The first time I got married, it was a church affair. And as all good grooms, I wanted it to go off with a certain flair. Everything was ready that I could think of Now all that remained was to share and profess our love. The ceremony was beautiful and went off without a glitch But I never expected my "Best Man's" prankish hitch. It was at the reception when began my harassment I would not know the why, but everyone had a comment. "Don't worry", "It'll be okay", or "You won't need any" people would say And I didn't understand, why some looked at me in such a strange way. With a quizzical look on my face I was only perplexed I didn't know just what comment, next to expect. Finally, I asked one of my groomsmen being rather shy If he knew what people meant, and perhaps the reason why. "It's not you, you dummy, you just never knew... The lengths to which we'd go, to embarass you." I couldn't stand it anymore, these comments of chide I excused myself politely, and looked for a corner to hide. So off to a quiet place alone, my sore feet and I did go I took my shoes off to rub them and finally did I know. It seems that in my haste and hurry, my love to prove I never even looked, at the bottom of my shoes. There on the soles, which could only be seen in church when I knelt, Were two letters on each painted in white...left shoe 'HE'...right shoe...'LP' .

Thanks CayCay. It was embarassing then but only causes me to think fondly on that day. It was one of the few times I was really red in the face when I found out, but learned to smile about it later. I didn't think of it then, but I should have preserved those shoes.

Hi Dan, ha, you had a better wedding day and reception than I ever did. Even if it was embarrassing for you, know you can write about it. So tell me did you ever confront who ever did it? Love SKAT

Thanks Skat, for your words. I found out that all the groomsmen were in on it, especially my best man. As for confronting them, There were 5 of them and I really was a lover, not a fighter. (At least that night) lol
