Head lines; Americans Come to Canada for Wedding Officated by a Dummie

It was such a great wedding, I was thinking it was going to be too much of a stretch for me...to do it with a vent figure and all...but it went VERY well. Christine, the bride, lost two husbands to cancer and she wanted a "light hearted" wedding ceremony. Both her and David, the groom, have a great sense of humor so I reluctantly agreed to comply with their wishes. And what a marvelous and extraordinary wedding it was ...and oh sooo much fun!
Butch and I stood in our tuxedo's (did you see a photo?) it was on the front page of the Vancouver Sun, Wednesday Sept 16, and that is what initiated the media stir... the Globe and Mail called as well as the New York times. It was on the news too (City TV, CBC and Global) I wore 3 mics so that every one could film it. Big smile. We will soon have it on youtube.
The wedding began with me extending a warm welcome to the guests (most had traveled from the States) and then prepare them for a "unique and joyful" wedding. Including a chat about how Jesus did his first miracle at a wedding and that wine represents "joy" and that Jesus was today looking down with great joy at the wedding of David and Christine...and perhaps he may even be laughing along with us.
 Then turning to Butch I inquired "I believe you were in charge of arranging the music?" Butch pulls out a card from his vest pocket and the brides maid (Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson, a comedian herself) opened it and held it to the mic, the card plays the wedding march and in came the bride on the arm of a friend...the ceremony continued. Butch banters a little and then when they say "I do" he says "I couldn't hear you" and he asks the groom repeats it louder, and then for the bride, because she had declined for 5 years to marry David, Butch had her say"I do" five times! It was priceless. In conclusion Butch had some interactive audience banter and then asked every one present to say "they do"!! People were shouting and laughing and it was great.
Next came the exchanging of the rings and the ring bearer, Butch, pulls out a ring, a gaudy 5" plastic diamond and announced that he took the ring the bride had entrusted to him to a local  Pawn shop and "exchanged" it for the "bigger rock". Little chuckles. Then after a struggle and search of his many pockets we find the right ring. Next comes a 'bright red flashing ring"...the grooms ring for the bride and again we have a few laughs and then Butch finds the authentic ring. The exchange was sweet and more serious but immediately followed by more kibitzing. Then the more serious vows, Butch read I Corinthians 13, the verses on love, and I prayed a very touching serious prayer. In closing I introduced the newly married couple and said "what God has joined together let no man divide". And the brides maid said "or dummy" There was also a light hearted response when I said "It gives me great pleasure to introduce Dr David Balsger and Dr Christine strong, husband and wife, under the autority of God, and the Province of British Columbia, Canada...Butch added "and the International Association of Marriage by Dummies". Concluding with hilarious laughter, whistles, cheers and lots and lots of bubbles. Big smile. It was quite the celebration!
