eddings By Taleshia Cursed?

ome time ago Baron Von Lodge was the head of a small country near Switzerland known as Lilliland.

Everyone in Lilliland looked forward to a wedding, especially the ones that were done up right. Taleshia, from Switzerland, opened up a small shop in Lilliland to organize weddings.

She was open for business for only a short while when her reputation began turning sour. Her first six weddings met with less than success.

The first wedding was very beautiful but the bride ran off with the best man before the ceremony. The second marriage had the priest cancel his vows and ran off with one of the flower girls.

The bride at the next wedding ran off with her future father-in-law. The next wedding was halted in the middle of the ceremony when it was discovered that both the bride and groom were orphans from the same orphanage and that they were really brother and sister.

The one marriage that was a success was when the groom was confined to a wheel chair because of a skiing accident. The bride kept both hands on the wheel chair handles during the entire service.

Taleshia was about to pack it all up and move back to Switzerland. She had a chance meeting with Professor Hamblin, the Baron’s chief advisor. She asked him whether he had any suggestions about the wedding plans that kept going astray.

The Professor said, “Perhaps you were trying too hard to make everything perfect. The things that happened were out of your control. Instead of letting the champagne flow freely during the entire day, why not just have one glass of champagne to toast the bride and groom. That may help a little to keep the lid on things. Keep the event somewhat smaller and more structured rather than an open house type of presentation.

“Also, please remind the bride to remind her staff that it is the bride and groom’s day and they are the center of attention all the time. Remind the staff that they are there to serve at the event and not to party with everyone.”

The Professor concluded that it was not Taleshia’s job to guarantee that the bride and groom would like happily ever after as part of the wedding plans. “We can only hope for the best, of course.”

Taleshia agreed to give it another try while keeping the Professor’s words in mind.
