High Five

Sent June 15, 2007

 At a wedding ceremony I was performing, I raised my hand to give the final blessing. The bride misunderstood my gesture and surprised me with a high-five. Not wanting to exclude the groom, I offered him a high-five, too. Then I finally got my blessing in, amid the laughter of the guests.
