Ghetto Wedding Stories
 

Okay, okay someone had started a topic on weddings. Okay I do not really care about weddings. I HATE THEM! So it really doesn't matter to me who gets invited or anything like that. But have any of you ever been to a ghetto wedding? One of my friends from high school got married last summer, trust me I didn't want to go. Well I ended up going not to hurt her feelings or disappoint her cause for the most part she's been a good friend to me. Well needless to say, it was a ghetto affair. It really wasn't my friend or her family. They are refined college educated folks. When I look at them, I see the Huxtables. But her fiance's family, James and Florida Evans. I've only been to a handful of albums, but I've never seen a wedding that had an MC. The groom's aunt aka "wedding coordinator" had to give us a play by play during the ceremony of what was going on like we didn't know that we were at a wedding. The minister, the grooms uncle could not read the bible. You would think if one were to do public speaking they would practice, NOT! The groom's grandmother made the bridesmaides dresses. Before the wedding another one of my friends (your soror) was like when you see these homemade dresses you're gonna laugh but try not too. Trust me, I was ROTFLMAO. Okay the reception was even more ghetto. They had like regular sunday dinner food. By the time I got to the food service line, it was all gone and this wasn't a big wedding. Oh and the biggest most ghetto part was when the groom's sister, who was a bridesmaid, came to the reception in her Nike sandals. When they did an introduction of the wedding party she was the only bridesmaid who came walking through in her dress and Nike sandals. My friend did not look happy the whole time. It was a ghetto affair to remember. I hate weddings and would rather have a root canal, but on this day I had a lot to laugh at. The ghetto fabulousness of it provided some much needed comic relief. Any of you got any ghetto wedding stories out there?

Choregraphed entrances...Please elaborate!

You can call this either ghetto or just plain trifling. How about a wedding where the minister mispronounces the bride's name several times (this is the bride's regular pastor mind you) and then presents the couple to the audience as Mr. and Mrs. so and so before they've even said their vows. My friend and I were convinced the minister had a little something to drink before the ceremony. Overall, the ceremony was simply a hot mess!

i don't know if this would be classified as ghetto, but at my friends wedding two years ago, the minister misprounounced her name and I MEAN BAD! people were like dang....

plus it was soooooo hot in the church. why? whoever was in charge of bringing the key to the control room did not show up!!!

also, during my cousins wedding last year this chicks pager went off in the middle of the ceremony. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif anyway, thats why at my wedding everyone will be required to turn off all electrical devices as soon as the enter and if something goes off during the ceremony they will be escorted out by the ushers like they stole something.....

Oohlala,
Picture this:

Bridesmaids walk in doing the classic 'wedding bop' (you know, step, together,step, together , etc). When they are all in the aisle they pause, raise their bouquets and move them in a kinda circular fashion, turn and pose. Then, they take 2 or 3 additional steps where they do it again.
I hope that makes sense. Well, it didn't really make sense in person, but... LOL

It may be one of those 'you gotta be there' moments.

I got another one:
That fake fog that they use at concerts is released before bride walks down the aisle (wasn't there--heard about it). My friend who told me about it said everyone was gagging/coughing and fanning as the bride was walking down the aisle.

DISCLAIMER: Ghettoness is a subjective term. If you have done any of these, participated in any of these with great pride, or dreamed of the day you could do one of these in your wedding, I mean no harm!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

ECLIPSE:SAY IT AIN'T SO, SAY IT AINT SO!!!!!MY FRIEND AND I ARE AT WORKING ROLLING!!!!!(THAT WAS VERY 80'S)THAT PICTURE WAS VERY CLEAR. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE, AND LAWD, I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO!

A friend of mine went to a wedding once where she said everyone there had on mini skirts, tube tops, capri pants,.... and jean sets. She felt really out of place in her pants suit, stockings, and heels.

Dang, so I can't do the derby thing at my wedding?

See that's why when I get married (providing I find a woman that will put up with me), I want to go to the Bahamas or Jamaica and get married. My immediate family, best friend, and my LB's.

This is so that most of my ghetto family can't make it. God knows I luv my people, but I kinda wish some of them would stay home.

