Most weddings I've been too I was super young so I don't really have a memory for it. But I wanna say my freshman or sophomore year of high school, the wife of the family friends called me and my sister during winter break to help her set up for a wedding the night before.. When we got to the church we finally learned the story... (mind you the groom is family friends with our family friends)
The bride and groom only knew each other for about a month and a half, and decided to get married! There are rumors as to why so quickly (she may or may not been pregnant was one of them that I remember) and that they needed help to obviously decorate the night before for the wedding. So the next day me and my parents end up going, and I remember that the "here comes the bride" song was played on a CD/ Ipod and when the bride and groom walked out "Differences" by Ginuwine played (I was so bad and just started cracking up cause I didn't know any better)
After that, pictures took FOREVER and the reception started, they then needed people to help serve food so my parents volunteered me and I was on my feet for about an hour/hour and a half helping other family friends. I think the best part was the speeches that the groomens and bridemaids and family members were making, they all started with..
" I never got to meet the groom.. BUT... I Bet he is...."
"I never got to meet the bride.. BUT... I bet she is..."
Me and my parents just kept looking at each other and was like "oh...okay..."
They actually lasted longer then I thought! It ended up being 2.5 years. One time when I met up with the family friends I was told that he finally divorced her (after having 2 kids of course!)
Then last year (actually the day after bid day!) My sister oldest friend from high school got married and my sister was a bridesmaid. That was one of the best weddings I've been too and I'm glad!
