I was at a sister's wedding a few years after graduation, and the priest invited the whole congregation up to take communion. Both the priest and the bride's dad were handing out the communion wafers. The priest noted that if you didn't wish to take communion, but wanted a blessing, you could come up and fold your arms instead of opening your hands.
So, I was sitting with another sister and her boyfriend. Both of them went up there, and she took communion, and he did not. Except, he was in the bride's dad's line, and the bride's dad didn't know what to do, so he just stood there looking puzzled for a minute, and then put his hand in the air and mumbled something.
A minor enough awkward moment, except that, when we were chatting after the service, the boyfriend told me that he thought that I was impolite for having remained seated.
