Quoted from Pastoral Life magazine: My pastor and I were talking about the advisability of writing down the names of the bride and groom and keeping them in the book. I told him about the visiting priest who proudly declined to do this and then called the groom by another name. "You think that's bad?" my pastor commented, "I began a ceremony and thought: Is his name James or John? I knew I would have to ask him. So I said, 'Is your name James or John?'" "James," the groom said. The bride nudged him and said, "Your name is John."
