This a story of my mother and father's wedding, and it tells you exactly how much of a klutz my father is.

It was the big day. My mother had her wedding dress in the back of the car, my father was in his suit and tie. They left their house early because they wanted to get their car washed before the wedding. Of course they wouldn't want to drive up in a messy vehicle!

My mom and dad went to a car wash before the wedding was to start, planning on finishing quickly and then heading to the wedding. But it didn't exactly work out that way, because someone had apparently left the hose on when they had washed their own car.

My father placed his money in the slot, and the “water wand” shot from it's holder and straight into the air. My father, being the man he is, tried to catch it before it drenched my mother. Unfortunately...It hit him square in the face. In his lip, to be exact.

He ended up having to go to the doctor to get his lip stitched up right before the wedding, and every wedding picture of my mom and dad shows him with his usual goofy smile and a busted, bruised lip. If you look really close, you can even see the blood on his tie.

Thanks for giving me the chance to tell one of the many funny stories that seem to gravitate towards my parents. (You should hear how my father proposed!!)
