Weddings are a time for joy, laughter, reunions and celebrations. Family,
friends, co-workers and acquaintances come together to celebrate a union of two people. Stories are told about the bride and
groom, the parents and others in the wedding party. Some of those stories are hilarious.
I recall being The Best Man at a friend's wedding. There was a heating grill,
at the front of the church and I began to perspire. I had the Groom's ring, in my pocket and all I could envision was
dropping the ring into the grill. My hand was shaking as I took the ring, from my pocket and passed it to the minister. He
had it and he was responsible and I could relax..have you been there?

Pickled
One
of my most memorable memories was from my oldest brother's wedding. This was back, when you brought your own food and
music was usually by an accordion player. The reception was held at a lodge which was a two story building. You ate upstairs
and you danced downstairs. My brother Sam and I were not old enough to drink and the only other beverage was water. While
everyone was downstairs, we ate what we could and drank all the juice from the pickle bottles. Well there was lots of pickles
and plenty of juice. Later, when they were clearing up to go home, someone noticed that there was no juice in the pickles.
When they found out it was Sam and I, we were pickled.
I guess we thought that pickle juice was alcoholic as we often heard the term.."so and so is pickled."
(Much too much to drink)
A little too hot
I had arranged to stay at a motel on our wedding night and had gone there, that afternoon, to check out the room.
It was summer and the temperature outside was around 80 degrees. I wanted to make sure the room was cool, so I turned
on the air conditioning and knew that it would be just right. The wedding and reception was perfect. We drove to the motel,
making sure that we wern't be followed, and when we opened the door it was a scorcher. In my anticipation, I had turned
up the heat and not the air conditioner. Yes..It was a little too hot!
