BURLINGTON, ON – Local man Stephen Saroyan was put on the spot last week when trying to order wedding invitations while unsure of his fiancée’s middle name.
“I think she mentioned it once on our first date, and it sounded like the kind of name a grandmother or great aunt would have,” Saroyan said. “I didn’t think our relationship was going anywhere back then, so I guess I didn’t pay much attention.”
Saroyan is now on a mad hunt to locate Ms. Mansbridge’s family tree.
“For some reason, Stephen keeps telling me I should take up genealogy as a hobby, and join Ancestry.com,” said Ethel Mansbridge, mother of the bride-to-be. “I keep telling him that I can barely figure out how to make this horrible Pinterest thing work.”
According to Saroyan, his fogginess over his bride-to-be’s exact middle name has created some awkward situations.
“Last night, Anna caught me rifling through her wallet, trying to get her middle name off of her driver’s license,” he said. “I didn’t want to admit the real reason for my snooping, so instead I accused her of cheating and said I was looking for the evidence.”
At press time, it seemed that Saroyan’s memory lapse no longer mattered, as Ms. Mansbridge was so angered by the accusation that she had called off the wedding.
