Worst Wedding You've Ever Attended

[BraveMaroon]

We went to a wedding a few weekends ago, and the Priest gave the homily, talking about the wedding at which Jesus turned wine into water. He then went on to talk about how awful it would be to attend a wedding where there was no wine, and that of course Jesus couldn't let the honored guests at a wedding drink water.

And this went on for a few minutes while those of us in the know got increasingly more amused/uncomfortable because we knew that the bride wasn't having alcohol at the reception.

I don't actually remember the point of the homily, but I was glad that the Priest didn't make the reception.

Cute couple, sweet luncheon. But we all felt bad that her officiant hadn't been clued in.

Didn't he change water into wine?

Yes because the water back then was too dirty to drink. That's why the iced chai lattes were winey.

Yup. One could argue that the Latter Day Saints ban on Alcohol (they take sacrament with bread and water) was only a good idea because they only significantly existed in *very* rural areas with clean water supply up until the beginning of the 20th century.

Indeed he did. Clearly, I didn't pay enough attention to the homily, or my proofreading.

Still, it was aaawkward.
