My good friend had a wedding some years ago. The ceremony was beautiful. At the reception, her mom was walking around with no shoes on, with a glass of champagne IN EACH HAND- clinking the glass together saying "I'M FREE!" *clink clink* "I'M FREE!" ...LOL. Then the dj says "the bride and groom would like to dedicate the following song to their families"....*song blasting* "Y'all gon make me lose my mind up in here, up in here..." I about fell out. The families had obviously been driving each other crazy prior to the wedding. (This was not a "minority" couple either.)

1) Not many people look good in a dress that is cut in the "mermaid" style. The bride is not one of them, and WTH with the mink? That looks like something a madam in a old west movie would wear. The headpiece/veil WTF? How dare she wear white and a veil and marry in a church when she is pregnant out of wedlock with a married man's child. HELL NAW.

2) The black leather cleavage halter neck dresses are . Just NO. I'm all for letting people chose what they want for their wedding but that doesn't mean I'd consent to wearing it. There is fur and leather on the dresses YUCK. The giant metal collar necklaces, GROSSITATING.

3) Someone was in a PONCHO and we all know my feelings on PONCHOS.

4)Sunglasses on one of the guys during the ceremony, PLEASE!

5) I am so confused about the girl in white with the marabou trim on her dress and head. Is she there to carry the train, junior bridesmaid?

6) I think a guy in a suit with a red vest, holding a red bandana, is wearing red hightops. I immediately thought Ronald McDonald clown shoes.

7) Statues on the fruit table? Ugleeeeee.

The best picture is the last one in the reception area, the lady that caught the bouquet, she's so cute. I hope she gets her man. The little kids were cute as all get out. One thing I thought I'd see is the bride and her girls "dropping it like its hot" at the reception, but I think they had the reception at the church so that would be a no.

Those were crimson and cream GATORS or GATOResque. . . I thought he was in a gang with THAT Bandana.

When I saw it was New Salem, I was like NOT MY NEW SALEM but alas it is NOT MY CHURCH HOME.

That preacher does look jackleg and a whole bunch of other things.

Did you all see the little girls with full blown makeup on?
They had more candles at that wedding than on a 100 year old's birthday cake.
Those bridesmaids looked like an ad -- BOOTY FOR SALE.
So many comments, so many pictures, so little time.

I don't care how expensive the bride's gown was - it is plug-ugly!!
Did you notice the pic of the bride and groom with, I guess, one of the mothers? Poor ole mom looked like she was in shock.
Those bridesmaid dresses looked like ladies' night at the leather bar!

Oooh. I was thinking the same thing. I know all about those jack-leg preachers. You know Kentucky is right on "the line", so we have a lot of those sayings too . That wedding is a hot a-- mess!

i take it to mean the same as bootleg but I could be wrong.

Well Feef, if it's the same as what we call boot-leg, it's someone that's not the "real deal", so to speak. A wannabe, a faker, in it for what they can get without considering others involved.

If it's not the same as what we call boot-leg, then you have another definition for the day!

[MeezDiscreet]

jackleg is, more or less, a shady preacher. one who is too flashy or deceptive or maybe even in it for the money. and even if he isn't, he LOOKS like he is.

preachers that wear a bunch of jewelry = jackleg.

preachers who have people donate AT LEAST 2 times for the first offerring because they didn't "reach the goal" = jackleg.

preachers who get divorced to marry their pregnant mistress in the church while the wedding party wears black leather dresses and the bride wears white leather, although she's pregnant, with fur trim = jackleg.

[Steeltrap]

Did you realize that's a $40K LEATHER dress that she was wearing in 90-plus degree heat?

Trey ghettois.

Thanks for all the definitions.

Now back to the regularly scheduled thread....

[lil_sunshine]

That whole farce was a

GHETTOFANTABULOUS HOT @$$ MESS!!!!!!!!!

Not only the bride's dress, but the bridesmaids' dresses were horrendous!!! How do you wear leather at a wedding, much less in 90+ degree heat!!!!!!!!!!

the best part was your continuing narration of your deteriorating nerves dealing with this

although it's not quite GWS material, I was talking with someone yesterday who said that during her wedding reception her veil briefly caught on fire after touching one of the candles on the head table.

"the bride, the bride, the bride is on fire, she don't need no water... "

hands down, this is the BEST thread in Greekchat.

I wonder if the bride is a dominatrix...hmm
