Dear Annie: My wife and I went to our granddaughter’s wedding recently, and it was the first time we witnessed something that we had heard about but never seen. After the cake was cut, the bride and groom shoved the cake into each other’s faces. We were stunned. The ceremony had been so elegant and beautiful, and the dinner was wonderful. But I felt like the entire wedding was spoiled by that appalling act. My wife felt the same way. When we got back to our hotel room, that’s all we could talk about. My brother is pretty formal, and I can only imagine how furious he was to watch his daughter having a piece of cake smooshed into her face. He laughed as it happened, but I know him, and he was not laughing inside. I do not plan to bring it up with him when we are together -- not now and not ever. Do you have any thoughts about this?

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR ontract ridge HOROSCOPE C B By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, May 29, 2019: This year, you have the charm and energy to manifest your goals. Do not let this period go without making one wish a reality. If single, many people would like to be your main squeeze, if not more. Decide who and what you want. If attached, you will experience greater closeness than in the past. As a DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker couple, you achieve one of your life goals. ARIES knows how to push you in a certain direction.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You act energized and might feel unusually content. You have a hot temper and understand what you need to do to calm the waters. Confusion surrounds your con- versations, no matter how clear you want to be. Tonight: Beam in more of what you SCARY GARY Mark Buford want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Listen to what is going on. You might find that a friend has a hidden agenda. You will not be able to get past his or her de- fenses. On the other hand, in another area of life, you could be delighted by what comes your way. Tonight: Not to be found. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Zero in on what you want. You could experience anger and frustration; use these feelings to energize yourself. Vague- ness or confusion surrounds your plans Crosswords and communication. Do not be surprised if something backfires. Tonight: Where your DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni friends are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Take charge of how you project in an important situation that surrounds your work. You always want to put your best foot forward but cannot with this matter impact- ing you. Clear it out! Tonight: Think about trying another approach. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Use your imagination and knowledge to take in the big picture. The right solution will appear. Your hot temper emerges out of the blue if you hit frustration. Do not let the circumstances sit. Instead, take energy from the situation to change it. B.C. Mastroianni and Hart Tonight: Consider what has not been said. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Deal directly with a special person in your life. Your interactions with this person could be very rewarding, though you might experience frustration at times. One- on-one relating helps eliminate the confusion that seems natural today. Tonight: Be a duo. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and do not take another person’s goodwill as a given. He or she could suddenly become more explo- sive than you thought possible. Be aware of your limits, and do not push others without ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie thought. Tonight: Lie back. Allow another person to dominate. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Pace yourself and be aware of the rugged pace you are maintaining. Fatigue could cause a certain irritability to emerge. Take a break from others if you should feel this necessary. Understand your limitations. Work with them. Tonight: Make it an early night. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You are often compared to a firecracker because of your high energy, independence and a certain irregularity as to where you will land. Be more direct in ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett how you deal with a problem or greet another person who can be difficult. Tonight: Let the fun begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Stay anchored despite confusion and someone’s anger being close to the surface. This person might not be aware of how his or her temper is manifesting. Work with this person even if he or she simply cannot relate to your observations. Tonight: Head home early. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Speak your mind and clear the air Cryptoquip when you encounter confusion. A financial issue might not be as clear as you might ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe like. If you have a question or a seemingly unresolvable issue, try to bring it up in con- versation where different ideas might be aired out. Tonight: Hang with friends. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be more attentive to your finances. You might want to overspend or indulge in a purchase. Play Ralph Nader, and go for the best deal -- that is, the highest quality for the most reasonable cost. Tonight: Keep to your budget.
