Worst Wedding You've Ever Attended

All this Communion talk is super interesting and confusing and makes me kinda glad I'm an atheist who was never baptized and thus can't take any communion anywhere ever, even if I wanted to (I don't).

But as a child I went to my BFF's Catholic church with her after sleepovers all the time, until about age 8 when it got too embarrassing to be one of the only people sitting in the pew with the "babies" when everyone else (including BFF) got up to take communion. Oh well, I was pretty bored there anyway, mostly just wanted the donuts they served after.

We went to a string of weddings a few years ago - 11 in 4 months!! They ranged from very elegant church/country club affairs to modest backyard events. Each was special and I can appreciate couples trying to stay within their budget.

HOWEVER, one of the weddings we attended was a backyard event in August in inland southern California, the bride was five months pregnant. As we walked up to the house, the groom and his party were drinking beer from the front yard keg. After the ceremony the toasting begins and the bride makes a huge announcement that they are having a boy and gave his name. By then, the DJ had set up and the bride straps on a huge apron and announces the money dance and that she expects her apron to be filled with nothing but $20's. The music starts and everyone just stares at her. Finally, her new father-in-law goes and pays for a dance and then her dad, then her new brother-in-law - that was it. Talk about crass!.