Now as far as warning the groom, I have to admit to that. Not during the reception as to put the brother on front street, but my father did let the groom know at a party after the wedding day, that the groom would have to deal with him and the big bald guy (me) if the brother did anything to hurt my cousin. We had our reasons, the brother was a former "pharmaceutical salesman," so we thought that a little warning was in order.

But pops and me aren't ghetto, we just role like that.

MN

OH MY GOD...I PICTURED IT IN MY HEAD AND STARTED ROLLING!!! You described it perfectly. The wedding I saw the guys were sort of "pimping" in, then struck a pose and the guy pulling up the rear did a "jail pose"

I have to stop reading this stuff at work. I almost choked on my lunch. Woo. The fog while chick is walking down the aisle is too much also.

okay, these weddings were, to me, ghetto w/o the fabulous:

1. a wedding where the groomsmen all wore jailhouse braids (think Warren Sapp).

2. a wedding where as the preacher is going through the ceremony, the bride's kids are saying, "mommy, mommy, why you wearin' that?", "mommy, i'm hongry!"

3. a wedding where the bride's wore a just-stitched-the-night-before bridal veil (and it showed) and the bridesmaids dresses were finished that week w/uneven hems, the dresses didn't match each other and the shoes didn't match the dress.

4. the bridesmaids and the groomsmen were made to serve the wedding guests. for some reason their were no servers and this wasn't a buffet.

5. this is the kicker: a Princess Diana wedding on a Mother Theresa budget. the bride didn't have enough money to pay for the limo. the driver was dismissed after the ceremony so the bridesmaids had to pile up in a one car to get to the reception. no one know the way. during the reception the bride was seen w/her mother signing the gift checks over to the caterer.

i didn't attend any of these weddings but my girlfriends shared these stories and they just still cause me to wonder about my people!

I also hate weddings, but for a different reason. I hate them because the people getting married act like the guest OWE TEHM SOMETHNG.

It use to be an honor to be invited to somebody's wedding. It meant that they wanted you to share in their moment. Now they just want you to put money in their wishing well.

The worse thing I've seen at a wedding, was when the bride was TWO hours late, and nobody made an apology. Everybody in the pews was asking everybody else if they knew what was going on. She didn't even apologize in the stupid Thank - You cards. Plus, the musician had a prior engagement, and the minister (musician's dad), raced through the vows. After waiting two hours, I WAS PISSED!!!!!

The second worse ghetto thing was when I received an invitation to a wedding with no response card. I called up the matron of honor, and told her I didn't get a response card. She said, "oh well, you weren't invited to the reception." I didn't trip... yet. I said, "Okay, they only want me to come to the ceremony (it was a good friend of mine, he was marrying a hoodrat), cool, they're not expecting a gift." The matron of honor (bride's cousin, and my friend) said "oh, they're gonna have the wishing well at the church for the people who weren't invited to the reception."

CAN YOU SAY "TACKY AS HELL, ON A COLD DAY?"

Miss. Mocha

Y'all I had to get up and close my office door I was laughing so hard!!

MN: You and your pops aren't ghetto, huh? Yeah right!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif Just kidding!! I feel you, my brother. Handle your business, but just not up in the reception, over the PA system, 'kay? LOL

toocute: Not the jail pose!!! I am ROTFLMHO on that one!! Now I must make a confession. My husband's goomsmen were cutting up in some of our pictures and we have one with them doing that!

I have one more that was stopped before it could truly be ghetto for everyone to see. You know how most of us have that 1 branch of the family that you just have to shake your head at? Well, a cousin wanted to have her reception at Ryan's 'cause she figured everyone could just go through the line, pay for themselves then come back to the private dining room for the 'reception.' After me and one of my aunts stopped laughing we informed her that it was not proper and she ended up having a cute little inexpensive reception (with our help).

I'm noticing a trend here...I sure have been to a lot of ghetto weddings!! dang!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

My friend went to a wedding where the groom serendaded(sp?) to his bride as she walked down the aisle (not bad). But he started feelin the moment a little to much when after the minister pronounced them husband and wife, he grabbed the mic and started singing another song ( an old gospel song) the band started playing that fast shoutin music and the whole wedding party started jumpin up and down, shoutin and praising God. The bride almost lost her veil and her boobs. Soon the whole congregation joined them. It lasted about ten minutes, finally the wedding party shouted on down the aisle.

