I once played at a wedding at the beach on a very cold day. At the end of the (New Age) ceremony, the bride and groom were supposed to unwrap a gift as their first act as husband and wife. The box was filled with butterflies that were supposed to fly away to symbolize their soaring love. It was so dang cold that when the package was opened, the frigid butterflies flopped to the ground, seemingly lifeless. The bride became hysterical at the evil omen. To their credit, the butterflies sort of revived as the reception progressed, but never really felt up to flitting away.
