Many people are a bit fearful of that moment when a wedding bouquet is thrown with the promise of the next marriage for the lucky recipient. Isidoro Pensieri, 44, can personally attest to the dangers of that tradition. He is recovering at a hospital in Pisa with facial and head injuries and two broken legs after a bouquet was thrown from a plane — only to have it get stuck in the rotor and crash the plane in front of the couple and guests.
The flowers caused an explosion in the motor and crashed the ultra-light aircraft in the woods. The pilot, 61 year-old Luciano Nannelli, escaped unhurt from the crash.
As for the symbolism of the bride’s bouquet taking down a small aircraft, I will leave that to the couple. It may mean less about their marriage as the general decline of marriage among their friends.

Wow, is all I can muster. Opps what a cluster ****. Something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new. This could be a field day.
Brings a whole new meaning to the term “Wedding Crashers”.
Hey, some marriages crash and some do not … flowers and all … the moral of the story is limit the sphere of influence when randomly selecting the next to be hitched.

lottakatz,
Glad you enjoyed it.
Looks like we’re going to get springtime in July this weekend. Too bad that wasn’t the weather last weekend when myself and a friend were blowing insulation into the attic.
Lotta,
Just remember, the only bad pun is the one you didn’t think of first.

That was good, I am sorry I did not think of it first.
Do not mock the boquet ritual, it is very important to a certain segment of the bridal party:
