On the day of the wedding, Mary was getting dressed, surrounded by all her family, and she suddenly realised she had forgotten to get any shoes. Then her sister remembered that she had a pair of white shoes from her wedding so she lent them to Mary for the day. Unfortunately they were a bit too small and by the time the festivities were over Mary’s feet were in agony. When she and Frederik, the groom, withdrew to their room the only thing she could think of was getting her shoes off. Followed by more grunting and straining and at last Frederik said. ’My God. That was even tighter.’
