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.  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.

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
