Good morning,

Which title would you give this text adapted from Groucho Marx :
a) the marriage of two avocados
b) a two avocados' wedding ??

"I have always had trouble with my avocado tree! I planted it hoping that some day, it would have fruit. Well, five years have passed and in all that time, not one avocado has hung from its branches.
One day, I finally made up my mind to go to a flower-shop and explained the situation to the assistant. When I had finished my explanation, he looked at me and said: "Mr Marx, don't you know that if you want to get fruit, you have to have a male and a female avocado plant?!!" For Goodness' sake, I was so surprised, I could not believe my ears! What an odd thing to be aware of! I knew that movie stars happened to go through something like this to produce fruit, yet I had no idea the male avocado tree needed a female avocado tree."

I've shorten the text a bit.
Thanks a lot
