1081 - GROOM

Most of the guests weRe seated and chatting quietly. The organ was quietly playing soothing music. The door of the cathedral burst open and the bride's cousin came in with her brood of 6 noisy children. She had to say sorry to the seated guests as she made her way to her nominated seats, all the while with her children making comments about the grand building or talking indiscreetly about the size and shapes of the women's hats. By the time she sat down she was so embarrassed that she felt like legging it out of there! But just then the bishop with his fancy robes and shepherd's crook approached and spoke kindly to her. "I did enjoy your entrance! It was so refreshing - like a new broom sweeping clean!" He then turned to the children and winked "If you can keep quiet until the wedding has finished, you can come into my room where I've got two big boxes of chocolates for you to pick from." On the way back to the front he paused by the groom to assure him that all was fine.
