Funny story about weddings.....
About 4 years ago, at the shower for my cousin's bride to be, my Aunt Betty and her best friend thought it would be funny to put on a skit for the guests. The skit mockingly told the story of how my cousin and his fiance chose a patriotic theme for their wedding, chosing red dresses for the bridesmaids and blue tuxes for the groomsmen. Most of the guests thought it pretty funny, until my other cousin, who announced her engagement 20 minutes later, said she was going to have a patriotic theme herself (she was born on July 5th, they got engaged on memorial day... blah blah). Wasn't it funny that Aunty Betty predicted that? She ignorged the mocking tone amazingly well.
Her ring, a diamond with two rubies and two sapphires, followed the theme.
