The Most Memorable Ring Bearer Ever

We went to a beautiful, traditional wedding at Furman's chapel on Saturday evening. Furman's chapel was constructed pretty much for this organ (I don't really remember the story) so it has awesome acoustics. About halfway through the service, we hear this amazingly loud wretching coming from the front. The ringbearer was standing on the front steps and wholeheartedly puked twice all over the place. The bride's mother as well as a few other family members jumped up and ran to usher him out of the chapel. The minister never skipped a beat and thankfully we were headed into a prayer- the singing of the Lord's Prayer. During the prayer (I heard- my eyes were closed so I don't know), the groomsmen hunted down a rug and threw it over the spillage. Best wedding moment ever.

Gross. So glad that didn't happen at my FU wedding. Yet another reason I didn't have kids in the wedding! :) Except Kiran, of course. I would have had her.

too funny! those people will be telling their wedding story for the next fifty years, and that poor kid will NEVER live it down. I bet the story is retold at his own wedding ("last time chip was at the alter...")

your post reminds me how unfortunate it is that after all the money and all the publicity and all the fundraising, that the organ doesn't sound better in there. and all the church music majors still do their organ recitals downtown at first baptist. [sigh.]

glad it was a fun wedding though!
