To Kiss a Bride
Last night, we had a wedding for one of Andy’s friends. Hopefully, this is the last summer we have a bunch of weddings. I think it will be because most of our friends are married. The thing that I think will make this wedding memorable is the reception. If you’ve ever been to a wedding, the tradition is to clink the glasses to make the bride and groom kiss. This sound irritates me to no end which is why for my wedding, we had people sing a song with love in. It gives you more chances to eat, if you have a shy crowd. Well, this wedding went one step further. In order to have the bride and groom kiss, you had to swallow a goldfish.
I guess it all depends on the crowd, because this did not stop this crowd. Two guys were sitting with each had 3 and the grooms father had four. But about half way through dinner, the fish disappeared. The reception hall pulled the fish–people were supposedly getting sick from either watching them swallow the fish or the people actually swallowing the fish. But very interesting concept. I wonder if this would only happen in Green Bay.
