Friday afternoon we had a simple wedding in the Chapel. Bride was lovely. Groom was handsome. Best Man and Maid of Honor were happy. A small community of their family and friends surrounded them.
Storybook stuff until one of our elderly volunteers walked in the back of the Chapel and said in her outside voice, "Why is everyone dressed up for a wedding rehearsal?"
"Shhh," I gently hiss into my microphone, "we're celebrating a wedding."
"Oh, I thought it was a rehearsal," she shouted back.
I smiled, started to say something profound, like, "Do you Nancy take Jim to be your lawful husband?" When volunteer shouted back, "Sorry to bother you..."
Sometimes you wonder what people are thinking.
