They did that at a wedding here in Mississippi!

Well my sister (in Illinois, where I'm from as well) and a couple of my Sorors (in Massachusetts and Georgia) had little girls to announce the bride is coming. Most people do not play "here comes the bride" anymore. I know I'm not having that played for me at my wedding next spring, but I will not have a bell ringer. But if you don't have "here comes the bride" played then it just can be another way to inform the guests that the bride is next. People at my sister's wedding thought it was very cute how our little cousin announced it. And what I think is that people mostly have it done becaue it is cute more than anything else.

Friday night (in the midst of celebrating the beggining of my v-cation, I followed a few colleagues. Where we were headed, I didn't really know.) Anyway....

We ended up at this "reception". I thought maybe the wedding had taken place earlier or whatever. When we got there it was like 9pm. The wedding itself I think started around 9. So let's say the reception was really just getting underway.

Anyway, someone got on the microphone and yelled..."I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but don't fix those to go plates yet, we are expecting other guests..." :o I was too through. I was :o for those who were attempting to fix a plate to go, even if they were not.

That's what I get for not following my first mind and do my own thing. :rolleyes:

I 'm actually sittin' here crying. That pimpin' down the aisle gets me everytime!http://www.plauder-smilies.de/laugh2.gif

Just Plain Ignorant!
 

My friend's wedding was supposed to start @ 6pm. Why did, @ a quarter 'til 6, the bride and bridesmaids decide they were hungry and left to go get something to eat? Now, they didn't go to McD's or some other FAST food restaurant...these mofos went to Ryan's, sat down and ate buffet. Why didn't the wedding start until after 8? And why couldn't those mofos wait until the reception like everybody else?

Only Alabama
 

A few months ago there was this story on the news about two couples who got married outside of Hardee's. They were all employees and met there. After they got married they went inside for their reception. They had on formal attire too.:confused:

I went to a wedding about 2 years ago...it was supposed to start at 3:00. At about 3:45, the mother of the bride gets on the mic and says, "Can yall come back in a couple hours cuz the bride's still at the hairdresser!" Okay, do you think I saw any part of that ceremony?!?!?!

Another wedding that I went to was beautiful..........until we got to the reception! Of course the food was cold, they had us drinking from plastic wine glasses, during the "$1 dance" (or whatever it's called), this gay man tried to dance with the groom, and get this..........when people starting leaving, they asked if we could help put the tables away and stack the chairs! Now that was a bit much for me!

This is by far, the funniest thread up here in GC. I have to always control my laughter when I read these hilarious as hell stories. :D :D

ghetto weddings
 

This thread is so FUNNY!!!! I was LMAO reading this at my desk and then I showed it to my co-workers and they were rolling right along with me.

This ghetto wedding was right in my own family. My ghetto cousin got married 5 years ago to an equally ghetto man and they had what I thought was such a ghetto wedding.

I was the maid of honor. All of our dresses matched (I saw to that). Here is where things started to go ghetto:

First of all, the ceremony started late. Why? The groom overslept and then had to go and get his hair cut. WTF?? Then he didn't look in the box from the tux shop until the day of and showed up in a navy blue coat with black pants. Then his groomsmen came down the aisle pimping, jail posing, profiling, you name it. Then WTF gave the bride's exboyfriend permission to sing to her during the ceremony?? Then the groom and the ex almost went to blows at the altar!!!

It gets worse: at the reception they had downhome (this is in Mississippi) food. Fried chicken, chitterlings, BBQ, neck bones, red Kool-Aid, the most ghetto stuff you can imagine. And the wedding party and I had to serve it all and by the time we got to eat, there was no more food!! Then the whole time, his best man kept looking at me like I was some biscuit he wanted to sop up with some syrup and kept asking me for my phone number. All I wanted was the phone number to the nearest Shoney's so I could eat!! :(

All I can say is that I caught the bouquet and I guess that stuff they say about being the next to marry is true, because I am getting married in February of 2003 and you can believe that it will be ghetto free!! This thread should be called "What Not To Do At Your Wedding"!!!!

OK, who invited the ex? :confused:

Congratulations on your wedding! Don't let it be ghetto because we WILL talk about you all up in here! :D

Who invited the Ex?
 

Actually the bride invited him to show him that she was being the "bigger person" since he dumped her prior to her meeting her hubby. But he couldn't just accept the invite graciously and/or stayed his behind at home. No, he had to sing some Keith Sweat mess. :mad: :rolleyes:

Re: Who invited the Ex?
 

Now I'm wondering......what was the groom's input, if any on Mr. Ex being invited??????:eek: :confused: :eek:

I'll Answer That, FeeFee
 

OK, it was like this: my cousin, the ex, and I all grew up as members of the same church. Now the ex had an OK singing voice (Donnie McClurkin he ain't) and the church always asked him to sing at services all the time. B/C of this attention, he got to be a bit conceited; strutting around the church like he the best thing there. Anyway, he and my cousin dated all through high school and he dumped her as soon as some pretty new girl joined the church and was fawning all over him. My cousin was hurt, but she still cared about him.

