“Congratulations and best wishes to the bridge and groom,” the best man toasted at the wedding. ”May you have a long and happy marriage!”
As was their custom, the best man smashed his champagne glass in the stone fireplace. One by one, the wedding guests made a wish for the happy couple and then smashed their glasses. The father of the groom shouted, ”May you have many children,” and followed suit.
After everyone left, the best man saw the champagne glass that was left.
”Oh no,” he said. “They will have 25 years of bad luck.”
For Friday Fictioneers. Thanks, Rochelle!

Oh no! I bet someone will be having a “doh” moment after the wedding. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the chuckle.

Only if they believe in bad luck of course! Nice scene.

That’s an interesting take. A bit like the witch, the spinning wheel and the needle.

I wonder if someone deliberately left their glass unbroken, a woman scorned maybe!

I see them going through their guest list now… which could also mean bad luck for one particular guest. I love the spin you gave that prompt.

25 years is an awful lot of bad luck. They should demand a do over. 🙂
