My husband is the
youngest of 6 siblings and the last to be married, so we had
many people trying to prank us. The day of the wedding he
was visiting at the hotel, and had his brothers-in-law drive
him to our place to get ready. He was able to keep an eye
on everyone and keep his keys in his own possession, but
just as the guys were leaving, one brother-in-law asked to
use the bathroom. No harm in that, right? Especially if I'm
in the house. Wrong!
The next morning at
the post-wedding brunch at a local restaurant, that
brother-in-law was speaking to a group at a a neighbouring
table. I thought that he was trying to get them to move so
that our whole group could sit near each other. The next
thing I knew, a nice-looking, well-groomed, pressed-khakis
young man walked up to the table and said, "Now that
you're married Heather, I won't be needing this at my house
anymore." In one dramatic move, he produced my own red silk
nightgown, (stolen from my own bathroom) passed it over the
table to me, it grazed my grandmother's head for the
briefest second as he did so, and everyone in the group saw
exactly what he handed me.
This was actually
pretty funny, and could have been a lot worse, so all is
forgiven. The "mysterious stranger" came back to shake our
hands and congratulate us, and said that he plans to
incorporate that trick into a wedding he will be in this
summer. I hope that bride has a sense of humour too.
Love your site,
