Last week I said that I would hunt around for a minister that had a funny tale to tell and so I found Cam McMillan, who ministers at Brussels United Church. He has been preaching for some 32 years and recalls the second wedding that he did. He was using the regular service book that has the blanks where the names are to be spoken and when it came time to use the names Cam couldn't remember the groom's name. He remembers calling him the first name that came to mind and continued with the service. He also recalls the funny look the bride and groom gave him. When they went over to the register Cam then saw the groom's name and was able to introduce the couple by their name. He said he learned a valuable lesson that day and now makes sure that he carries a slip of paper with the wedding couple's name on it.
