At a Wedding
Bob and his mother are at his sister's wedding. His mother seems worried and keeps asking him questions.
Bob: Isn't this wonderful, Mom? Ann is getting married today.
Mom: Yes, yes. It is.
Bob: Aren't you excited?
Mom: Of course. I'm also feeling anxious. What if something goes wrong?
Bob: What could go wrong?
Mom: Well, where is the minister?
Bob: He's standing by the door talking to Uncle Pete.
Mom: Ok. Well, what about, Dan, the groom? Where is he hiding?
Bob: Remember, he is waiting in the room next door. He will come in when the music starts.
Mom: Fine. Maybe I'm just worrying too much. But I just want today to be perfect for your sister.
Bob: It will be. Relax. Look, everyone is here. Aunt Sara and Uncle Mike are talking to John and Pam over there. Sally and Louise are standing in the corner laughing about something. Even Grandpa Mike is enjoying himself. See? He is sitting in the front row smiling.
Mom: I suppose you're right.
Bob: I am. Just relax. And just think, after this, we will get to go to the reception and everyone will be able to have fun.
Mom: Oh! The reception. Oh dear. I should have called the caterer (person bringing food) and checked to be sure they had everything they needed.
Bob: I'm sure they are ok. They are professionals. They do this all the time.
Mom: But what if the ovens aren't working and the food gets cold?
Bob: They are bringing lots of food warmers to keep the food hot, remember?
Mom: Oh, right. And what about the drinks? What if the bartender (person who makes drinks) is having trouble finding the reception?
Bob: He works at the hotel where we are having the reception. I'm sure he knows how to get there.
Mom: And the dance floor. What if it is too small?
Bob: People will manage. Not everyone dances at the same time.
Mom: What if nobody dances?
Bob: People always dance at weddings, Mom.
Mom: I guess you're right. Maybe I should just relax.
Bob: Yes. Relax and enjoy the day. Your only daughter is getting married. This is exciting.
Mom: I know. But I'm going to miss her.
Bob: She's not going anywhere. She and Dave are staying in town. They'll be living ten minutes from you.
Mom: But if she's married, I don't want to bother her. I won't call her as much as I do now.
Bob: Mom, you aren't bothering her when you call. She loves talking to you.
Mom: Are you sure?
Bob: Yes, I'm sure. She told me this morning how much she loves you and how happy she is to be living close to you.
Mom: Really?
Bob: Yes.
Mom: Well, that makes me very happy to hear.
Bob: It should. Not all daughters enjoy being with their mothers.
Mom: This is true. Oh! The music is starting. That must mean that it's time for the wedding to start.
Bob: It does. Look, here comes Ann now. She looks beautiful!
Mom: Yes, she does!
