This is just about the best wedding story I’ve heard, and its true because I know both the parties involved. I may not have got the exact phrases correct but the gist of it is right.

i A friend’s mother was at the brides home on the morning of a wedding whilst everyone was getting ready and asked the bride’s mother was there was anything she could do to help? To which the answer came – ‘you could ice the wedding cake’. Our heroine laughed heartily thinking it to be a jokey comment, only to be asked ‘why are you laughing? will you ice it or not?’.   GULP!

ii Same friend’s father-in-law was in a similar situation at a different wedding (at least I hope it was a different wedding or something was really wrong!!) He asked the same sort of question about 20mins before they were all due to go to church, only to be told ‘well, you could mow the lawn actually’.

Moral of the story – just sit and read the paper until its time to go….
