It would have been cool if the bride and groom vanished when they put their rings on. ---

> [@Ethilrist](#): > > Hopefully nobody bit any fingers off of the ringbearers. They hate that. They threw us out of the ballroom shortly after midnight. To announce the closing of the dancefloor, my elder daughter **elfbabe** ’s hub took the mike, and in his best Gollum voice (which is very, very good) said “Leave now and never come back!” So everyone moved to the lounge on the 23rd floor. Pics will follow when I get my act together. ---

Please tell us that the officiant, instead of “May I have the ring?”, said “What has it got in its pocketses?” Congratulations to the groom, and best wishes to the bride. Regards, Shodan ---
