As the month of weddings comes to a close and my friends in various States in the Union debate the definition of marriage here's the incredible Madeline Kahn with the ultimate pre-nuptial jitters from Stephen Sondheim's Company.
Believe it or not as rapid as Kahn is with the patter Beth Howland did it faster and with even clear diction in the original Broadway production.
Now someone throw the bouquet!

Mercoledi Musicale
Stephen Sondheim’s Company became a bit of a cult hit in the 1970 when it premiered in New York. It was progressive, it was edgy and it celebrated the free-wheeling culture of the period.
In this excerpt from the recording of the original cast album Bobby, a single guy with married friends, wakes up to find his one-night stand - god did we ever do things like that? - trying to sneak out. She's a flight attendant and has to head to work.
A sleepy Bobby asks: Where you going?
And she answers truthfully:
And that’s where we’ll be come this friday - Barcelona, not the one-night stand!
