have taken care of that possibility.

I agree. This is definitely a discussion they should have had before the wedding. Of course, the story wouldn't have been as funny if Lana had been simply uninvited.

Good point. Lana did sort of invite herself from what we know from the show, and it would have been somewhat awkward to tell her she was uninvited. Of course, Lois' solution won't make things any less awkward the next time she and Clark see Lana.

Wow, I really can't imagine showing up to an ex's wedding uninvited. Even with an invitation, I'm not sure I'd want to go because things could still feel uncomfortable for all parties involved.

Great story! And I didn't catch on that it would be the Sewage Reclamation facility till the end either...great way to end it--definitely had me party

It was probably--no, make that obviously-- pretty rude of Lois to address Lana's invite to the sewage facility--and to do it behind Clark's back isn't great either--but...I was still happy she did so smile . You don't just invite yourself to someone's wedding (especially your ex's)--and she would have known that Clark was too polite to say 'no'.

And, like was mentioned earlier--Clark did send Lois there when they were getting to know each other...he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on.

Thanks for a fun read--loved it smile


"Where's Clark?" "Right here."

...two simple sentences--with so much meaning.