I am laughing too hard up in here.

Toocute: The jail pose. Is that the one where the man squats down, legs sorta open, with both elbows kinda propped up on his knees and...oh yeah...one hand propped under his chin like a playa?

I went to a wedding where, not only was the wedding and reception in adjacent rooms (see Eclipse's post) and we had to smell Sunday dinner the entire time, but the dinner was served with...you guessed it...WATER ONLY. Dang. I may not have tripped if the water was sparkling, maybe some Evian...and I love water but come on...GHETTO!!!

I have also been to a wedding where the seamstress (for lack of a better word) who was the groom's sister NEVER showed up with the dresses. We waited like two hours and finally they had to go on with outb them (meaning NO bridesmaids). When there were about twenty minutes left she shows up with ONE dress. My friend was HOT about it. That wasn't really ghetto per se, but tragic, unfortunate, and ...okay...ghetto because it is ghetto NOT to make sure things are in order before (way before)the day of the big occasion.

Y'all got me rolling over here!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

But, I do remember going to a wedding where the bride requested the pastor (whom I guess she's known all her life) to sing a song after they did their vows. Which I guess wouldn't have been half bad if it wasn't an old B.B. King blues cut. (I can't remember which one). GHETTO!

Let me add my ghetto fabulous experiences

Wedding one
The bridesmaids had different dresses...um some with gloves, some without. At the reception, the bride's uncle had fired up the grill at his house, in another city mind you, and brought us rib tips, yeah he stored it in a cooler and drove from St. Louis to TN to serve this at the wedding. To go along with this entree was green beans, greens, spaghetti, and some sweet a@# Koolaid, oh yeah and a little whop sided cake. On the tables where small burning candles with balloons and plants centered ever so nicely over the flame...can we say FIRE. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif We had a little take home gift, a book of matches with a Motel 6 appeal with some glitter on the table that got on my suit and I was....oh excuse me I'm rambling.

Wedding 2
Thank goodness I didn't make to the reception. I heard about this one from my co-workers.
The bride and groom had ghetto families. The groom's family didn't like the bride. The bride's family didn't like the groom's family because they didn't like the bride. Are you all with me? At the reception the groom's sister made a smart remark to the bride and it was on. Shoes flying, tables turned over and they were kicked out of the reception hall. The owners of the reception hall told everyone in the place to get out.

Ya know!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Jail pose in pictures is fine eclipse, my hubby and his fellas did that but NOT in the CHURCH! I wouldn't want that in my video. There are a bit too many ghetto wedding stories!

YES!!!!!

Lawd, how could I forget one of my boys from high schools wedding. She was about 3 months pregnant when they decided to get married. Now the night before the wedding, I asked him if he loved her. His answer was she was there for me when I needed her. So that sets the stage.

Ok, the wedding was actually at the the bride's parent's house. A very, very, small townhouse. The wedding was late, and the father comes down the stairs and annonces to us all that the wedding would have started on time, but he forgot his shotgun. He said it in a joking manner, but I was like bra, we can fight our way out of here. My other friend, had actually parked his truck near the front of house, just in case we had to duck out. The bride's family hated my friend, and thus hated all of us with him.

After the wedding was over and the bride recieved the gifts and money, don't you know that the father made the daughter pay him rent for her room that she was living in.

She had to dig into the funds that people had just given her, and pay him. I was like, no way I would do that. And the two of them were leaving to go to New Orleans right afther that.

They aren't together anymore. I still say we should have just faught our way out.

hey sistah friends and guys...

nupe4life....

i feel all ghetto-ostracized cause i am a product of the a few ghetto weddings...

this past november i was selected as the mc (mistress of ceremonies) for my best friends wedding in miami, florida.

now miami happens to the the ghettoiest city out of all the states besides new orleans, nyc, la and the other little country towns that lurk...gold teeth, leather shorts and all.

i had the pleasure of witnessing trick daddy and trina (friends of the groom) drop by and pay homage in a drop top benz, blasting that florida song get f*cked up*
for all those dade county people.

