I was asked to perform a wedding today, 4th of July, 12 noon at a park.
12noon at the park, all is sunny and hot, many things are set up, the groom has arrived, the bride leaves to get her dress on.
We stand around and wait. The groom is asked if she has reached Ohio (out of state) yet -- many times.
The park ranger comes around to announce that storms are coming through, take shelter.
1PM, the bride returns, all in white, with bridesmaids, as the rain starts.
Skip the beautiful gazebo, all decorated, and instead we huddled behind the fireplace in the shelter, because the driving, horizontal rain didn't get us quite so wet there.
I skipped at least half of the service, but did pronounce them husband and wife. Then they tried to light to soaked unity candles....
Anyone want to get married? I've still got half a wedding service left, unused.
