Well, it finally happened. My brother finally got married after being engaged for what seemed like an eternity. Actually it was a little over a year but I think we were all ready for them to jump the broom. The wedding itself apparently came off on short notice. We (the family) all found out about it early last week. I didn’t ask my brother why the last minute wedding. I was kind of thinking that the bride’s father might be hiding a shotgun somewhere! Believe me, my family has definitely had shotgun weddings before! I won’t mention any names… OK, I know this was not a shotgun wedding. These kids really do love each other and I don’t think the bride was pregnant.

Regardless of the timing of the wedding I thought it came off rather well. It was an intimate affair with a small reception in a hotel room. We were treated to fried chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, appetizers and a big ass cake! There was a little fighting over the Mexican bean dip. It was very good. I really didn’t mean to body slam my niece but she was hogging the bean dip!? OK, I didn’t really body slam her but I did nudge her out of the way. Basically, it was a very nice wedding. I want to welcome my new sistah into the clan. Yvette, you is married now!
