A while back I thought it would be funny if I got ordained as a minister. I am a raging anti-thiest so the idea of me being a reverend with the ability to marry people would be comedic in itself. A couple of months ago a guy I know calls me up and asks if I would marry him and his girlfriend. I say” ok, when?” he say” the 25th( a week’s notice)” I say” your fucking kidding me.” he say” no”. Well why the fuck not. I was told it would be a small affair, maybe ten people, at his mom’s backyard. I never married anyone so I figured this wouldn’t be that bad. Hot and ghetto, but not bad. So um yeah, two days before this joke of a union was to take place I was notified about a change in plans. Instead of a back yard with ten or so people, the wedding was being moved to the clubhouse where her dad lives, and there will be 40-50 people. I would now like include this tidbit : her dad lives in a fucking trailer park. I understand people have to live somewhere but really now, a fucking trailer park.
Needless to say I was not very happy but I agreed to do this thing so whatever, I’ll cope. Really now, how many times will I get the chance to A: marry people B: marry people at a trailer park clubhouse? Never ever. To gear myself up for this I thought staying up until 5 a.m drinking the morning of the wedding would be a great idea. I got a refreshing four hours of sleep before my bladder ruined any hopes of enjoying a hangoverless day. I drove to the poor fucks parents house, where upon arrival I was asked If I wanted a drink. I didn’t see where a thirst quenching glass of…nope they were talking about more beer….would hurt. Fuck it, why not.
Right before we left, the groom’s step father went to the bathroom but somehow managed to forget not to piss on himself. He changes pants, we now have 15 minutes to get to the park. We all rush like hell, make it minutes before the start time so I had a few minutes to go over the garbage they ( groom and bride) wanted me to say, since I have only been to weddings and even then did not pay any fucking attention to what was going on, so I had no idea what to say during a wedding ceremony. I asked where the club house was. Groom says ” over there” and points to a double wide. So not only is the wedding being held at a trailer park, but it’s being held in a fucking big trailer. Sweet. Most of the guests were already there and by guests I mean fucking white trash. Oh yeah, brides daughter invited her friends to the wedding. Awesomely enough they were all Insane Clown Posse fans, all 12 of them. 12 juggalo’s and juggelett’s. This day just became greater. Best part: I JUST bitched about these people a week ago.
This is a good time to point out how over dressed I was. Dress pants, neatly pressed dress shirt, and I even felt bad about not polishing my shoes before I left. Fuck all of that.One jugglefuck was wearing a white t-shirt with a fucking hole in the side, some guy had a denim shirt with the sleeves cut off, some other guy sported flip flops, the bride’s mother wore a fucking prom looking dress, and her dad’s pants were too short to hide the fact his shitty black shoes were offset by his filthy white socks. My cells are at this point attacking me because they are so pissed I brought them to this place. 6:00 rolls around( start time) and there is no bride. Groom calls bride. Bride says they just left the hotel, which is where they are staying for their ” honey moon”. The hotel is a Super 8 across the street from a shit hole country western bar. Half hour passes and there is still no bride. Another call is placed. The groom informs me they are on the way, but they have to finish smoking a joint. Who the fuck does that? Really now, getting stoned before your wedding is pretty trashy right? Wrong. The bride and the maid of honor show up, and before going inside and getting this train wreck started, insist everyone in the wedding party take a shot…of Jagermeister.
Inside we go, I am feeling hellish, and this is when I get a good look at the bride. Her wedding dress goes a little something like this: white ( no shit? ), and about six inches above her navel on up the dress has laces kinda like a corset. This laced up dress allowed her triple D boobs to spill all over the fucking place. This tasteful garb also allowed for an unobstructed view of the rose tattoo on her escaping tits. Whatever…ceremony starts,I do my job poorly( how the fuck was I supposed to know when they should put the rings on), time to eat. Bride’s father spent all night and day cooking a sumptous feast. The menu included: shrimp floating in brown sauce, chicken submerged in yellowish brown sauce that oddly enough was covered in some sort of seasoning that did not come off even though it was sitting in liquid, button mushrooms with ground beef on them covered in a delightful jar of Prego, broccoli and cheese that was white-ish, beef pieces covered in cream of mushroom with a layer of corn flakes on top ( yes..corn flakes ), and a vile potato salad that had chopped up pieces of pepperoni in it. Yum! I got my broccoli, potato salad and tamale cassarole( actually not vile just plain ole sucky) and had a seat where I was greeted by brides’s brother. Have you ever opened the medicine cabinet and aligned your face on the mirror so if you tilt your head inward, your eyes get all close together and your face looks distorted? No? You fucking suck. Anyway he looked like this. He proceeded to ask me about every religion on the fucking planet, since you know, I’m a reverend and all and I know about every religion on the fucking planet.
I was at this time ready as hell to go, so I started nagging the groom about signing the marriage license. ” Sure no problem, I’ll go get her”. I wait. And wait. I go looking for bride. I find bride. I find the bride doing a keg stand with the help of her daughter’s juggalo friends. I go to my car so I can call my friend and tell him how to completely fuck a saturday all the hell up. I’m talking to him and I hear yelling comming from the double wide. ” You need to beat your son’s ass! Nobody punches my fucking daughter!” I end my call and walk over. I guess the maid of honor’s son -age 5- punched the bride’s daughter -age 9- in the stomach. The juggalo’s are talking about how they would have smacked the 5 year old in the face if they had seen what happened. My insides begin to die at a rapid pace.
I managed to get groom, bride, and best man into big fucking trailer to sign the shit so I can leave. The only hitch is the maid of honor is the other witness. I go back outside to get her. ” I need you to sign the marri-” ” Fuck that bitch I aint signin shit”. She leaves. I am at this point very desperate, so I start asking random people if they could sign the license. Everyone must have gotten together earlier and agreed on a resounding “no” answer in case this happened. I convince the bride’s mother’s friend to scribble some shit on the license for me . Home free. No. Groom want’s me to be there for the garter tossing. Since that was taking place about four feet from my car I didn’t see the harm.
Groom takes the garter off with his teeth, flings it, juggalo’s start fighting for it, and brides father ends up taking out a couple of them to emerge victorious. He looks at me and says ” A i nt nowboody gettin mawwied now”. Holy shit, what was that. I back away and stand off to the side away from everyone to collect my thoughts. I have not smoked in a month, but at this point in time I really really want to. The guy who saved money on his denim shirt because it lacked sleeves asked me if I was alright. I ask him for a cigarette. He says sure and gives me a fucking Echo. Heard of those? Me neither, but when in Rome… It is definitely time to go so I go back inside to say my good bye’s. On my way out the bride’s father stops me and says” Awwdom theweres a jauor ov owlebs wif youwer nmae awn it” translation: Adam there is a jar of olives with your name on it. Not once in the course of the evening did I consume a single solitary fucking olive. The bride’s father however was under the impression that Best Choice olives are my fave, an I had my eye on the big fucking jar of them sitting on the counter. I take my big fucking jar of owlebs and give him my thanks. After sitting in my car for a second to let everything settle in, I get the fuck on to the highway and beat a hasty retreat. I call my friend back to tell him some more of what happened, and while talking the truck in front of me cuts off the truck next to me forcing truck next to me into the concrete barrier where it spins around a few times before comming to rest in the middle lane of the highway. I get off the phone and proceede with caution the rest of the way home. This was my saturday…no shit.
