[Magdalen] Small wedding prayer request

[James Oppenheimer]

The Police LOVE it when something weird goes wrong and they end up doing
something to help people who, for a change, are not in danger of being
locked up for some kind of malfeasance.  I am sure it made the day (month?
year?) for those constabularies.
