I recently went to my guys wedding. Hes classy guy like most sigmas (LOL), Hes married this girl, who to say the least is not at his educational level, needless to say, the wedding was a circus of ghetto people on one side, and class on the other...
BUT the climax,
some girl, with long, really long nails and a tight, too tight brown dress got a little drunk at the reception, and basicaly was making her rounds with most of the guys. She then started to mess with this one guy, whose girlfriend and, i think, friend of the bride, saw it. well GOOD LAWD, let me tell you, things got UGGGLLLLLYYYYY....ALL i saw was women beating this girl down, the her girls jumped in, i saw flowers here and there, bridesmaids dresses torn off, weaves on the table

DANG, THEO, WHY DIDN'T YOU TAPE THAT MESS??!!
You coulda downloaded it to a RealPlayer file and let us see it. We can use a good laugh every now and then. Shoot, Jerry Springer would have paid you big bucks to air that on TV.
OK, this really isn't ghetto per se, but it does convey a serious message.
A few weeks ago, i attended a wedding of my pastor's mother, who is 74 years old and was marrying a deacon after being widowed for over 20 years. The bridesmaids and groomsmen (all grand or great-grandchildren of the bride), wore color coordinated outfits (no tuxedos or formal dresses). Not a problem. The ceremony went very well overall.
The problem I had was with the reception. About halfway through the reception, they ran out of food. While I did get to eat, my table was the last table that was able to do so. There were still two tables of guests who was still waiting to eat. It got to the point that the pastor had to have someone go to the Olive Garden to buy more food that was paid for out of the pastor's pocket (it was an all-pasta type meal). It got to the point that he even had the non-eating guests get first crack at the wedding cake (rightfully so all things considered)
There was a very good reason why this took place, and it had nothing to do with the wedding planners or the preparation: It was because guests who were continuously told to RSVP if they were going to attend did not do so. Thus there were more guests in attendance than who RSVPed. I will never forget the sad/disappointed look in the pastor's eyes when this situation came to a head. BTW, I did RSVP, albeit on the last day to do so.
Needless to say, the food from Olive Garden came promptly and everyone had a meal.
Moral to the story: Please RSVP and encourage your friends and relatives who will attend a wedding to do the same thing. It is for a reason.
