Yet more Ghetto-isms

The only air conditioning was a hand held fan from the local
funeral home.

The ring bearer was wearing a Starter jacket.

The wedding was delayed because the Groom was late.

The Groom arrived with a 40 oz.

Some groomsmen were not wearing socks.

Some bridesmaids were wearing platform shoes like THE SPICE GIRLS.

There were more than 40 people in the wedding party.

The happy couple already had more than 6 kids between them.

The communion wine came from Food Lion.

The salute to the bride took more than 5 minutes, and involved
sound effects.

The strippers from the bachelor & bachelorette parties were in the
audience.

After the couple was pronounced husband & wife, at least 1 of
their mothers shouted out at the top of her lungs, "THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY"!!!!

***AT THE RECEPTION***

The limo's were actually the family cars from the funeral home
that provided the church fans.

The couple had the limo stop by Winn Dixie for cold beer on the
way to the reception.

The person announcing the names of the wedding party, couldn't pronounce most of them.

There were twice as many people at the reception than were at the wedding.

The couples first dance was to a song by "Master P".

The buffet included collard greens, chitlins and or pig's feet.

The reception photo's were ruined by unsupervised kids, running in front of the
photographer.

Many of the guests were armed.

All slow dancing looked like a "DIRTY DANCING" audition.
