I took a side job working armed security at a wedding reception in a private park last Saturday and two of the funniest things I've ever seen happened that night. Actually, three things.
First, the best man gave the all-time worst wedding toast I've ever heard. I'm not kidding when I say that he sounded like a drunk Pickles, the drummer from Dethklok. He made a bunch of whiny noises about how people treat his little brother (the groom) like he's the big brother. How lucky the groom is to have met a girl like that even though he'd never been with her (his words, honest to God). There were a couple scattered curse words peppered into his glorious rant including a totally awesome :wtf: near the end. The bride gave herself an epic face palm over that.
Second. One of the groomsmen, after catching the bride's garter decided to play a half-assed game of keep away and ran around trying to not get caught by any of the other bachelors who were pissed he caught it. He ran around the dance floor and clothes lined himself on some speaker cables strung between two speakers which then fell on top of him.
Third. The aforementioned best man started a fist fight with another groomsman. I spied them rolling around on the grass and hustled over to separate them. I took out my cuffs and was about to detain the best man when the groom stepped in and said "It's cool. They're family. Let it go." I backed off and the best man sucker punched the groom. The groom and best man's father ran up and horse collared the best man and slapped a choke hold on him until he calmed himself a little. I escorted the best man to a waiting Lexus SUV in an attempt to defuse the situation but he just couldn't keep from saying "choke on my dick" to his father who grabbed him by the throat and jacked him three times in the face.
In any other situation I would've slapped the cuffs on the instigators, gotten them away from the rest of the party and get the police involved. But the bride is the property manager for the commercial development I work at and her dad owns the property. She didn't want the ruckus documented for fear of her father thinking less of her husband's family. So I wrote a supplemental report that only my bosses would see.
So, yes. I love weddings.
