My evil cousin got married this weekend, and needless to say it was not the wedding of her dreams.
I was not the girl in my third grade class who had my dream wedding picked out. It's weird when i watch these shows like Bridezilla and the girl says "i have been planning this wedding my whole life." Perhaps it just wasn't one of those things on my list to accomplish by age 30. I think even then i was planning romantic getaways with whoever i was crushing on at the moment.
I remember a particular conversation when i was young with a bunch of girls and having the "dream wedding" conversation going on. One girl wanted to be married on the beach, another girl wanted to be married on a boat, dressed in matching sailor theme clothes, another girl wanted a traditional church wedding.
I think i said i wanted to be married in a castle, not because i thought this question over and over again, but just castles were cool.
I still don't think about weddings much, i mean i think I'd like the whole marriage aspect rather than one day where i get to dress up and watch my family act like fools. I don't really care if it's a small, large, castle theme or beachy retreat sort of thing. I just would care that everyone enjoys themselves, and that my uncle stays far away from the open bar as possible.
My cousin has been dating this guy since high school, she is the daughter of my semi-rich uncle and his wholly crazy wife. They got separated about a year ago, and he has been seeing a nice lady who I've met on some occasions.
My cousin and her equally evil sister do not like the idea of their father dating a new woman, and his soon to be ex wife is playing the crazy game. She is making claims that my uncles' new girlfriend is calling her house and threatening her. Why? No one knows. We all know she is making it up for attention, but like most things I like to watch a Jerry springer induced drama to go down.
Anyway. My cousin has been engaged for about a year, and a couple of months ago at a wedding party her crazy mother was throwing for her she admitted to her father that she did not want to get married. My uncle says she was crying hysterically and that she didn't even like this dude, but was fearful of what her mother would say because...well her mother is crazy.
My uncle of course said if she didn't want to get married than she shouldn't. But i guess straight up fear and domination won and this weekend was her "Special" day. We, surprisingly, were invited to go. But my mother not liking either one of the hellions decided against going.
I would have liked to see the train wreck of the wedding.
From what my detective grandmother relayed to me and my mom this weekend: She got married in some church wearing a very inexpensive wedding gown that reportedly was not picked out of love. The service went okay, but only some people were invited to the reception(more on this later) . At the reception, everyone soon realized that her new husband is kind of an idiot and has freakishly large ears. My grandmother than opted to get drinks because a family fight started and she was ready to drown her disgust in the nearest bottle she could find.
If you knew my evil cousin you would say she deserves this mess of a wedding.
Apparently because they were too cheap to invite everyone to the reception they invited a few people while the rest of the guests had to go home after the "I DO'S". Now i don't know much about weddings, but isn't it proper to have a reception for all of your guest? I mean people have shown up to your wedding to wish you much love and happiness(well in my case semi-happiness for evil cousin) for your new marriage. And yet only a select few were invited to go, and from what i hear they could have just went to the Olive Garden and called it day.
After laughing at the absurdity of my cousin, her wedding and her new marriage to the big eared guy...I realized that maybe wedding days are important. I mean 1) you want to share your commitment with your guy or girl with family and friends and 2) it's a celebration and everyone should be apart of it. It's a joining of family, friends and that love crap.
And so maybe i have no idea where/when or with whom i will have a wedding with. But i don't want it to suck, or to be sulking in some corner watching my big eared husband attempt to do the electric slide.

yep, we're twins.
one of my crazy cousins' wedding featured several of the bride's siblings fighting in the parkinglot, and the bride's mom charging out to break it up, screaming about how they were ruining the god-damned wedding.
there was also a fountain. not of champagne, but of hard liquor. i forget which - maybe whiskey and soda? gin and tonic? something like that.
it was CLASSY.
i hate weddings.
I've been to good and bad weddings. A lot of times it isn't even the bride who wants a big wedding, but the brides' mom. Me? I always let the girls have what they wanted (within price reason!). So far, they've both been divorced and one has been remarried. Two big weddings and a small one... lol! The latest divorcee says "next time, I elope!". Now, my boys are getting married and it's two more big weddings. *sigh*
