OVER THE YEARS WE'VE HAD OVER 30 COUPLES, WHO MET, CANOODLED, HOOKED UP AND MARRIED WHILE WORKING TOGETHER AT OUR RESTAURANT. As
As long as there's people on the job, there's gonna be canoodlin and attemted cannodlin on the job. It's tough enough getting staff to do their sidework, now you gotta be a sexual lifeguard too.
We've had 5 marriages in our dining room and one in the dancing room.
The first marriage was a total adlib for a lovey dovey couple sitting at our bar.
We moved the table in front of the dazzling stain glass window from the Red Springs baptist church, moved the hostess stand over for a pulpet, flanked it with two areca palms, carpeted the area with a wall oriental, placed candles all around and chilled a bottle of champagne.
Then we marched the tres' handsome couple through a grinning gauntlet of servers, several gaping customers and a kazoo band of hostesses. There, waiting at the pulpet with a Johnny Cash outfit and voice was Ken Grimsley, a regular customer who read a semi-solemn ceremony written by him and the owner with a bit Gibran, Rod McKuen mixed into the traditional Dearly beloveds.
Another memorable ceremony featured a traveling candy salesman.
We decorated the altar with hundreds of baby snickers, heath bars, and hersheys. The centerpiece was a huge silver bowl brimming with M&Ms, which were later thrown as rice when the happy couple made their glorious exit.
Viva romance.
