Instigator of the Mayhem

beautiful wedding priest gave a lovely talk message was “marry someone you are proud of” Three couples broke up during the reception Socialized behavior went out the window Yelling, screaming, throwing of chairs Rings were thrown Accusations were shrieked Guests got more than they paid for Priest took another sip of red wine Having no idea that he was the instigator of the mayhem

Aw, this is a really good one, Caren. A FAVE for me. In all the weddings I performed I never saw anything like this happen...but it would have been so exciting! Would beat a lot of boring receptions!

It happened to my son-in-law with the girl who said she would kill herself if he did "not marry her" after he listened to the priest. His friend who was getting married still says "thanks for ruining our reception" because Ms. Threatening Woman did not go quietly. Even ran to HIS relatives expecting them to be on HER side. I am glad he listened to this priest. He and my daughter have been happily married for over 20 years and have 6 happy children.
