I perform civil marriage ceremonies & get to witness some very beautiful moments. Occasionally, entwined in these beautiful moments are the darnedest things: something said, something not said, something that happens. This collection of stories is in no way associated with one couple, one person, or one moment. These are my interpretations, my recollections, my musings. Nothing here is meant to embarrass, humiliate, or judge anyone or any one situation. I hope you enjoy.

You married me two years ago ....
Caller: Hi, I'd like to schedule a wedding with you. You married me 2 years ago.
Me: Oh, okay, so you want to do a renewal - not a wedding.
Caller: Oh, no, that marriage only lasted a month.
Me: Umm ... oh ... I'm sorry to hear that ...
Caller: But you were so nice and genuine ... and your ceremony was so thoughtful and sincere, I just knew I had to have you again.
Me: Umm ... thank you, that's very kind of you to say.
Caller: Yeah. My fiance' saw that your name was circled and knew that it had to be you, but ... umm ... well, he doesn't know why.
Me: Umm ... well, okay, I'll not mention the previous wedding then, I guess?
Caller: Okay, that would be great.
