You Can't Make This Up... a New Series

Having been in this business for over 20 years one might think that we have seen it all. While its true we have seen our fair share of interesting things, it would be an exaggeration to say we have seen it all. Every now and then things happen that make even us pause in disbelief.  So in this series I will share such  stories. Some are funny, others are strange. Some may even be sad. But the one thing they have in common is that... you can't make this stuff up.
...
     At a recent wedding ceremony the parents, the bridal party and the groom are all lined up and ready to go. As the music plays the groom, best man, and minister make their way down the aisle, followed by each of the members of the bridal party.  The flower girl makes her entrance and throws the rose petals.  The DJ gets the go ahead from the matre'd  to play the song for the bride and begins Canon in D.  The officiant instruct everyone to rise.  Everyone's attention is focused towards the entrance. One minute goes by yet no bride appears.
They wait... and wait...and still no bride.  The song continues to play and ends. The DJ starts it again. Now keep in mind Canon in D  is a seven minute long song. 
     Some people start to sit.  Most guests have a puzzled look on their face... what happened to the Bride?
ready for this??

The bride is on her cell phone.  She's indifferent to the fact that at this very moment she should be walking down the aisle to meet her future husband. Her response...
"Let him wait!".

Wow!   Who could she be talking to?  Anyone who is important to her should be at the wedding...perhaps she had a change of heart. Who knows?  Eventually after about 10 minutes of keeping everyone waiting she walked down the aisle.

So what do you think??
