Yes that is!!! LMAO at the bell ringers!

They did that at a wedding here in Mississippi!

Well my sister (in Illinois, where I'm from as well) and a couple of my Sorors (in Massachusetts and Georgia) had little girls to announce the bride is coming. Most people do not play "here comes the bride" anymore. I know I'm not having that played for me at my wedding next spring, but I will not have a bell ringer. But if you don't have "here comes the bride" played then it just can be another way to inform the guests that the bride is next. People at my sister's wedding thought it was very cute how our little cousin announced it. And what I think is that people mostly have it done becaue it is cute more than anything else.

Friday night (in the midst of celebrating the beggining of my v-cation, I followed a few colleagues. Where we were headed, I didn't really know.) Anyway....

We ended up at this "reception". I thought maybe the wedding had taken place earlier or whatever. When we got there it was like 9pm. The wedding itself I think started around 9. So let's say the reception was really just getting underway.

Anyway, someone got on the microphone and yelled..."I'm not trying to be funny or anything, but don't fix those to go plates yet, we are expecting other guests..."

I was too through. I was

for those who were attempting to fix a plate to go, even if they were not.

That's what I get for not following my first mind and do my own thing.

Ok yall, I have two examples of a ghetto weddings that I had attended within a span of a month.

Wedding #2 I knew this wedding was going to be ghetto when the church was built next to a liquer store. From what I heard from one of the groomsmen, the bridesmaids were mad because they couldn't dip and twirl down the aisle. You could tell that the two families didn't congregate with each other. Some of the bride's relatives looked like wannabe pimps and some of the female relatives had on prom dresses.

Please don't ask about the reception, lets just say ghetto.

I 'm actually sittin' here crying. That pimpin' down the aisle gets me everytime!

My friend's wedding was supposed to start @ 6pm. Why did, @ a quarter 'til 6, the bride and bridesmaids decide they were hungry and left to go get something to eat? Now, they didn't go to McD's or some other FAST food restaurant...these mofos went to Ryan's, sat down and ate buffet. Why didn't the wedding start until after 8? And why couldn't those mofos wait until the reception like everybody else?

A few months ago there was this story on the news about two couples who got married outside of Hardee's. They were all employees and met there. After they got married they went inside for their reception. They had on formal attire too.

I went to a wedding about 2 years ago...it was supposed to start at 3:00. At about 3:45, the mother of the bride gets on the mic and says, "Can yall come back in a couple hours cuz the bride's still at the hairdresser!" Okay, do you think I saw any part of that ceremony?!?!?!

Another wedding that I went to was beautiful..........until we got to the reception! Of course the food was cold, they had us drinking from plastic wine glasses, during the "$1 dance" (or whatever it's called), this gay man tried to dance with the groom, and get this..........when people starting leaving, they asked if we could help put the tables away and stack the chairs! Now that was a bit much for me!

This is by far, the funniest thread up here in GC. I have to always control my laughter when I read these hilarious as hell stories.

9dstpm · #**130** 08-04-2002, 11:44 PM

This thread is so FUNNY!!!! I was LMAO reading this at my desk and then I showed it to my co-workers and they were rolling right along with me.

This ghetto wedding was right in my own family. My ghetto cousin got married 5 years ago to an equally ghetto man and they had what I thought was such a ghetto wedding.

I was the maid of honor. All of our dresses matched (I saw to that). Here is where things started to go ghetto:

First of all, the ceremony started late. Why? The groom overslept and then had to go and get his hair cut. WTF?? Then he didn't look in the box from the tux shop until the day of and showed up in a navy blue coat with black pants. Then his groomsmen came down the aisle pimping, jail posing, profiling, you name it. Then WTF gave the bride's exboyfriend permission to sing to her during the ceremony?? Then the groom and the ex almost went to blows at the altar!!!

It gets worse: at the reception they had downhome (this is in Mississippi) food. Fried chicken, chitterlings, BBQ, neck bones, red Kool-Aid, the most ghetto stuff you can imagine. And the wedding party and I had to serve it all and by the time we got to eat, there was no more food!! Then the whole time, his best man kept looking at me like I was some biscuit he wanted to sop up with some syrup and kept asking me for my phone number. All I wanted was the phone number to the nearest Shoney's so I could eat!!

All I can say is that I caught the bouquet and I guess that stuff they say about being the next to marry is true, because I am getting married in February of 2003 and you can believe that it will be ghetto free!! This thread should be called "What Not To Do At Your Wedding"!!!!

OK, who invited the ex?

Congratulations on your wedding! Don't let it be ghetto because we WILL talk about you all up in here!

Actually the bride invited him to show him that she was being the "bigger person" since he dumped her prior to her meeting her hubby. But he couldn't just accept the invite graciously and/or stayed his behind at home. No, he had to sing some Keith Sweat mess.

Now I'm wondering......what was the groom's input, if any on Mr. Ex being invited??????

9dstpm · #**134** 08-05-2002, 02:50 PM

OK, it was like this: my cousin, the ex, and I all grew up as members of the same church. Now the ex had an OK singing voice (Donnie McClurkin he ain't) and the church always asked him to sing at services all the time. B/C of this attention, he got to be a bit conceited; strutting around the church like he the best thing there. Anyway, he and my cousin dated all through high school and he dumped her as soon as some pretty new girl joined the church and was fawning all over him. My cousin was hurt, but she still cared about him.

Now, FF to when she met her hubby. He joined the church and they started dating. He didn't care for the ex, but was civil to him anyway.
When we were planning this wedding, my cousin invited everyone at the church in addition to family, friends, co-workers, etc. The groom told the ex that he had no problem with his being invited to the wedding, but he did not have their permission to sing, 'cuz you know he asked.

So with his little feathers all ruffled because somebody didn't want to hear his singing, he decides to totally disrespect my cousin and her hubby by singing ANYWAY. That's why he almost got his azz beat down at the altar.

FeeFee · #**135** 08-05-2002, 04:38 PM

See 9dstpm, that's why some people just need to get one of those GP azz whuppings

You try to be civil to some folks, and they still wanna act up.
