oh geez, "find me a groom" has got to be one of the THE MOST
DANGEROUS things you can say to a relative, or even a friend for that

you meant to say, "as soon as I find someone to marry I'll let you
know", but you thought "find me a groom" meant the same thing and
obviously it doesn't to some people.
