A sign from God
My wife's uncle and aunt decided to celebrate their ruby wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. Aww, how sweet, we all thought. So off trooped the whole family to the local church to witness the event.

Now I should mention that it's an open secret that the 'groom' has done his fair share of wild-oat-sowing during his married life. Rumour has it that he has at least one illegitimate child through such illicit liaisons. Naughty boy. But in spite of this, they're still a happy couple and I for one genuinely believe he's devoted to his wife. He is (or at least, was) just a randy sod.

Anyway, the ceremony, which was basically a re-run of their original wedding (same vicar and everything) got to the part about "...if anyone knows of any lawful impediment, may they speak now..." and the lights went out. Just for a second or so, then they came back on.

Cue lots of barely-suppressed chuckles and knowing looks, and a thoroughly red-faced groom.

God has great comic timing.
