Wedding Crashers

Published by Unknown at 12:39 PM

This past weekend has been hectic, I thought I’d be able to just enjoy the time off between classes, but that just didn’t happen. On Friday I cooked for Easter, Saturday consisted of my Cousin’s wedding, and on Sunday I went to church. The service was very moving and filled with the spirit of the Lord, and I really enjoyed myself. The highlight, had to be the moment my Mom shut down the Wedding Reception.

It all started on Friday, when we attended the final rehearsal. There were 32 people in the wedding party, and for the first time everyone managed to show up, they went over the wedding march 8-9 times, and I was shocked that they could get everyone in by the time the song finished. Towards the end of the rehearsal, the Bride’s sister gave my Mom back a check for $27.00 to cover the cost of my little sister’s shoes. Mom had expressed concern over the girls inability to cash a check, and offered to give her cash later on since she didn’t carry cash.

The next day, at the reception the girl asks me to ask my Mom about the money. I go over to her table and tell her, and she was getting upset because she felt that the girl was scamming her. And to find out, she had a felony record that prevented her from going inside of a bank, and the Bride’s Dad had paid for the shoes, tuxedos, and dresses for the entire bridal party and the food and the DJ.

So, she asks my little sister to tell my Mom about giving her the money again. This time my Mom confronts the girl to her face and everyone is taking notice. My relatives are trying to calm her down, and my Mom pushes people off her, and the bride has to drag my Mom outside; they discover that the Bride isn’t aware of her sister hustling folks out of money. I know she got $80.00 from my cousins, and only God will know how much she made off with from her scheme. After that incident everyone headed home and we are still cracking jokes with my Mom.