Now, FF to when she met her hubby. He joined the church and they started dating. He didn't care for the ex, but was civil to him anyway.
When we were planning this wedding, my cousin invited everyone at the church in addition to family, friends, co-workers, etc. The groom told the ex that he had no problem with his being invited to the wedding, but he did not have their permission to sing, 'cuz you know he asked.

So with his little feathers all ruffled because somebody didn't want to hear his singing, he decides to totally disrespect my cousin and her hubby by singing ANYWAY. That's why he almost got his azz beat down at the altar. :p

See 9dstpm, that's why some people just need to get one of those GP azz whuppings :mad: You try to be civil to some folks, and they still wanna act up.

Re: Re: Oh, Clawd!
 

I just saw this because I haven't checked up on this thread in a minute.

No they didn't have enough money for a elaborate wedding, and don't get me wrong...I was very happy for my friend. They did what they could with what they had, so maybe when I told the story it sounded that way, as if I was being superficial about the entire purpose of the wedding. That wasn't my intent at all by my sharing that...They are still married now with a little girl and are happy. So I wish them the best, always. We still keep in touch.

RECEPTION
 

Well I have been to my share of ghetto weddings, so I decided just to go to someone's reception. It was in there Mama's backyard(which wasn't bad, it was a big house, the pool had flowers in it, etc) so I breathed a big sigh of relief as I ate my chicken plate "No ghettoness"

Until Shaft came out.

Shaft is a HUGE and I mean HUGE Great Dane that is only a baby and the brides mama thought it would be ok to let him out for a minute so that he would quit whining in the back. After all, he was SO WELL trained in obedience school, right?

Well in 30 minutes Satan's spawn:

Slobbered all over the ring bearer and flower girl, scaring them half to death.

Jumped in the pool, which had beautiful flowers floating in it to get a ball one of the groomsmen threw in the pool.

Ate some chocolate(a big animal NO NO)
Proceeded to leave "little brown presents" around the yard for us to step in.

Scared the bride's grandma when he got behind her and let out a loud happy WOOF! Grandma cussed out her daughter about the dog in front of everyone cause he's "making her sugar act up":rolleyes: :o


Why me? Why?


QTE

These are too funny! -- bump
 

Bumping this again. I hope nobody tries any of this mess at my wedding.

I've got some...
 

A. I went to a wedding over the summer. It was outside, kinda hot…anyway, there was a DJ at the wedding ceremony playing music while we waited. The groom was late (he needed pants from the mall was his story, how valid was it, I dunno) Anyway, the groom gets in, a few minutes later, the DJ goes “Aight, we ‘bout to get this weddin’ started.” The DJ announces the parents of the bride & groom (luckily he didn’t announce the party as they made their entrance) introduced the soloist before and after she sang. (“Aight ya’ll, that was Angela. Give it up for Angela”) Good thing a judge officiated, so that ceremony was done in under 10 mins once they finally got started.

B. The ceremony and reception wasn’t really ghetto (except for my new sister-in-law having us walk down the aisle to Jagged Edge's "let's get married"-- thank goodness it was just the instrumental), but when my brother got married, we had champagne in the limos. Since the wedding party was so large, we ran out en route to the reception hall. So, someone (I wasn’t in the limo with my brother, so I don’t know whose idea it was) had the drivers stop at the liquor store for more. Since my brother and sister-in-law have some ghetto friends, when we got the reception and walked in, they brought their liquor with them, brown bags and all and raised it up as they walked through the door.

Okay...

This past month, I was the Maid-of-Honor in my step-sister's wedding....It was in Chicago....Anyone here know Mr. G's Supper Club?? Yep..it was there. She paid bookoo money for this room, and she didn't even get: PLATES, SILVERWARE...nada...

So, my dear ghettofabulous sister bought plates, glasses and dishware for the head table. Everyone else got...paper plates and plastic forks.

The food arrived 2 hours late. Her hairdresser was the wedding corrdinator, and her cousin cooked the food.

HC the cousin got the hook-up?
HC the food was late?
HC the food was in aluminum casserole dishes?
HC the food was cold????
HC my sister paid for food to feed 150 people, 60 showed up, and everyone could only get 1 piece of chicken????

Okay, so after we ate, everyone made a toast...the groom's momma's toast went something like this: We are good Christian people, and when things happen you don't want or like (like this marriage) you just gotta pray on it....

WTH!! God don't like ugly.....

Wait..there's more....before we got to the reception, the DJ was playing good stuff (so I heard)...

HC the groom's momma told him that we are good Christians, and to play Gospel only??
HC my granddaddy told the lady that he just left church, and this was a party..??
HC he made the DJ switch back to playing what he was playing before??
HC the groom fell on his behind trying to do the Cha-Cha??

HC the Best Man was hitting on me...and my man was at the wedding too?? HC my man didn't beat his a**??

So at the end of this shindig, everyone was leaving...they decided to release some ballons...HC they got stuck in the power cables RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR?? HC they are still there??

That's all I can remember for now...hopefully this is the last time I will ever be in a ghetto fabulous wedding...

Why am I cracking up at some of these incidents?

I don't think what I have actually experienced is or will be considered ghetto but here goes:

A couple of years ago a friend of mine from Junior High wedding was held on a boat. BEAUTIFUL.

