My older sister surprised us with her wedding announcement. When she asked me to be in the ceremony, I hesitated. "Adelle, you know my coaching responsibilities go into October. The date you picked is the same day we play a conference game. My football team won't be able to get along without me." But I reluctantly agreed.

Returning home from the out-of-town wedding, I bought a newspaper at the airport to check my team's score. They won 55-0.

A few days later at practice, I was greeted by, "Hey, Coach, isn't there another wedding you can go to this weekend?"
