Foster-father stand-in
At the wedding rehearsal I take the place of one of the bride’s two fathers, and am complimented on my youthful yet fatherly appearance. I am now expert at handing the bride over to the groom and stepping neatly back, which will be no help at all to the real father, when he gets here.
When discussing with the groom which prayer of the faithful I’ll read at the actual ceremony, I suggest slipping in a Rock on, Motherfuckers! to, y’know, get their marriage off on the right footing. He promises to pay me €20 if I do. The temptation!

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
