My Big Fat Mexican Wedding

(Modified from a forward)

An Average of 12 people attend per invitation.
No one goes to church for the wedding, but everyone goes to the reception.
All the centerpieces are gone…
And the reception just started.
Everyone’s kids are running around like crazy and all you want to do is throw a bottle at them.
“La comida” is barbacoa/birria, rice and beans.
People are taking food plates home “para mañana”.
People are taking huge pieces of cake home… and telling others “alla hay mas”.
One of the relatives is drunk and hugging everyone telling them “te quiero mucho”.
The Dollar Dance lasts over an hour with the same “valz”, and that’s only the relatives.
There are seven bridesmaids, and ten sets of padrinos, and everyone wants to be a “madrina” for your wedding.
The cake was made by “la señora que haces los cakes”, instead of the bakery.
The wedding ends at midnight “en el salon”, but ends at 6 am at the bride’s house – just in time for a nap before “el menudo”.
Even though there is alcohol provided, people go to “la licor” down the street and buy cases of beer that they hide under the table so they don’t have to share with everyone.
