Scene from a weekend

Verdant blades of grass swayed in the wind as we sat around tables, sheltered under a tent from the searing sun, honoring the laborers by drinking beer and throwing horseshoes.
“Whose wedding are these [beer coozie] favors from?” I asked of the favors shrouded in a Ziplock bag.
“Oh, they’re from Mary and Ted’s wedding a couple months ago,” said a portly grandmother, bespectacled and chiding.
“We were sorry we couldn’t make it,” my sister said. “Did you have a good time? Didn’t Peggy make the wedding dress?”
“It was really nice, we had a really good time,” Grandma said. “I have my camera, I’ll have to show you pictures. The dress was short, two pieces. The top was kind of like a vest with a black shirt underneath. It was really pretty!”
“It was camouflage,” my sister explained.
“Oh,” I said.
“And so was the tux!” Grandma said.
Out came the Kodak. I silently flipped through the photos, because my mother told me if I couldn’t say anything nice, I shouldn’t say anything at all. For once I managed to follow that small rule of decorum.
“And there’s the sign they had hanging as we entered the wedding,” Grandma said. “One one said it ‘Get ‘Er Done!’ and as we left we saw it said, ‘Got ‘Er Done!”

Um…I had high hopes that this would turn into the wedding between two very dedicated service people…I was hoping it would have been appropriate….but the “get ‘er/got ‘er done” signs are only too clear.
No. Not appropriate.
Black Bar Wielded in a Massive DON’T!
