OK, it was like this: my cousin, the ex, and I all grew up as members of the same church. Now the ex had an OK singing voice (Donnie McClurkin he ain't) and the church always asked him to sing at services all the time. B/C of this attention, he got to be a bit conceited; strutting around the church like he the best thing there. Anyway, he and my cousin dated all through high school and he dumped her as soon as some pretty new girl joined the church and was fawning all over him. My cousin was hurt, but she still cared about him.
Now, FF to when she met her hubby. He joined the church and they started dating. He didn't care for the ex, but was civil to him anyway.
When we were planning this wedding, my cousin invited everyone at the church in addition to family, friends, co-workers, etc. The groom told the ex that he had no problem with his being invited to the wedding, but he did not have their permission to sing, 'cuz you know he asked.
So with his little feathers all ruffled because somebody didn't want to hear his singing, he decides to totally disrespect my cousin and her hubby by singing ANYWAY. That's why he almost got his azz beat down at the altar.
