Wedding Morning Surprise

Last night we were to host a couple who had been married earlier in the day. The groom's mother came over just before the wedding, dressed in her "Mother of the Groom" dress, to put a gift on the bed. She said the couple would be in about 10:30 or 11.

This morning, two other couples came down a bit early, and were already at the table, when I heard the bride and groom come down the stairs. I looked up to meet and greet them, and lo and behold, it was the mother of the groom, still in her wedding finery. I said "are you checking up on the kids? and she said, no, they wanted to party all night so she and her husband stayed here and were joining us for breakfast. There he was in his Tux, minus the jacket and tie! There was a lot of fun conversation around the table about the wedding and the "surprise".
