A Bunch of Butterflies
Priests don’t like confetti, it makes a mess.
The bride and groom rarely like rice, because it hurts. So the latest thing at weddings, at least in America, is butterflies.
What could be nicer than having a bunch of butterflies released into the air around the marriage couple?
