I would call the day a success, MJ. I had to shush my mother twice during the ceremony - once when they said the groom's uncle was coming up to make some remarks and she said "well I hope they're brief" and the people in front of us turned around and looked to see who said it. I was mortified. The second time was when she said "damn funny this is supposed to be an adults only event and there are 5 kids in the wedding party.

What divine intervention put you both at Family Dollar at the same time.
Your sister is a real piece of work. She was setting you up for some reason (well, it can be inferred can't it?). I am so sorry this happened to you. You had explained why you were taking two vehicle and now? Caput.
UGH!
I sure hope it works out okay and your parents, "behave."
I'll be thinking of you. What they did is just AWFUL. I can't even believe it but then again. . .ya know?

Then they did pictures while the guests had appetizers. My parents were well behaved during the photos.
Then my dad wandered so I wandered to follow him. He went to the big outdoor kitchen where the caterers were putting the finishing touches on the meal and asked them when it would be ready and if they needed any help.
Then after we ate he said he was cold and was going to go sit in the car. The car was locked and about a quarter mile away. I told him if he would wait till the speeches were done we could leave - but he got up and wandered again. I went after him and said GIVE ME THREE MINUTES TO SAY SOME GOODBYES AND WE WILL GO. So we left.
All the way home they complained about how the wedding "wasn't right" - there were no ushers seating people, no gift table, they had too many attendants (12 bridesmaids, 12 groomsmen, 2 ring bearers, 2 flower girls), they had to wait too long for their food, they didn't like the food, there were too many FAT PEOPLE there (I kid you not).
As soon as we got back to my house they got in their car and left - thank goodness, I don't think I would take any more of them tonight!!