She was almost 3 hours late and HER family was like "I bet you she ain't even comin'". I COULD NOT believe what I was hearing. The Groom (whom we've known since High School) was going around apologizing and letting everyone know that she is fine, he is in touch with her and that she was on her way. It ended up being some problem with limo.

Okay, so she is finally there. The ceremony and all was beautiful....UNTIL.....it was time to kiss the bride. Why did HER family yell out "Make sure you give him some tongue?"

WTH??????? I was like OH NO THEY DIDN'T!!!

I told the bride all of this months later after the wedding. She told me some other issues with her family that took place, which no one knew about and that she WAS NOT surprised of what happened at the ceremony and was a little hurt with what they said while we all waited. Someone else had mention their comments to her, but they weren't a reliable source and she knows that I have/would NEVER lie to her.

But overall, everything else was just fabulous.

My other friends wedding, the bride was 7 months pregnant wearing a white dress and had the hairstyle from he****. I mean ladies, you know how your hair looks when it is real windy outside and your style is blown away.....but you come inside and fix it....NOPE! Her hair stayed blown away.

When I showed my Mom those pictures she said "pass me a comb, I'm going to fix her hair through these pictures."

I was cracking up!!!

:p

It's Offical.....
 

I have gone to the most GHETTO-fabulous wedding ever!!
This was a friend of my boyfriend. Oh where do I start......

Let me give you a little background. The guy is damn near 30, the bride is 19 (and looks 14) and they have two kids (you do the math).

My boyfriend warned me after he went to the rehearsal the night before that is was going to be a hot mess. The preacher did not show up and the coordinators did not even pair up the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. She said that they would worry about that the day of the wedding. Then what is the point of the rehearsal???
They had three wedding coordinators (who all wore black tight outfits). They were too concerned with looking cute that everyone just sat themselves. And of course when it was time for the procession my man wound up walking the maid of honor down the isle.
Why were the bridesmaid dresses blood red??
Why were they all in high school?
Why were four of the five pregnant (and showing)??:eek:

The preacher was off the hook. In his sermon he was talking about the unity of marriage but in ghetto terms. Like if she got bad credit that means you both got bad credit. It's no longer your fried chicken it's both of your fried chicken :D
Why did the pastor wear sunglasses throughout his whole sermon?
Why was his voice crazy raspy?
Why were the two guys standing in the back of the hall not mean looking ushers as I thought, but his body guards (and I'm serious)??
Why did my man tell me that they pulled up in front of the hall in an all black Mercedes with black tinted windows and smoke coming out of the sunroof??!!!

Now for the reception......

When it was time for the parents of the bride to dance, why were they getting down and dirty!!! I'm talking grinding and whining, even the DJ said I think that we need to get them a room.

Why was one of the flower girls running around in nothing but an under shirt and pampers by the middle of the reception?
Why was the bride getting down on the floor and dancing in he white dress (and I mean getting down. ie. hands on the floor butt in the air!!!).

Why did the best man have a tear drop tattoed under one eye?
Why did he make it known that he and his baby's mother (who was there with his two infant children) were no longer together?
- I guess he wanted it known that he is now available.
Why was she 7 months pregant and the baby is not his?
-I guess that is why he helped her light up her cigarette!!!
:mad:

Re: It's Offical.....
 

That's horrible about the cigarette part. :mad: The dangers of smoking while pregnant is a whole other thread, though.

IMO, if your story is not the most ghetto, it's definitely in the top 10.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :mad: (at the cigarette part)

ROTFLOLMBAO at the fried chicken and credit thing....:D

:( :( :( :eek: :eek: :eek:


OH MY GOODNESS.....OH MYYY GOODNESS.....OH NOOOOOOO!!!

I am just TOO disgusted with that story!

At one point I was cracking up shaking my head.....then I got to the end......cigarette....pregnant.....just because the baby isn't his doesn't mean he shouldn't consider the health of the unborn child and his two other children (Lawd only knows how many more he may have) with second hand smoke.

All I can say is: G-H-E-T-T-O!!!

So sorry you had to witness that.
:eek:

That's so wrong!

Fee Fee doesn't this look like the White Castle on Myrtle and Washington?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 

Oh my dayums @ the picture. :eek: :eek:

There's no White Castle on that corner (maybe it's a little further down Myrtle Ave.), just Kum Kau Chinese Restaurant (yummy!! :D ).

Regardless, oh my dayums @ the picture. LMBO!!!

Re: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
 

Maybe it is a little further down...but that is a Brooklyn WC. :o :o

When you're getting married it's YOUR day. If they wanted to stop and get some chicken rings before the reception...hey!

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Y'all, I went to a wedding this weekend and the bride had Christmas lights in her bouquet. Not only that, EVERYBODY pimped down the aisle to Kelly Price's "He proposed to me". People was testifying in the church like it was church service. ANDDDDDD, at the reception it looked like a backyard BBQ. (ya know paper plates, napkins, and plastic forks).

Can you post some pictures??? I gotta see the bouquet.

LOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

me too....
i hope they didn't have chittlin's at the reception!!