i had the pleasure to witness the groom and his part pimp strut down the aisle to a slow jam (i can't remember the name of it for the life of me)

i had the pleasure of witnessing the wedding party except the bride and groom getting drunk off henny, cisco (yes they had cisco) http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif and remy in the back seat of a hummer limo.

i had the pleasure of watching a whole bunch of drunk groom's men (all with gold and platinum teeth) acting up when I was announcing the wedding party. then the dj, blasted ever single one of luke skywalker songs that have been banned all over the place....needless to say the families were appalled. but all the little kids rushed to the dance floor and were doing the latest bootie hump.

we won't even get into hair styles...cause a few horses were running around dag near bucket naked freezing in Miami.....


this has me laughing hysterically...

but i have to say i love my ghetto folks...they keep it real.

OK y'all I read a lot about ghetto weddings but I can guarantee I can top that http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Last summer I was a bridesmaid in my college room mate's wedding. First off, the wedding took place in the middle of July in Florida...hello it was like 105. Anyway, We (the wedding party) had to be at the church an hour early get this to have alterations done on the home made bridesmaid dresses we had to pick up the night before! Well the wedding was supposed to start at 4:00 but it started at 6:00 http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/redface.gif One of the bridesmaid’s dresses had to be held up by another brides maid because the strap broke. Then the groomsmen walked down the aisle in a pimp stroll with canes and top hats to "I swear" by AZ yet. Their suits looked like a godfather movie http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif The minister conducted prayer like 6-7 times before he pronounced them man and wife. Y'all I consider myself pretty religious but I have never had that much church in my life! He preached as if it was Easter Sunday morning! He constantly repeated "Lawd help so and so and so and so understand the institution of marriage because gawd help me they know nothing about marriage or what they are getting into" It was like he had a fight with his wife before the ceremony. There was only one limo, a stretch Navigator for 20 people (the bride, her mom, the groom, his mom and the wedding party), did I mention that the Navigator did not have air conditioning and it was like 105 in July in Florida.Then to make matters worse the Limo got lost going to the reception hall. Then the reception was a trip first the choreographed entrance then the food was like cold cut platters, store bought potato salad and Cole slaw, potato chips and salsa and a sheet cake with their names on it! The grooms ex girlfriend showed up in a see through lace pantsuit that resembled my grandmothers curtains. She was giving the bride nasty looks so the maid of honor the bride's sister threaten to beat her up right before the good luck toast http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

C****CAN WE SAY....

GHETTO! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif****

DANG, SISTA, WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TAPE THAT WEDDING FIGHT?! I WOULDA PAID MADD CHEDDA TO SEE THAT MESS. I BET THAT SCENE WOULDA BEEN BETTER THAN A PAY-PER-VIEW WWF SMACKDOWN!

Anyhow, I doubt if my story can compare to any of yours, but here goes:

I attended my sister's wedding 3 years ago. While everyone was color coordinated, the best man sang the wedding song of '97 "Only for You"--not sure of exact title (there was an English and Spanish version of it). Anyway, we had 2 receptions, one in the same room as the ceremony (potluck meal was in the back of the ceremony room, guests were seated to the left of the potluck tables and the altar was 20 feet in front of the first row (an L-shaped formation, if you will). So after the ceremony and reception #1, we went to the groom's brother's house for reception #2, where we ate more food, there was plenty of hard liquor, and kids playing and getting dirty in their Sunday's best".

I went to two weddings last year and thank God neither were anything near my sister's. The bride and groom btw, were in their late 30's.

Just my .02 cents

Oh yeah, I forgot the most ghetto piece of information. During the reception, the groom's brothers did a toast. They were saying how they were gonna miss their brother. They said and I quote, "we use to be a trio, now we're a twoo" that's two-o! I didn't think that was a word at all. Man by this point I had completely lost it. And yes I can agree with the sister who said how much they prayed. I was like damn, if this man prays one more time I'm gonna die. There was so much ghettoness that I'm sure I'm missing something so I'll try to remember some of it.

I SEE WHY I HAVE NOT BEEN TO A GHETTO WEDDING, CAUSE IF I HAD...

WOE UNTO THOSE FOLKS...I'D BE A STONE CHARACTER up in that place!

