I'm going to be a little discreet about the details, but what you are about to read is true. No need to Snopes this stuff.
For everyone who has been thinking lately about fraudulent identities
and hurtful behavior online, here's a reminder that live-and-in-person
behavior sometimes leaves such online misdemeanors in the dust. Case in
point: I recently heard a few priests
swapping wedding horror stories.
One happened to the priest who was telling the story:
A wedding scheduled for late on a Saturday afternoon was postponed, or
possibly canceled, when a groom announced to his bride at 2 PM that
day that he couldn't get married after all. The reason? His girlfriend
didn't want him too. Incredibly, the bride wanted to negotiate about
possibly rescheduling.
One happened in the 1950s to a priest of the storyteller's acquaintance:
An exhortation to "speak now or forever hold your peace," or words to
that effect, was answered when the groom's pre-existing wife and
children came up the aisle.
I didn't hear the provenance of the third story:
The same line of the
ceremony referenced above resulted in four women raising their hands.
Kind of puts the deceptions of online strangers in perspective, doesn't it?
Incidentally, when I tell John that I don't remember him telling me
something, he sometimes jokes, "Must have been my other wife." Good
thing I don't believe him! ;)

OMG! My John says that too! "Must have been my other wife" or "my girlfriend". I sometimes say "my other husband" too. LOL
I use to say that to Joe when he would say, "I told you!" I'd just say, "Must have been your other girlfriend!" Funny stories about the priests. Wow.
