Big Oops!

We had a “combined service” this afternoon, at the Sandy Bay chapel. A combined service is where all the members of the 4 different chapels get together at one location.
We are in the process of putting together a church directory with the details of all the members and adherents, together with their photos. I was given the job of taking the photos of the various couples and families. So, after the service, I went about busily making the various couples stand together to have their photos taken. I saw Mervyn standing near Daphne, and told them to stand together. Shyly, he stood next to her. “Stand closer – look as if you like her”, says Big Mouth. No sooner had I taken the photo, than I get a little tap on my shoulder, and one of the ladies whispers “That is the wrong Daphne…..” Big Oops!

Wrong “couple”

Correct couples :
Daphne and Mervyn Constantine

William and Daphne Peters