You all have totally tripped me the *bleep* out! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/eek.gif

I am too thankful I have missed out! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I must say that I have never been to a ghetto wedding...oops unless you count the one I went to about 2 years ago.

The bride was a friend of mine from grade school. I get to the chuch and I see one of my girlfriends sitting on the grooms side. I walk over and was like why you sitting over here. She and her mom were like we felt sorry for the groom because no one was on his side. So I sat over there with them. It was the 3 of us and that was it. Finally the groom gets to the church and a few more of his peeps show up, but not that many.

The bride is late, we find out later that the bride and bridesmaids are in a limo and it had broken down. The bridesmaids dresses were truly,can u say U-G-L-Y.

Once we are at the reception, which was held at another church (why not just have it at the church where the wedding was).

I'm looking for some hors d'oeuvre (sp) because that wedding was way to long and a sista is a little hungry. I talking to the peeps at my table because we all knew each other, and come to find out, the hors d'oeuvres were some mints that were on the table. You know the mints that they put out at Christmas that are different colors. You know the ones that melt in your mouth.

Well next comes the food, did I mention that we ate off plastic plates. Did I mention that the juice fountain ran out of juice. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif Did I also mention that they started running out of food before everyone was out of the buffet line.

Did I mention that when the bride was dancing with her father and the groom was dancing with his mom, she (his mom) had on big fuzzy slippers http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif her feet hurt y'all. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

Did I also mention that the groom was walking around the reception with the brides veil on his head talking bout " he rides motorcycles" vroom,vroom, I swear y'all he was going vroom, vroom. Last but not least, did I mention when we went to look at the groom's ring, the ring didn't fit and he had it on his pinky finger. I'm sorry, but it didn't even go all the way on his pinky finger.

Okay, that's all, but that is enuf!!

LOL

Okay..**wiping the tears from my eyes** I think I might have a lil' som'in to add. BTW, NUPE4LIFE, I think you and I attended a few of the same weddings. I have been to a few ghetto weddings BUT picutre this..... (Mother's Day)....

1. We were sitting in this SMALL church waiting for 2 1/2 hours for the ceremony to begin. The bride had 15 attendants and so did the groom in this S-M-A-L-L church. The church was so small that the wedding party did not even have room to fully march down the aisle before they were bumping into other participants coming from a different direction. Once they were in line, the attendants were in the front and wrapped around the side aisle.

2. The maid of honor (one of the bride's sisters) decided that she wanted to wear the same backless, around the neck dress that everyone else was wearing...did I mention she's a good 320-350 lbs.....oops!

3. The church was so small, the ushers kept pushing my husband and I up closer until my husband was sitting where? ON THE SAME ROW AS THE GROOM'S MOTHER.

4. This wedding had an MC also

5. The pastor (bride's godfather) had on much ghetto gold and a sharkskin suit with a process.

6. One of the bridesmaids obviously forgot where she was and decided to give the bride a shout out in the middle of the ceremony
" You go (so and so)!!!"

7. But the ultimate was when the bride's brother so proudly pulled out the movie screen and slide projector in the middle of this SMALL church and showed all of these GHETTO pictures of the bride and groom..yes the jail pose, the hooch pose (w/ the miniskirt and legs crossed), and the infamous pictures in front of the airbrushed sheets of cars, Mickey Mouse, etc. By then I was no more good!!!!!!! I could not hold in the laughter anymore.

8. Oh gosh, I forgot...once the wedding was over. We all filed outside and what did we see...7 stretch limos outside!!!!!

A TWOO?? LOL!!! That is hilarious!! I've heard it all now!

Why do they pay so much for these limo Navigators and Hummers and then have no FOOD!
Why is thread 2 pages long? Why are tears in my eyes from laughing so hard? Why did I come home from work and log on to see if any more ghettoness was posted!!! Mamabuda yours takes the cake. Woo.

Okay:

My friend from college had a very beautiful wedding. It was an AFrican Wedding (attire and traditions). Well all was well, but then it got ghetto.

AT the reception the bride and groom were served. Mind you there were no hors d'ourves. Well everyone was patient, then after about half an hour folx got suspicious. When her maid of honor inquired as to when (at least) the wedding party would be served, she said they weren't eating. Only the bride and groom were. WHAT? I was hot. I have never heard of this before.

