AS THE NERVOUS BRIDE TO BE OPENS HER GIFTS, SOMEONE
WRITES DOWN THE THINGS SHE SAYS, USUALLY ABOUT
RIBBONS, TAPES, OR THE GIFT ITSELF. THE BRIDE
DOES NOT KNOW THIS IS BEING DONE. AFTERWARDS, IT
IS READ ALOUD AND ENTITLED "WHAT RITA SAYS ON HER
WEDDING NIGHT."

Submitter comment: INNOCENT REMARKS COME OUT SOUNDING EXTREMELY OBSCENE.
BECAUSE THE REFERENCES ARE USUALLY TO COLOR, USE,
SIZE, ETC.
