As for ghetto wedding stories...I was in one 2 weeks ago...my cousin was the bride (hereafter referred to as bridezilla). Here are a couple of the lowllights...
-we (bridal party) arrive 2:30 pm (for a 2 o'clock wedding), groom arrives at 3pm-service still can't start because officiant (grooms brother in law) STILL hasn't arrived!!!
and when he does at 3:30pm he isn't even dressed!! (now he had to drive 6 hours from his house to get here - at some point you KNEW you wouldn't be in NY at 2pm-CALL COLLECT-say something!!)
-Wedding ceremony was over in 10 minutes because we had to be out of the space at 4pm sharp!! After I mention this is crazy after all this money wasted the ceremony was so short and rushed why did MOH tell me the bride and groom were married 2 days ago and this is just for show because BIL isn't licensed to perform ceremony in NY (so why in hades did we have to wait??!!)
ESPECIALLY since he didn't attend the rehearsal and had placed himself exactly opposite of how we had rehearsed.
-all along we were told the grooms friend who is a photographer was supposed to take pictures-after the rushed ceremony a man with a camera strapped on his shoulder (who didn't show up at brides house for any of the before pictures) made a big deal of grouping us together and then pulled out a disposable camera-with my fourth nerve throbbing I ask where the devil is the real photographer?? It takes a minute before we realize this is the so-called photographer who weakly responded "Well I don't know how to use this other camera!"-he carried THE GROOMS Cannon 35mm camera (not automatic-a professional one you have to load) around the rest of the day-he clicked..sometimes the flash went off, most times it didn't...not sure if any pictures came out...
-Reception that was suppossed to start at 4pm STILL doesn't start until 6pm because no one bothered to check that the oven at the hall was not available for use-so food had to be taken back home to recook in oven...(instead of taking care of stuff at the hall all the "helpers" were at the site because they all had to see the wedding and didn't bother to mention that none of the hot food was heated)
-cake arrived from bakery at 5:30....
- bridezilla had to open cards in the bathroom looking for cash to pay the dj (when I suggested she write the amounts on the envelopes so she can send thank you cards she asked me "why do I have to send thank you cards?"
-not holding breath for that one)- I had three nerves left at this point....
-at 8:10 when I tell bridezilla that we have to wrap it up she still doesn't comprehend that we only have space until 9pm-that means everything has to be out at 9pm so unless you are going to pay money for additional time you have to get out-they don't care that you've only had a 2 hour reception...she starts to open the champaign bottles because "we have to drink it now".....I grab a bottle and stop myself from hitting her....tell her to take the damn bottles home and bathe in them-I don't care...but move out of the way, stop opening bottles so we can pack up this stuff and get out of here...two nerves left.... she gets mad at me and stomps outside....I over hear her making plans to meet her girls at the local club later that nite
I knew it would be ghetto from the start...just not THIS ghetto.....its hard being the ebony sheep in the family.
Since ya'll revived the thread thought I'd update ya...married July 03 the happy couple is now separated...bride found out groom was cheating on her New Years Day (04)...gave him a black eye & moved out in March(still don't know what took so long). As of this month they are currently "dating" to see if they can work it out!! All of this drama before hitting the one year mark.
