My Sister's Pre-Marital Wake

I must be nutty as a fruitcake
      for attending my sister's
         'pre-marital wake'

   Sis likened marriage to 'slow death'
   She didn't want to run out of breath

      So I served her Arsenic 'n Rum in her steak

Perhaps your sister meant marriage can be breathtaking and by a slow death she meant the slower the better… Hilarious, Belle
