This story was told on October 17th, 2013 at Fortier Park, and later produced by Karen Gardner. The theme of the evening was “Thrown”, and here Voltaire Casino came all the way from Texas to offer cautionary advice for any almost-newlyweds considering taking the plunge. *Please note, the couple in this photo is not the couple described in the story.*

*Bring Your Own is brought to you by Liam Daniel Pierce, Laine Kaplan-Levenson and Nina Feldman. For details (and more stories) go to Bringyourownstories.com.
