Never
a dull moment in this office. Tired of being stood up for weddings, I
called to confirm one scheduled for a Saturday (since the bride's friend booked it about 6 months ago and I hadn't heard anything since). I called the friend of the bride
who "coordinated" the day/time with me - who "had to call me back
because she thought the bride had called and they changed the date?"
Three hours later, the friend calls back with this nugget ...
"OK, we don't think his Probation Officer is going to let him out of
his 28 day program. He got locked up again and instead of coming
straight home, they put him in a 28 day program. She's trying to get
him released for a day so we can do this, but now she's thinking maybe <and she suggests a date within that 28 day period>? Maybe the PO will let him out that day, to get
married."
Well, (a) he sounds like a catch (which I clearly
kept to myself) and (b) it was this moment I chose to suggest, perhaps,
they just pick a day after the 28 day program was completed ... so he
didn't have to return to the program on his wedding night ...
Another in a long line of reasons I'm still single ... "catches" like this dude are apparently all already engaged ...
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.
