Re: The worst wedding you've ever been to...

Not a wedding, but this reminds me of my granddad's funeral. I still don't know how I feel about it, but the priest basically paused the funeral for twenty minutes to give an incredibly long, rambling sermon that no one understood because ... I think it was basically an extremely overwrought baking metaphor for life, but he rambled so much and meandered around the point and kept taking odd pauses to try and remember where he was, and basically nobody had the first clue what the hell he was going on about. "The yeast is in the dough!" And the funeral had been really emotional, I'd been struggling badly through it, but then this happened and, on the one hand, I wasn't fighting not to cry anymore, but on the other hand I couldn't help but feel my granddad was staring in exasperation at the man from his coffin.

It was like, the priest did such a bafflingly bad job that it accidentally helped the emotional tension and let everyone calm down? IDK.

At my grandmother's funeral, some guy who was there as the partner of a distant relative-by-marriage was introducing himself to my father and brother and then walked over to where I was standing a few feet away and said "You must be [brother]'s wife!"

I was caught between

1) Eew
2) WTF. Why would you just assume that's the relationship here? and
3) How dare you! I'm my grandmother's eldest grandchild and you think I'm an in-law?

But just said "Uh, I'm his sister" (and then got annoyed at myself for not having said "He's my brother").

I still don't know why he assumed that, or why he acted on that assumption instead of just asking how I knew the deceased. No one had mentioned anything about my brother being married or my father having a daughter-in-law. Neither my brother nor I were married, so we weren't wearing wedding rings. We're not too far apart in age but so are most siblings. We weren't acting like we were a couple. We were just two opposite-sex people of similar apparent age standing within 10 feet of each other.
