You know you're at a black folks wedding when...



...The minister begins the ceremony asking people not to put gum on the pews....The bride is over an hour and a half late....More than one guest is wearing leopard print....All the groomsmen wear sunglasses walking down the aisle....The cell phones keep playing club music during the reading of the scriptures....The Groom keeps asking to kiss the Bride during the entire ceremony....The Groomsmen add doorags to the get-up when being introduced at the reception....People ask for more food in the buffet line....The reception turns into a night club and the bar is like 30 people deep.We had a great time. When we got there, my sis was looking for her scripture reading. She thought it was JOhn 4:6-16, but the verses were about a woman asking God for a husband, when she was cheating with a married man...or something crazy like that. So I told her she must have written the wrong verse down and to read something else,...you can never go wrong with the verse from I Corinthians..love is patient, love is kind...well turns out someone else is reading that...so my pops saves the day...he looks at us and says try the book of Johns right before Revelations...who knew there were other gospels of John...sure nuf we found John I 4:6-16 about love and finding love and blah, blah...so lesson learned, always keep your parents handy and start paying more attention in church! If I can figure out how...I'll add a few pics from the wedding later...off to go study for my finals...stay well
