giving this a bump
 

This is the funniest thread that exists...I have to bump it up so other people who missed it can enjoy it. Damn, there are some scary ass ghetto weddings going on. Somehow I don't think any of them will appear on "A Wedding Story"...ha ha...keep em coming!

These are really funny stories. lol:p

GHETTO WEDDINGS
 

I went to a ghetto wedding not too long ago, but it was to my gay white friend Tony's wedding I've known since the 10th grade(NEVER AGAIN!)

Well I went to a gay wedding y'all(no lie) each groomsman had a different color of the rainbow on(red, yellow, green, etc) with top hats and shoes to match. The groom and groom:eek: came down the isle to "I knew I loved you before I met you" but it wasn't the slow version, it was the fast house remix! It sounded good, but not for a damn wedding. And there were more drag queens there than real women. When the groom kissed the groom, one of them yelled out "It' don't get no betta than that!" I could have died.

The reception was held AT THE CLUB with finger foods shaped like a particular body part( I KID YOU NOT! I TOOK A PICTURE OF THAT MESS) and gay men, drag queens and all danced the night away to house music. I will never go to another one.

CTHU, girl you have commentary issues. I have got to meet you because you are hecka funny.

Oh, Clawd!
 

I just went back and read this entire thread. I don't know why I never responded because I was a "silent monitor" back then, but I should have.

This is why my fiancee and I are ELOPING :D

I did have a story though...it wasn't really ghetto, but I was still like, "damn, why?"

Well my good friend from high school got married about two years ago and she wanted me to come, so I hopped on a plane and we (my BF, my mother and myself) flew down to St. Pete, FL. Now I was already hot because she asked me to be a bridesmaid, but she never sent me the dress design...but I'm okay. I can get over that.

The wedding was a mess. The church was hot (no air conditioning) and we're all sittin up in there cursing and sweating because you know we didn't start on time. The bridesmaids come down the aisle wearing burgundy dresses-which would have been aight if they were all the SAME shade. I think I counted about 2 or 3 different shades of burgundy-and why would you pick that color for a summer wedding?? Then my friend comes down the aisle with her mom, she looks great! Until I find out later that this beautiful gown is BORROWED from her mom's friend! Come on now! You could have gotten your own...
The ceremony was fine...bada bing...you're now husband and wife, smiles all around. I'm sure we're all thanking God at this point because we are simply dying for some fresh air. I know I was RUNNING up out of the church.

We get to the reception (which took about 45 minutes because we didn't know where in the hell it was and we got shoddy directions) which is at a country club. Okay, things are looking up...

No, actually they're not. We get in there...plastic plates and silverware and cups. Water stains on the ceiling. No dance floor. The guests get there and we're waiting to eat...and waiting...and waiting. So people are up in there saying stuff like, "WTF?? I'm hongry" and "When the hell are we gonna eat?" The bride and groom show up about a HALF HOUR later, so you know a sista is runnin to the buffet table outside...only to find that the food they served was the same food I could have bought at Publix on the way over...cause that was where it was from! Chicken wings, cheese and crackers, and a itty bitty platter of shrimp (which guests are about to go to blows over). I get what I can and go back to the reception.

I could go on and on about the DJ that sucked, or the drunk in-laws, or the fact that I left early and hit the KFC on the way back to the hotel and hit the beach for the rest of the day. But ya'll don't wanna hear that :D

Re: GHETTO WEDDINGS
 

OMGoodness............that does not sound like a wedding at all! It sounds more like a coming out party (no pun intended:D ). but to be honest with you, I wish I could have been there to see it all go down!

Re: GHETTO WEDDINGS
 

CTTTFFFU. CTTTFFFU. CTTTFFU.
ROFLMP&GBO.
The idea of finger food shaped like a particular body part would be enough to send me running to the porcelain god.
:eek: :p

THIS IS SOME FUNNY ISHT!!!!!
 

Oh Gosh! The Hilarity!!

HC in that picture from the link one of the groomsman was wearing Khakis?! :eek: :mad: And the yellow school bus for the cake!!!! AHHHHAAAHAAHAAA!!!! This is tooooo much!!!

OHHHH Laaaawd CTFU!! LMAO
Andre is OK... if you are already drunk... lmao

I had to bump this one back up...:D because I had to remind myself of what NOT to do at my wedding.

Had to make the 100th post/reply
 

HC this lady at the beauty shop told me her niece is getting married next May?
HC the chick has 52 people in the wedding? :eek:
HC the chick is UNEMPLOYED?
HC that's extremely GHETTO?

Hate to say this...
 

But if I ever get married, I'm gonna have a Vegas-style wedding, with a Black Elvis and Motown back-up singers, in one of those Chapels of Happiness...

That's only 'cuz my folx said if I'm not married by 35, they're not gonna pay for the wedding... I have at least a year and a half...

It sounds like most of these stories are related to the couple being rather young--under 25... How many of these marriages have lasted?

Oh, and one more thing, I would prefer an Adult-oriented wedding to limit the number of children and underaged attendees at my affair... Then again, my parents would be soooo happy to get rid of me, I'd be at the Venetian or Bellagio Hotels, which is what I always wanted!!!

Question
 

I went to my ship's wedding about 2 years ago, and she had what I guess you would call "the dollar dance"!!! I thought it was cute, they had a LOT of fun, plus may I add that it is a perfect way of getting extra money (she got over $400 :eek: )

Do you think this was GHETTO????? I was thinking of having the same thing at my wedding, especially since this would be a GREAT way to get everyone involved....

What are your thoughts...?????

another ghetto wedding
 

All I can say is, older folks can't DO everythang young folks do:rolleyes:


My Mama's Auntie got married again, she's 80 years old and her man is a younger man(73). So basically, both of them sat behind Jesus in Kindergarden back in the day:D


Anyway the wedding wasn't ghetto, it went off without a hitch, I left to go to work and my mama calls me to tell me that everybody was doing the electric slide(it's electric!). When my Auntie really was getting into it, well she slipped on something on the floor, she flew up in the air, and hit my cousin Lela in the face with her foot, making her nose bleed.

She broke her hip, it's going to take months to recover, and her husband is right there by her side(even though they haven't made the marriage "real" yet) OH THAT IS SO GROSS! (barfs). But it's true!

My life is a damn B movie:p

Re: Question
 

What exactly is this Dollar Dance? Is this similar to when Bird (Soul Food) got married and everyone was pinning money to the dress at the reception?
