When I was in unit, I was invited to the wedding of a specialist in my unit. Most of the senior specialists and officers were invited.
When I was there, in the middle of the table was a bowl of flower petals. I was hoping it was a bowl of crackers or maybe a saucer of peanuts...as it is custom to put some light snacks in the centre of the table before the actual dinner.
I was curious about the purpose of the flower petals so I asked LTA LLL. He told me that flower petals could be eaten and he proceeded to pop one in his mouth. The rest of us were quite startled by the idea and thus did not eat the flower petals. Fortunately.
The fanfare started and the couple walked in on the red carpet. Everyone rose from their seats and cheered...and started to shower the couple with flower petals...
I looked at LTA LLL and said, "Its a good thing we did not eat the flower petals. I wonder what would it be like to ask the waiter for another helping..."
