4. We had scheduled a shopping trip to look for bridesmaids dresses for my cousin that eveing

Two of my aunts, one the mother of the bride, the other not the Mama, both came along (besides me, another cousin was a bridesmaid).

We were at Penney's and fortunately the bridal section was not too far from the TV department (I hesitate to call it "electronics" in 1974).

Mother of the Bride had to keep coming back to the TVs to drag Aunt Not the Mama & me back to bridal. At one point Aunt Not the Mama said quite loudly, "This is the happiest day of my life and I'm not going to miss it!"

In the end we did not miss the speech and we found the dresses.
