Many of us wondered why a certain
,rsdding party was about 10 minutes
,ote at one of the numerous Easter week
weddings The poor bridegroom was
unite nervous and his best man had
time consoling him, you know, when sud
denly the wedding march started and he
tnev she had not failed him. Just now
n leaked out what had caused the delay.
One of the bridesmaids, 1t appears, came
from out of town and so her dress was
made to measurements and had not even
been tried on. How was she to know
whether II fastened up the back or front,
