Weddings Crack Me Up!
Weddings can be beautiful, heartfelt, emotional, romantic events. They can bring tears to your eyes and a song to your heart as you watch a couple, deeply in love, pledge their lives to each other.
Weddings can also be hysterically funny! 
If you don't believe me, take a look at all of the comedy movies with a plot dealing with a wedding that have been hits throughout the years. "The Wedding Crashers" and "Monster In-Law" were recent wedding comedies, not to mention "The Wedding Singer," "The Wedding Date," and "The In-laws" from a few years ago, along with "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." And don't forget "Four Weddings and a Funeral." The list goes on and on.
I have been to quite a few weddings in my lifetime, and at almost all of them something funny happens and there is laughter shared more than a few times during the ceremony (which I think is actually pretty wonderful). Whether it's a bridesmaid tripping as she comes down the aisle (not very funny, but hard not to laugh!) or the flower girl forgetting to drop her rose petals because she's too busy picking her nose, or the minister flubbing the groom's name, you can usually find something funny to write about a wedding.
A recent wedding I attended took place in a beautiful mansion with a long, spiral staircase which would deposit the bride right in front of the family and friends gathered for the ceremony. (I worried a bit about that long staircase, hoping she wouldn't trip!) The mothers of the groom and bride were seated, the minister walked out with the groom and his children, and everyone was smiling and very excited about the union about to take place, a second marriage for both, (they were long-lost high school sweethearts who found each other again after 30 years).
I saw the minister lean over to ask the groom's son a question, after which the minister, groom, and son all started whispering and laughing nervously. A few furtive glances toward the mother of the groom led to the son of the groom casually stepping over to ask his grandmother something. She gasped and flew out of her seat, flying up the staircase the bride was supposed to be walking down right about then, as the minister, groom, and his kids smiled and tried to act like nothing was going wrong, while the guests all wondered what the heck was going on.
The mother of the groom finally reappeared a few minutes later, racing back down the sprial staircase (without tripping) and placing something in her grandson's hand. The wedding party breathed a sigh of relief as the minister signaled the processional music to begin, and the bridesmaids started down the staircase. Finally the bride appeared, glowing and beautiful, gliding down the stairs (also not tripping), laughing at her groom when he met her at the bottom of the staircase and brought her to the center of the room to stand before the minister. They proceeded with the ceremony, which was lovely, and included a few more giggles from the bridal party when the minister asked for the rings.
It turns out that the reason for the delay at the start of the ceremony was due to the fact that when the minister asked the groom's son at the start of the wedding whether he had the rings, as planned, he patted his pockets and said no, to which the groom and minister responded by laughing, thinking he was just messing with them. As it turned out, he was not joking, he did not have the rings. Evidently the mother of the groom had the rings for safe-keeping, and had forgotten to pass them on to her grandson. She ran upstairs and retrieved them, and all was well. But I'm sure it's something they will all remember fondly, with much laughter, when they think back to this particular wedding day, which just makes it all the more special. Who wants a perfect wedding with no hitches anyway! Talk about boring!
So next time you go to a wedding, take along a small notebook and pen -- you might just get something good for your next comedy story!

Here are some responses from my last newsletter about "Pets are Funny!"
From billwilcox
SophY,
Have ya ever noticed how people resemble their pets. I just wondered which one of your animals do you look most like? 
Well Bill, the better question to ask would be which one do you think I look more like! I suppose it would be Kayla, since we are both blondes, but my hair is a lot longer than hers. And I have more cleavage, of course!
    
From RegalPen 
Yours was a very delightful story. It's nice to know that good nieghbors such as your still exist in this world.
Yes, they were wonderful neighbors and we were sorry to lose them when we moved away. But we moved to a new town and fortunately have wonderful neighbors here too!
From Katya the Poet 
Great boat/cat story!
Glad you enjoyed it!
From April Sunday
Incredible, kind neighbors indeed! Very funny the cat made it to the river. I heard of one sleeping under the hood of a car. A defunct none-used car. Aren't they sneaky? Isn't it a Golden Retriever since Labs are black? Both so lovable. They wash the kids faces and even do the dishses. Amazing.
It's hysterical that the cat made it to the river, AND got a boat ride, something we never got to do in the eight years we lived there! As for Labs, pure-bred Labradors come in 3 colors: black, chocolate, and yellow. Pure-bred Golden Retrievers have longer hair and are variations of light to red gold. And yes, whatever their color, they ARE amazing!
That's all for now, until next time, LAUGH ON! |
