John - A sad but interesting story ... We had a similar situation, but the brides father was struck before getting to the reception hall ... the party went on amid reports that he was 'resting comfortably' ... it was only later that we heard he had passed sometime during the reception ...
Another time we got to the reception hall only to find out the wedding was cancelled ... The photographer (whom we knew quite well) told us that at the church, after the father handed the bride off to the groom, the groom said something in her ear ... she turned and stormed out of the church, got into one of the limos, and it drove off ... never did find out what was said ... but yes, we did get paid ...
As for your sick humor - sick, but humorous
