Me: "Hey! Did I tell you my sister and Tarek got married?"
Dufort: "No. Your mom told me they got married. Mary told me they got married. YOU did not tell me they got married."
Me: "Oy! Sorry. Bad friend award goes to me. My sister got married! Elvis performed the ceremony, but he wasn't the actual minister who could sign the marriage certificate."
Dufort: "That is one of the strangest sentences ever uttered."
:Dufort pauses to think for a moment:
Dufort: "I'd rather have Elvis Costello perform the ceremony."
Me: "ME TOO!! But the REAL Elvis Costello, not an impersonator."
Dufort: "Exactly!"
Me: "I'm going to do it. Someday, my future wife and I will be married by Elvis Costello."
Dufort: "You're stealing my idea!"
Me: "No! You can't have her."
Dufort: "No, the Elvis Costello part."
Me: "Oh! OK. Well, we could just do a double-ceremony."
Dufort: "Sure. Sounds great. I just need to find a woman to marry me for the 3rd time..." (with just a hint of sarcasm.) "I found the 1st and 2nd. Shouldn't be too hard to find a 3rd." (Still a bit sarcastic.)
Me: "It's a done deal, D. We're having a double ceremony, performed by Elvis Costello."
Now we just have to hope this idea flies with our future brides.
xo,
Ms. V
