All the HVAC technicians were at the wedding.
My sister was marrying an HVAC technician.
He was a really nice guy and friends with everyone who knew him.
He often came to the house when they were dating, and everyone thought he was perfect for Jilly. When they were planning their wedding, Max wanted to invite everyone they knew. They were paying for the wedding, and weren’t worried about how much money they were spending, because his father owned the HVAC company he worked for. He said he could easily put more hours in at work, and get the extra money. Unfortunately, when the wedding rolled around, everyone who was invited showed, which meant there were no HVAC technicians available for service calls. Everyone wore their pagers at the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. At the wedding, there were eleven men with pagers hooked on their belts and hidden behind their jackets. Halfway through the wedding, everyone’s pagers started going off. All the HVAC technicians got up and left the church to check their pagers, including Jilly’s soon-to-be husband. When they came back, everyone was laughing, including the minister. My sister’s fiance’s father wanted to play a joke on Jilly and her fiance. He had everyone’s beeper go off at the same time, to see how Jilly reacted. Of course, he told the minister what was going to happen, so he didn’t have a heart attack. Father Martin was 86 years old, and our uncle. I thought mom was going to kill my brother-in-law’s father, but dad was laughing and held her back. Once we found out what was going on, everyone was laughing and ready to get back to the ceremony.
