Today's Christian, January/February 1997
My five-year-old grandnephew was obviously worried as he looked down the long aisle of the church where his aunt was to be married the following day. His grandmother had an idea. "I think I'll give a prize to the person who does the best job tomorrow," she told him.
We were all holding our breath the next day, but when it was time, the ringbearer performed without a hitch.
When his grandmother told him he had won the prize, he was both excited and relieved. "I was pretty sure I had it," he admitted, "until Aunt Dana came in wearing that white dress and the horn was blowing. Then I started thinking-she might win!"

My brother, Denny, and most of his friends were avowed bachelors and avid pranksters. When Denny's best friend, Tim, got engaged, my brother was best man.
The wedding had a country-western theme with the men wearing western suits, string-ties, and cowboy boots.
When the minister asked, "If anyone has just reason why these two should not be joined together, speak now or forever hold your peace," the groomsmen all spun around, whipped back their suit jackets, brandishing cap pistols and menacing stares.
No one spoke, but we've laughed ever since.

My husband, Aaron, known as a "crazy" youth pastor, promised me before we married that our life together would never be boring. His words rang true during our wedding ceremony when the pastor asked for the rings. On cue our pastor's Schnauzer, Snitzel, ran down the aisle with my ring dangling from a ribbon around his neck!

On our first anniversary, after a romantic candlelit dinner, my wife, Elizabeth, emerged from the kitchen with the finishing touch: the top of our wedding cake for dessert. At the first cut, the iced layer "squeaked" at us. For an entire year, we had saved a round chunk of frosting-covered Styrofoam in our freezer.
