Weird Weddings...

Picture it... A beautifully decorated church. In the front, a groom dress in a dapper gray tuxedo, 2 groomsmen by his side as he anxiously awaits his future bride to make her way down the aisle so the two can be joined in marital bliss. One bridesmaid makes her entrance, signaled by a soft string arrangement of "Cannon in D", followed by another, before the Maid of Honor begins her path. A small, wide eyed flower girl, probably no older than three or four makes her way down the aisle after a very rambuncious 4 year old ring bearer. The peach colored rose petal mark a trail for the bride, a vision in a white Cinderella style dress, to follow. One of the most beautiful love songs of all times is sang the vows are said, and the two are pronounced husband and wife. They turn to face their attentive audience... most of which are wearing a few questionable costumes. The couple beams as they make their way out the back of the church. The guests file out row by row and make the short drive down the road to the reception hall. The band, friends of the bride, arrive and set up as people are still filing in. The bride and groom enter, their eyes taking in the peach and mint green decorations of the reception hall. A loud voice rings out, "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Noah Windham." The band begins playing music... the complete score to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, minus "Sweet Transvestite". After going through the score, the group segues into some rather depressing 80s ballads.
The story you have just heard is true... I was there, as a matter of fact, I was in the band, doing the lead vocals, and lead guitar! All the music choices, not my own. It's what the bride wanted. Why? I haven't the foggiest idea. All I know is she has a good reason to look back on her big day and laugh! Sure the wedding LOOKED normal on the outside, but get behind the closed doors of the reception hall in Chapel Hill, NC, and a different story was told. I'm so glad the couple was majorly into theatrics, or there may have been some regret on their part. But, hey, at least they have interesting stories for the children and grandchildren in the future! :o)
Till next time guys!!!!! Enjoy and take care!
