Uncle Augie raised his champagne glass and beamed at the bride. “To Felicity and her new husband…. may your marriage bring endless joy!”

The bride and groom looked bemused. “Uncle Augie, I’m Felicia. Felicity’s the caterer.”

Augie, now terribly confused, squinted at the buffet table, then back at the bride. “Well,” he said, undeterred, “to the happy couple, and to our caterer, whoever you are, for the delectable shrimp!”

Everyone toasted the shrimp. Felicity, smiling, did a curtsy.
