Bringing both topics together....

My younger brother got married last December and has Asperger's Syndrome (a high-functioning form of autism) to a woman with similar traits. I say all that to say that the ceremony was pretty ghetto, but being the best man in the wedding party, it went in such a way that only a family such as ours could pull it off. And I had a good time nonetheless.

First the wrong music played when the bride came down the aisle (the traditional wedding "departure" music), then when everyone left, "Here Comes the Bride" played. *LOL*

The reception was held in a small house presumably a former parsonage since it was right in front of the church, where about 50-60 of us crammed in three rooms and ate a dinner that my mother prepared at home--delicious. Ham, green beans, and mac and cheese (and I almost didn't get any since it ran out so soon--I had to eat the mac & cheese that my nephew didn't want, but it was better than nothing). I ate 4 slices of wedding cake to compensate. Then the bride and groom were whisked away to a fancy downtown hotel to spend their honeymoon. We didn't dance or party or anything like that--b/c there was no room to do it. But danggoneit, being it was December, the day was mighty COLD! Anyhow...

But I enjoyed being the best man and my younger brother had a great time, and that's all that matters.

Having said all that, I hope my wedding isn't nearly as ghetto

ETA: Because of their handicap, there were not legally married; they just had a formal ceremony and a signed wedding certificate, no marriage license.
