    Sense of humor: A rarity, although they used to be quite common, sarcastic wit being one of the species of a sense of humor I dearly loved. Nowadays, when you have be so careful about saying ANYTHING, a sense of humor is not given the hilarity it deserves...

    Speech Police:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Dearly Beloved: Phase uttered by the person officiating at a wedding to add the pretense that everyone there is actually held in high esteem, even the third cousins twice removed that showed up drunk and without an invitation and have the bride gripping her bouquet tight enough to make her fingers white

    Ring Bearer: (Please not Bilbo, Frodo, or Sam!)

    Ring Bearer: Besides Frodo, this is usually a young boy, about the size of Frodo, who carries the rings for the bride and groom on a white cushion marching up the aisle after them and since one can’t trust such children with real rings, let alone the one that rules them all, they are often fake but the kids don’t know it and for those couples who postpone weddings until the very last minute this could be by the time they get around to it one of their own children.

    Flower girl: Cute little girl who litters the aisle with flower petals before the bride enters. Also the precocious little imp who gets into a pushing contest with the ring bearer during photos of the wedding
