Okay....I have a beautiful wedding story about a SIL and his wonderful MIL........
When my DD told us the date of the wedding, I started collecting. I went to every hardware store I could think of and asked for the old blank keys they had. I carried them to the reception and handed them out to all the men and young boys until I ran out. There were a lot of 'em. When the band took their 2nd break, my nephew jumped up on the stage and announced that since bride was now married, he thought everyone who still had a key to her condo should come forward and just drop it in the bucket on the stage. And they came...old men, young men, and little boys,...and came...and came. Everyone laughed and clapped...
And then DD's maid of honor jumped on stage and said she thought that there must be lots of girls who still had groom's apt. keys so they should come forward also. There was a long pause, no one stepped up, and just as SIL turned and mouthed to his parents...."See, I was a good boy!"...one of the waiters that we'd hired to dress for the occasion waddled out from behind the bandstand and in a feebly, high pitched voice screeched, "Here, take your old key!" and that's when the place went crazy!
Was my second "welcome to our crazy family" of the evening.......
