A Most Unfortunate Wedding Reception

A Memorable Wedding

I heard about an amazing wedding yesterday. A truly amazing wedding - A wedding day to remember! but for all the wrong reasons!

As I heard it the wedding day celebration had been planned meticulously - date,church, reception, clothing, speeches, honeymoons etc. Dates set and money expended. Everything appears to be ticking along nicely, going swimmingly in fact.

The Wedding Day arrives and the celebrations proceeds along very nicely until Murphy's Law struck. Or should I say ambushed by the seventeen year brother of the groom who has been attacked by the demon drink. He obviously had no capacity for alcohol, & indeed little to no experience or wisdom in the ways of the imbiber!

When the turn of the speechmakers arrive just to lighten the mood, our young friend decided it would be fun to pelt them with food. It is then the turn of the new mother-in-law or indeed mother-of-the-bride to say her bit. She must have been a woman of either short stature or a possessor of a light voice because she finds it necessary to stand on the table to deliver her words.

She is actually standing up on the table speaking when the youthful one performs a flying rugby tackle to successfully drag her, for whatever reason,from the table and onto the floor.

Suddenly there is a lot of action - The ambulance is called, the mother-in-law is loaded into it and the groom's brother is comprehensively banished from the wedding.

Bit sticky however the wedding reception continues or should I say limps on until the banished one is found to be lurking behind the wedding reception pillars!!! Events then come to a total stand still.

This is a wedding that will be long remembered by the bride, groom, wedding party and guests .....but for all the wrong reasons.
