One moment, the foobs were in a teal-and-lavender monstrosity of a wedding, and the next they were propelled back into the past. But it was a different version of the past. What happened?

Especially if it's outta Elly's way. John clearly seems to wanted to help at first but his refusal to pledge his allegiance to pointless busywork when there was a quicker, better way of doing things got him yelled at too often. He also seems aware that Elly likes to feel bad.
She does appear to bring much of her misery upon herself. And, in a way, she jealously guards it.
John calling Phil "stupid bachelor" is kind of like kids referring to the Trix rabbit as "Silly rabbit. Trix are for kids." Is that what you were going for?
As for John and housework, going through the reprints I was surprised how many strips there were showing John helping out around the house. However, when Lynn pulls out the old favourite joke line of "Elly does all the work", John is invariably shown as a slug.
Ha! Reminded me of this one

Yes. :)

Right--when "John is a slug" is the intended message of a given strip, I suppose we're meant to forget those pesky others. ;)
Cedar, excellent catch. I did have that particular John/Anthony sequence in mind when I planned the John/Phil dialogue. God forbid the menfolk pitch in with wedding plans. They might lose all their testosterone if the did that.

Considering how hands-off Elizabeth and Elly were with the wedding plans, if Anthony and John had done even the slightest thing, they might have come perilously close to doing more than the bride and the mother of the bride.

Good point--maybe John's true motive was to protect the impression that Liz and Elly were making a substantial contribution to the wedding planning. ;)
