Ghetto Wedding!!! (Y'all are Mean. :-D)

I am a former wedding crasher. Yes, I have crashed some weddings to be nosy & messy. *sigh* You've never been to wedding until you hear the gospel version All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo or see a wedding singer go rogue and makeup a song on the spot. And none of them started on time. I have a lifetime of laughs & memories. Until I can crash the weddings of celebrities, dignitaries or members of royalty, I will not be returning to the game. Time to crash up!!!  During that time, I became a staunch believer that people are going to have their weddings their way and that is okay. Once I saw this video circulate the interwebs (yes, bad slang) this week, my belief was tested and tried. Yet I still believe that  people are going to have their weddings their way and that is okay. Why? Because they still got married.

• The bride looks like a throwback to Thelma Fry in the series, Amen
  
• The groom has on a polo shirt and jeans
• The wedding venue is the courtyard of what looks to be public housing
• The minister is rather hilarious in his recitation of the 23 Psalms and during the vows & ring exchange
• The minister is also the wedding singer

It doesn't matter. This couple got married. Let's look at what didn't happen that is common at "better" weddings.

• No crying children walking down the aisle
• No inappropriate music being played
• The nuptial started on time (How do I know? Nobody is complaining about it)
• No fear that ex-lovers will interrupt the ceremony
• The temperature must be pleasant (No one is complaining about it)
• No guests arrived late (No grumblings from the audience)

Hey, I might have enjoyed this wedding. It had none of my top complaints about weddings, so I could have crashed this one. Oh I still would have had a few giggles at the minister like I have while watching this video. I hope a notary public is in the courtyard, just in case. But my lawn chair & I could have attended.

Not all weddings are everyone's style. People look at me funny at my " Alcohol-Free Happy Hour Style" reception idea. It will have a mashed potato martini bar,

 fruit kabobs,

mock-tails,

 line dancing,
and of course cake.

All the components at a happy hour event, I like without the liquor. Wedding will start at 4pm by 5pm the reception can start, by 8:30, 9pm everyone would have had a good time and went home and my husband and I can go and be married. That's what I want. My style is not for someone else. I am not a fan of drunk activities (fighting, vomiting, etc.). Can't party without booze, this will not be the event for you.  The wedding above is what that couple wanted. Thelma Fry reboot is married and I am not so, maybe she is onto something.

And that is the thing. They are married, point blank. They will always have their memories. Years later they might be sitting in their home maybe a mansion they can actually say to the children & grandchildren "We started from the courtyard but now we are here. Thanks to this viral video, they have proof.
