I went to a wedding last

I went to a wedding last summer and the dinner was catered by Panda Express- a local, fast-food Chinese restaurant. The food was still in original cardboard and plastic containers. No chafing dishes. Nothing.

wedding

My daughter and I were on our way to her wedding when the Pastor called to say that she needed to find someone else to do the wedding because she wasn’t going to make it needless to say that was a very emotional moment. The pastor eventually called back and said she would be able to make it but would be a little later than initially planned. It finally happened after those twists and turns and she is now married.

Unusual Wedding

The mother of the bride and father of the groom were previously lovers. This information was not disclosed to the marrying couple until shortly after by others. The couple is still married but have their ups and downs. Her mother is constantly getting involved and has a secret crush on the groom. She would like nothing more but the groom to cheat on her own daughter even if it is not with her due to extreme jealousy. The latter was obvious to attendees of the wedding that many were disgusted and no longer speak with the family.

my best friends wedding

well no one was supporting her wedding, including the parents. so me and our friends supported her the best way we possibly could. the stepmother conducted the marriage, wich took place at the bride’s home. the groom himself seemed as if he wasn’t there, especially in the way he was dressed. his shirt wasn’t tucked in and had the nerve to not say his vowes. even the bouquet was a combination of faux flowers in a blue funnel. but what turned this okward love ceremony around was the fact that her best friends, including me, suported her in every imaninable way.
