The Priest Made a Lasting First Impression

Yesterday, after the wedding rehearsal, the groom’s parents had everyone over for some food. A big ole spread was set up: pizza, lasagna, salad, beer, etc. The groom’s mom worked for the priest that was going to preside over the wedding, and so it was in her kitchen that I had my first and last conversation with him…

“Nancy says that you’ve even had wedding rehearsals without the bride.”

“Yes, she was in the hospital having a D & C. I don’t even know if the marriage was valid she was so hopped up on meds from the operation the night before.”

And then John’s dad handed him a big cocktail with 3 cherries and he was off.

… wow!

  1. Robert,A D&C is not always an abortion. Yes, it is used as a common method of abortion early in a pregnancy; but women have D&C procedures for other reasons too, such as uterine polyps and endometrial hyperplasia, for example.

  2. I was just floored that the priest thought it worth mentioning.Well, yeah. “Thanks, Father, for sharing details of my personal medical conditions! Is the clergy not subject to HIPAA, then?”
