Yuri, forgive me, but that story is too funny. I'm sure it wasn't too funny for you and your new wife at the time, but to hear you tell it now...
I had a similarly funny story on my wedding day. I had a new "friend" volunteer to be a soloist at my wedding ceremony, and although I hadn't heard her sing in public, I trusted that she was pretty good as I knew she had sang in some bar bands, etc. But anyway, I had chosen Bridge Over Troubled Water for her to sing...what a mistake. The opening words are "When you're weary...", and she was singing it really really low, and really really slow, and I will say, I never thought the song would end. It is one of the reasons I never watch the video tape of my wedding. Funny now, but not too funny then.
