ROLLING DOWN THE AISLE IN LAUGHTER.
submitted by Ursula Turner,
As lifestyle
editor of my local newspaper, I often receive calls about wedding announcements:
A young man called recently and asked how much it would
cost to place one. When I told him it was free, he exclaimed with surprise, "For
real?! That's the first thing about this wedding that hasn't cost me anything!"

To save money, I decided to help the florist by gathering
magnolia branches to decorate the church for my daughter's wedding. I'd collected some
limbs from friend's trees, but it wasn't enough. I found some beautiful magnolias on what
I thought was a public road and loaded my car's trunk and back seat with the branches.
A couple hours later, my husband Hugh called me saying the
police were looking for me for trespassing and destruction of property. He said I'd been
on the property of the state's largest manufacturing company--whose owner happened to
prize his trees--and that a security guard had taken down my license plate number. I
panicked and let out a yell.
After a good-natured lecture, my husband finally
confessed--the security guard was a friend of his. He realized who I was when he checked
the car registration. Even though I had gotten a little carried away, the security guard
let me off the hook. Embarrassed at my gaffe, I made sure I apologized and thanked him
after the wedding, which was beautifully resplendent with magnolias.

My son Eric never took his eyes off his bride-to-be Nikki
as she gracefully came down the aisle in her wedding dress. When she reached the platform
next to the baptismal pool they joined hands and faced one another.
Suddenly, they both began to shake slightly, as if they
were laughing. It kept getting worse. I'd thought they'd been overcome with emotion until
after the service when I learned some prankster had released 24 leaping goldfish into the
baptismal pool!
