Wedding Crashing
Back story is here.
So I spoke with MIL again today to plan a visit for next weekend. MIL's birthday is on the 13th so we're going up there this coming Saturday to have lunch and spend the afternoon/evening with them. This is also the same day as the wedding. Apparently the invitation was only addressed to MIL & FIL but a few days later SIL received an invite via Facebook. Yup, Facebook wedding invites. The ceremony is at 4pm at a church very close to my IL's home so DH and I are just going to go with MIL and SIL to the ceremony since they weren't planning on going to the reception anyway. I feel a smidgen guilty about crashing the ceremony but FIL isn't going so it's technically only 1 extra person. I'm really curious to see this whole thing.
Also, I had MIL re-read me the "poem". It went something like:
"We know times are hard and they are for us as well,
We'd like to have you share our celebration with us
If your wallets will allow."

Also, mildly funny - The reception is at a little Mexican restaurant called La Cocina and my MIL keeps calling it the Casino. As in, "I don't really wanna go eat at that Casino place - I'm not big on Mexican food."
Just makes me giggle.

That's actually even worse than I imagined it would be.

that poem - yikes!
I dont think it's a crime to crash the ceremony. I think of ceremonies as sort of more open events, esp if they're held at a church.
However, crashing a reception and immediately lining up for the bar (which happened at my wedding with a few college aged guys staying at our hotel) = Not Cool. Although it was kind of fun confronting them... you should have seen the look on their faces when I asked them who they were. Needless to say they were immediately escorted out of the reception by the hotel staff (and completely kicked out of the hotel). Busted.
Haha!
DH and I were actually approached by the security guard during our reception because a guest of the hotel claimed to be with the wedding so they wouldn't kick him out of his room for being too loud. We had no idea who he was so he got the boot.
A haiku for Mamie:
We just got married.
Now it's time for some tacos.
We hope you brought cash.
THIS is why I love you SBS. Best haiku ever.
