No luck for the bride’s kin

 

Some days ago we were talking about wedding plans. We anticipated some risks, if you would allow us to put it that way.

The ceremony was set, as set was the banquet and the afterward party.

A lovely venue, live musicians, nice food wonderfully served, and a magnificent wedding cake. The bride’s father threw in about $400 million to secure the best celebration ever, and after having arrived late, and with no particular fantastic nor blinding attrezzo, the wedding carried on.

Nobody realized the disappointment for a significant portion of the guests, who actually left the wedding ceremony before it finished, leaving behind only the loyal members of the bride’s family. To few people for all the fanfare that had been set up afterwards at the banquet.

All through the party, the groom looked passive and distracted, ignoring even having upset the bride forgetting to kiss her before they left the church, and nobody remembered to take any camera for picturing the moment the newlyweds were supposed to cut the cake.

The following day, when considering how it went, the bride’s father even considered a yard sale for many of the presents his daughter got, and cancelling the honeymoon trip (no refund, of course).

One of the few family loyalists who remained until the very end, probably to comfort the sad bride, was her elder sister. Some time ago, in fact, she had a similar experience. Was not the sister’s wedding another disaster?

Microsoft Kin 1 and 2There must be something wrong in the bride’s kin… And we are not talking the bride’s dad, who we already have known for long