Okay, I'm done.

BTW, two-o is a word...if you're GHETTOOOOOOOOOOOO http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Nupe4life, An MC & Nike Sandals!! ROTFLOL!! Fo' real, doe, you don't understand how uncomfortable some of those shoes are!! LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Now as for me, I love weddings. I love attending them, I love being in them as a bridesmaid and I loved being a bride (and I am not the kind of person that likes being the center of attention or enjoys dressing up.) However, I have seen some things that will make you go hummmmmm:

1. The weddings that are 2 - 3 hours late getting started because the bride is still getting her "hur did" or because they are still sewing the bridesmaids dresses. I know some folks still believe in 'fashionably late', but come on!!

2. The wedding where the ceremony and the reception were held in the same room and 45 minutes after the wedding was supposed to start the bride (in her dress, tennis shoes and rollers) and her mother comes in with large chafing dishes of greens, fried chicken, etc. for the reception. We had to smell it the entire ceremony.

3. Choreographed bridal party entrances--nuff said!

4. I wasn't there, but I heard about a wedding where the groomsmen and the groom wore hats (I think derbys) during the wedding and had to be told by the minister to take them off.

5. And the most ghetto of all....At one wedding I attending the bride's sister (and maid of honor) gave a "toast" to the couple and after wishing them well and saying how much she liked her new brother in law, proceeded to tell him, in no uncertain terms, what she would do to him if he 'messed up'. It was obvious that she was not joking. I was scared for him. The bride was nodding her head throughout the entire thing!! LOL

How 'bout a bride who came down the aisle with a microphone in her hand singing Monica's "For you I will"? Now that's ghetto!

that DEFINITELY sounds like a wedding my ghettofabulous miami folks would throw....LMBAO

I've been to a wedding like that. Lawd.

Eclipse - I think we've been to a few of the same weddings. The groomsmen with the derbys (tilted to the side like true playas)
and the choregraphed entrances...Woo.

Reading all these posts, make me realize that I have been to other ghetto affairs. Okay get this peeps, one of my grandmother's god daughters got married the summer of '99. I love this women to death, she's like an aunt to me. But let me just say that she's almost 50 years old and has been married 5 times. She had a wedding like she was a 20 something bride getting married for the first time. Can we say that she was a little too old and have been around the block too many times for this. And instead of gifts for her and the bride, they asked from their dear friends and family members food for the reception. I SWEAR TO GOD! I am not making this up. I know you guys are like, N4L you have got to be lying. I'm not. I guess I know too many ghetto people. I repeat, INSTEAD OF WEDDING GIFTS, THEY ASKED FOR FOOD FOR THE RECEPTION! I hate going to weddings where you know they trying to have a royal wedding on a food stamp budget. People let's get it together. Either you're gonna have a very small and cheap wedding and a nice reception, or a large wedding and a small reception for family and friends. Don't try to be big time when you know you can't.

"you finna be my wife for the rest of my life"

yes i am proud to say i participated in many ghetto weddings....and will in the future, i make a fantastic MC. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

but let me tell you what takes the cake...

*i am about to get ghettoified*

what the the favorite dance at all weddings???

the electric slide, of course

now whenever the dj puts on one of those songs you can do the electric slide, too. why does everybody bumrush the floor...old people included. then you always have that one old man dressed like dolomite from back in the days...we'll call him "sugar daddy" that follows you around saying "hey there girl, i can do that too, see!"

then of course getting back to the electic slide...can i tell you there are about 1913 different versions of the electric slide. i swear i can't keep up.


but do you really really really want to know what takes the cake????

sitting in the pew at church and watching a flower girl about the size of a gorilla (Alpha's no pun intended) pelt flowers down the aisle. i swear this little girl was 10 but bigger than me and i stand a cool 5'7.
(it must be something in the water because kids now and days are big as hell)

Hey, have any of you see the pictures that are making the rounds with the bride in the Red dress with white fur for trim and the groom in the white tails and red bow tie and cummerbund? They were toooo funny. There was one picture of them toasting each other with those huge champagne glasses that you could win at an amusement park back in the day and folks would display in their houses. I wish I had saved them!!
