That picture does make it hard to tell. I can't tell who's wearing the veil.

I edited and made it as big as it could go. . .maybe the bride was inside placing the order.

Oh my dayums @ the picture.

There's no White Castle on that corner (maybe it's a little further down Myrtle Ave.), just Kum Kau Chinese Restaurant (yummy!!

).

Regardless, oh my dayums @ the picture. LMBO!!!

Maybe it is a little further down...but that is a Brooklyn WC.

When you're getting married it's YOUR day. If they wanted to stop and get some chicken rings before the reception...hey!

Y'all, I went to a wedding this weekend and the bride had Christmas lights in her bouquet. Not only that, EVERYBODY pimped down the aisle to Kelly Price's "He proposed to me". People was testifying in the church like it was church service. ANDDDDDD, at the reception it looked like a backyard BBQ. (ya know paper plates, napkins, and plastic forks).

Now this was a wedding that I saw the tape of but didn't attend, so I'm going to try and remember the details.

One of my older cousins (on the ghetto side of the family) was getting married for about the 3rd time in 2 years. I don't know why she decided to make a big to-do like she was 25 and tying the knot for the 1st time. The wedding was scheduled to start somewhere around 3, but it didn't get underway until at least 6. My father and uncle walked up the street and got fresh hair cuts and Harold's Chicken while they were waiting. The church was one of those tiny store front churches (w/no air) and it was the middle of the summer, so you know folks were burning up in there.

Anyway, the bridal party arrives around 6 pm. They don't have a professional sound system in the church, so the bride's son is in the back of the church w/a bomb box and a stack of CDs trying to make something happen. The minister comes in dressed like a Catholic Bishop, complete w/the tall hat, long robes, and staff.

. Then he gets to praying in this high-pitched, wining (sp?)/singing type of voice. He sings the prayer for about 10 min. So they stumble through the remainder of the ceremony pretty uneventfully, and everything is going alright...until the reception.

They had rented a car instead of a limo (but I'll allow that b/c they don't have alot of money). How come, half way through the ceremony my cousin "Bug" ( I swear to God, I don't know what his real name is.), says he's going to go fill up the gas tank on the rental car an COME RIGHT BACK! No one saw or heard hear from him for the rest of the night. My dad had to drive the bride and groom to the reception in his car. The reception was at the bride's mom's place...but they stay in a teeny, tiny 2-bedroom apt. in the ghetto. Now given that your place isn't that hot to begin with, I would think that you would at least clean up, right. Wrong! This place was full of clutter, like it was any old day of the week. To top it all off the bride's mom cooked like it was a regular family get together (meaning you roll through the kitchen and fix your own damn plate, and all the food is still sitting in the pot on the stove).

Yeah...gotta love "the other side" of the family.

No chittlin's but close.....

They had a "decent" menu
ham, fried chicken, swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes with a type of chicken broth gravy,mac-n-cheese, green beans, rolls, spaghetti salad, jello, RED punch (it was a powdery/icy blue-creme wedding) and cake.......

Yall when she came out **thread hijack***

HC, my mouth flew open and LOUDLY said EWWW lol
HC, the daddy AND bride was bouncin' yes bouncin' down the aisle?
HC, eeeerbody (in my ghetto voice) in the groom's party had braids

HC, they performed a salute (like the military does with swords) with their flowers and hands?
HC, the dresses were pretty but the flowers were not? Looks like SOMEbody went to the Dollar Tree....

***now we're back to our regularly scheduled thread*****

BTW, I don't know how to post a picture when you don't have it on a website.....

Why does that you like Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn?

RE: picture outside of White Castle...I don't think that is the one on Atlantic Ave...In any case count from the right-skip the group of guys...the bride is the second female from the left (standing next to woman in capri pants and backpack)....at least that looks like a veil to me...

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.
