You know that your at a "ghetto" wedding if...

...Your invitation arrives 4 days before the wedding...The programs weren't there yet. When they got there, you had to beg the hostess to give you one...The usher didn't know which side of the church was the Bride's or Groom's...The wedding started an hour after the time on the invitation...There were visible safety pins in the bridesmaid's dresses...A groomsman had his tux leg rolled up...A bridesmaid answered a cellular phone during the ceremony...The unity candles won't light...The preacher's beeper goes off. 10. The vocalist didn't know the words to the songs...The parents of the Bride or Groom were under 30 years old...The Bride's hair had grown 14 inches in a week...A member of the wedding party was wearing sunglasses...There were more than 40 people in the wedding party...The mother of the Groom had her shoes off during the ceremony...The Bride was given away by her 8 year old uncle...The happy couple already had kids; and most of them were in the wedding...Music by Luther, Diana Ross, Lionel Richie was played at the reception...The communion "wine" was Asti Spumante...The entertainers from the bachelor party were in the audience...The couples first dance was to a song by "Puff Daddy."...The "ELETRICK SLIDE" was played at least five times...The wedding cake came from SAM'S CLUB...The lady serving the punch advised you to keep your cup...The tuna fish and pimento cheese sandwiches were rationed...You saw groomsmen making trips to 7-11 and KFC to restock the buffet...At least one fight broke out (usually the bridesmaids fighting over the bouquet)...The best man did the toast, but called the Bride by the wrong name. 29. The DJ had an entourage of 8 or more people...The photographer took 1,762,491 pictures (and none of them came out right)...The Bride & Groom rode off standing up in the limousine's sun roof...The bridesmaids have their hair colored to match their dresses...The groomsmen have more than 5 gold teeth in their mouths. 34. The DJ is caught in the kitchen trying to make a plate. 35. Mama and 'em bust out the "Reynolds Wrap" to take a plate home (why do we call it Reynolds Wrap when we buy the generic brand)...The bride is "Backin' That Thing Up" with the grooms father...The bride can be seen with dollar bills safety pinned to her wedding dress...The groomsmen take pictures that resemble a recent issue of Vibe magazine.

The other side of the coin...
 
Of course, the other side of the ghetto wedding...is the redneck wedding. Opposites you may say, but eerily similar.

You may be at a redneck wedding/reception if:

-Bikers driving by see all the bikes outside and decide to come on in, wearing full leather.

-There is karaoke to "Forever and Ever Amen" sung DURING THE CEREMONY.

-At the reception, people change from their formal clothes to jeans or sweats. Personal fave: the teenage boy wearing a shirt that says "tickle this Elmo."

-There are firehoses and boots in plain view.

-If you spill a drink, the lady in the kitchen gives you a mop to clean it up yourself.

-The bridal party has all dated each other at some point in high school.

-If you get your bridesmaids or mother of the bride dresses from anyplace other than the JC Penney prom catalog, you are just too full of yourself and "citified."

-People only dance to the country tunes, not the "dance" music.

I wish I could've gone...
 
a friend of mine's friend recently wed and after hearing about her invitation and registry, i really wish i could have gone...

#1--apparantly this girl was trying to save money because one side of her invitations had the invite info, the other side had the wedding program, complete with misspelled words. (i.e., "bring your owen bottle"). even the bride's mother's name was misspelled.

#2--why is the wedding b.y.o.b.????

#3--this girl's registry was...what is the word...GHETTO!!!!. some of the items she registered for were...

- toilet paper
- a case of dove soap
- orange juice
- a case of beer

i mean, this just doesn't make any sense!!!!!
