First just let me say that Scott's Best Man, Joey, has a heart of gold and in no way is this story written to make fun of him - well maybe just a little but, hopefully, he'll forgive me. First of all he was over an hour late leaving for the wedding on Friday. This wouldn't have mattered one little bit, except that he was driving to Banff with the bride, groom and the groom's mother (that's me). Did I mention he forgot his wallet and we had to go back and get it? Fortunately we were only a block away from home at the time.
Apparently, and this is in Joey's own words, he only had one job to do and that was look after Tiffany's wedding ring. Upon checking his pockets in the morning he discovered that he was not in possession of "the only object for which he was responsible". Panic set in and he went to the bride and groom's room to announce he didn't have the ring. Once everyone realized he was not joking, they tore the room apart and found the ring box. Upon opening the box Joey discovered the ring was not in it! After more searching they found the ring on the floor by the night stand. It had been placed there the night before after several people in the room had been admiring it's beauty. Why no one returned it to the box will remain a mystery.
All was completely forgiven and forgotten during the photo session at Johnston Lake. Joey was the hero of the day for picking up a large supply of beer and placing it on ice. Let me tell you a beer never tasted so good. You'll notice the Best Man is holding two beers. I'm not sure whether he was doing someone a favour, or he was drinking both to work up the courage to say his speech at the reception. By the way, his speech was terrific and brought a tear to my eye.

Boy, you are quick!! Can't see the photo!
This story is hilarious! Sounds like a perfect Best Man. The photo of Scott & Tiffany is a classic. It reminds me of mine and Seth's wedding. Looking forward to more blogs, keep them coming.
