Ghetto Wedding Stories

[OrangeMoon]

Awww the poor cows that have taken that trip to the Upper Room. They are looking down on their hide gone to waste for a harlot and a jackleg preacher.

[Sister Havana]

Tackiest. Wedding. EVER.

Knowing the background (a preacher and a pregnant mistress) makes that all worse!

I will say that that is the most ginormous wedding party I have ever seen. What is with two little girls dressed as brides?

The half of the church that stayed was in the wedding party! How many flower girls, bridesmaids, etc does one wedding need

Let's just say that New Salem Church has lost about half of their congregation because of this.

The Dress
My cousin wedding that I tried to coordinate but you can not take the ghetto out of people. She wore decorated gym shoes with her wedding gown, had 71 rhino stones on her finger nails with mood nail polish. She had a wrap to cover her arms made out of lace....can you say no lace nowhere on the dress.

The Program & Invitations
Her mother messed up the programs...can you say portrait printing instead of landscape printing. And refused to mail the cute invitations that I came in to work on a Saturday with my kids to do. She said they were too small. She change the time on the invitation to reflect CP time. Example…wedding set to start at 11:00 am but put 10:00 on invitation. She mailed the invitations on Wednesday or Thursday for the Saturday wedding. Did I say she mess them up to. She would not even show them to me.

Centerpieces
He mother tried to Elmer glue the candle inside the vases instead of melting the candle at the bottom. So, all the candles were falling over. And the white glue was all at the bottom of the vases.


The Bridesmaid Dress
I put this together in like 3 weeks so I showed her a picture of a dress and that I could get in that amount of time in everyone sizes. Now with 3 week notice we were trying to stay under $115.00. He seen the dress and did not like it so they go out three days before the wedding. I told her fine change it but take the girls with you. She did not. You have to go up two size for formal wedding dress they are cut different. She picks up the dress the day of the Rehearsal. We get to the rehearsal and the dresses will not close. All the dresses were too small. The wedding is the next morning. They are halter top dress so, most of the girls did not have a halter bra just lying around. (use you imagination). About 3:00 am the night before they had to "find" someone who could fit the dress. None of the dresses were altered. So, they had to walk down the aisle holding the dead rose and there dress up.

Limo
He wanted a limo but could not afforded bouquet so they all walked down the aisle with single half dead roses. She carried a decorated Bible. They had decided to make the reception later that evening. So no one seen them leave the church in the limo and the time was up for the limo before reception.

The Ceremony
All the bridesmaid got down the aisle without tripping over there dresses. When she walked down the groom looked like “what is that coming at me”. She looked a hot mess (please see above description)
My sister got them a Unity Candle and they did not know to cut the wick apart so they did not light them
The church had to approve all song to be song. The groom refused to have his guy sing at rehearsal and with good reason. Why was the song a bump and grind type song? At the end the Pastor said you may now for the first time legally kiss your bride
Everything I did her mother went and undone. It was a complete waste on my time. But she’s married ya’ll.

The Reception
The reception went fine. The food was good. But the groom refused to do the garter toss and did not want her to toss the bouquet. Talking about he been married before and did not want to do it again. One of the church member went and had a talk with him and he final did it. They did not have a DJ or any entertainment. He was just going to play music in the intercom system. That was fine it is in the church fellowship hall. They had to tell the groom to stop playing certain types of music. Did I mention he was a minister at this church?

Ok.
I can understand wanting to go all out for your wedding, but with this setup, you'd think the trumpets were going to blow, the angels were going to come down from the sky and start singing...

Did anyone catch the video/camera person standing in the center of the aisle and what she was wearing? Looks like (page 7 of the ceremony, 4th row down,1st &2nd pictures and 5th row 1st picture) a tube top and jeans. Very tacky and UN-PROFESSIONAL if that's the case. I's hard to tell what the fabric really is but it looks like jean material. Regardless, a photographer should ALWAYS wear a (comfortable) suit or tux (formals). In this business IMAGE is EVERYTHING.

Also, The 2nd photographer is not doing a good job because s/he took pictures with the other photographer in it.

My sister just sent me this link of her FORMER pastor's wedding ceremony. He divorced his wife and married his mistress (who is
pregnant) this past Saturday. This is another case of "Do as I say and not what I do."

P.S. This is a ghetto fabolous wedding. She (the wife) wore a $40,000 white LEATHER wedding with a mink trim (It was 96 degrees on Saturday) and the bridesmaids wore black leather dresses. Each bridesmaid received a 3 karat diamond tennis bracelet as an attendant's gift. The groomsman had "pimp" canes. Let's just say that New Salem Church has lost about half of their congregation because of this.

BTW: some people protested the church being used as the wedding site given the nature of their union. Some had signs that said "You can't make a ho into a housewife but you can make one the First Lady of New Salem"

It looked like some of the bridesmaids were going to work on a street corner after the reception. The scepters they were holding didn't add any classiness to the outfits.

I thought it was funny that in most of photos the bride was always blocked in some way by groom so you couldn't see how pregnant she really was.

HOW DID I MISS THIS POST?? wth??? that's the messiest of mess i've ever heard of!!!

[Wine&SilverBlue]

sorry to crash but did you hear about britney's wedding? i saw pictures online and the groomsmen were wearing white jumpsuits that said "pimps" on the back (his dad's said "pimp daddy") and her mom and 13 year old sister wore pink juicy sweatsuits that said "hoes" on the back.

OMG

I don't know if that was the rehearsal or the real wedding but that was extremely trashy. (Plus, the article said they served chicken fingers and played music from a boom box)

whaaat?
