re: What’s the trashiest wedding you’ve ever attended

Most fun one was the one in Hammond when we smoked a couple of bowls in the church cemetery between the wedding and the reception. The priest at that one came home from wind surfing five minutes before the start time, threw on his robes, performed the 55 minute ceremony, got pretty drunk, and danced with all of the ladies there. All of the groomsmen were protestants. we didn't practice communion at the rehearsal. None of us knew whether we were supposed to take it. All seven of us declined it up there in front of everyone.

It was a day wedding, so we had those grey tuxedos with tales striped pants and cummerbunds. We should have had top hats and canes.

Pics?

I went to one in Independence. The priest was drunk from the KC Christmas party and forgot half the Mass. Christmas trees on alter with rapid flashing lights. People hollering out to their friends relatives during bridal party procession. At reception, multi table cake display connected by river like fountain on 4 separate card tables...no tablecloths. Best man spilled red wine on bride's dress...fisticuffs ensued. So classy.

When I was 15 or 16, I was at a friend's house who had a relative getting married down the street (dirt road).

They were using his front yard for the whole service. The groom then learned that his uncle or cousin who lived a couple houses away didn't want to walk over and see the wedding. Apparently his TV shows were on, and just said frick it.

The would be groom got mad and to calm down started drinking whiskey. About 40 minutes later he was over at his relative's house trying to fight him. He was kicking on his door and threatening to break his tvs too, the bride came out in all her shite before she was supposed to and was trying to talk him down.

Did the JoP actually marry you or only sign a marriage license? Because if you had a marriage ceremony in another state based on a Louisiana marriage license, you might well not be legally married.

---

There is no ceremony required. Only signing/witnessing/yes/stamp.

You might want to check Louisiana law on that:

quote:

---

Louisiana Civil Code article 91. Marriage ceremony required

The parties must participate in a marriage ceremony performed by a third person who is qualified, or reasonably believed by the parties to be qualified, to perform the ceremony. The parties must be physically present at the ceremony when it is performed.

Souce: Louisiana Legislature

Now, to be a marriage ceremony doesn't require much. The officiant basically just needs to get each party to agree to marry the other, there and then (e.g., not, 'Will you marry each other tomorrow?').

So in Louisiana, if you get a marriage license, go before the justice of the peace, and the justice of the peach gets each of you to agree to marry the other then and there, then you're married. But if you don't agree to marry each other then and there, while before the justice of the peace, then you're not married. And if you got a marriage license in Louisiana, did not get married here, go to Las Vegas, don't get a Nevada marriage license, and have a ceremony there, then there's a good chance you're not legally married--and then back in Louisiana we're in the category of "putative marriage".

Any wedding where there is a “mashed potato bar” I’m not eating = the cheapest food plan possible.

Are you illiterate?

I just said we got the marriage license, went to his house, said yes, signed, stamped, left.

We were legally married at that moment.

We had a ceremony a few days later a thousand miles away for show.

Dude had on camo crocs and a tux tshirt. His side piece called him while he was on the alter and he fumbled around with his phone trying to mute it and eventually just threw it on the ground smashing it. This was in Belle Chase btw so it’s far from the trashiest thing that happen that day within a couple miles.

Friends in Vicksburg. Full on brawl at the reception cops and ambulances hauling people off. I had never seen anything like it before and haven’t since. Couple is still happily married.
