I have tears in my eyes. I was part of a real ghetto wedding. I should of know when I met my cousin soon to be wife. Well, to let it be know my cousin is a Kappa so I knew I was wearing a red dress. No complaints out of me because I agreed to it. But his soon to be wife had a matching nose ring along with her enagement(sp) ring. She had more weave than Mr. Ed but I knew this was the woman that he loved so I went along with it. I went with her to pick out the dresses because I am a woman of large build so I let it be know you are not going to have me looking like a fool.
The dresses were cool but she wanted us to wear red stockings with red shoes and white gloves and a DAMN TIARA (sp). What type of hot mess is that?
I called my cousin and told him I am not going out like that. He spoke to her and she call me yelling this is her day and I am going along with the program or be out!! Because my and cousin are I are close I bit my lip and went along.
Well the big day came along and the mother of the bride was no wear to be found. Mind you I look like a big candy stripe on the wrong holiday. The mother had a game of bowling to attend and showed in in her league uniform. Mind she was drunk.Her side of the family was like we think we are uppity. And the dirty looks started. My grandmother god rest her soul, told us to be ready. (Damn Nanny don't cut folks here) but she told us to hold our heads high and rise to the occasion.
My cousin LB's and chapter brothers were spinning their kanes after the announcement of man and wife. They began to toss them and one flew by my ear. Just in general I was too through with the church cememory. The reception was really nice.
My family clown me for days. But my cosuin and his wife stayed married as long as Pat stayed in the army. I do not gloat over break ups but I was so glad when he left her.
I will never again I will be part of a ghetto wedding.
P.S. that is not true about being in part of a ghetto wedding because my friend last year sucker me into one and her flowers were made from the supermarket and I had to pick up in my bride maid dress standing on a check out line and had to fine my way to the wedding and reception was at the church and the only music was play was gospel. She did not even have a first dance.
