That is hilarious. I just converted to Catholicism and have yet to go to a Catholic wedding. I’m hoping the first one I attend is the neck-tattoo variety like you saw.

Though I haven’t noticed the pork eating, I have to say I’m impressed with the drinking prowess of Catholics of all cultures. I thought that we atheists knew how to kick a few back, but the Catholics put me to shame.

Thanks for another hilarious post!

Off topic here, but holy dedication bat man. I used to read this blog in 2005 and you are still going. Impressive.

The one Chinese wedding I went to, there was lots of cognac, which I’d never had, but I quickly decided that I really like cognac… But yes, pork… perhaps it’s primarily the food of the Latino/Filipino Catholics, not all Catholics. Haven’t ever been to a white person’s Catholic wedding.

My uncle was so irritated at the liquor selection at my sister’s wedding that he went into the venue’s pantry and liberated a bottle of sake, which he brought to the table and promptly drank.

This sounds great!

I can trump it though!

There’s nothing quite like a Silent Quaker Vegan Lesbian wedding which was immediately preceded by a Bilingual Chinese Funeral.

Wait.

On second thought.

This was much better.

Wait, old Asian people don’t drink a lot at weddings? At all the Chinese, Vietnamese and other Asian weddings I’ve gone to, there’s at least a few old Asian men (and women) getting sloshed because they leave a frickin’ bottle of Hennessy or cognac with the requisite bottle of 7-Up or Sparkling Irish Cider.

Then again, if I had to go through the long-ass traditional wedding ceremonies of the Chinese and Vietnamese, I’d probably be pretty lit by the time they actually had the wedding reception myself.

Ok, not really.

Wow. That beats the last wedding I attended. The biggest thing there was that the best man’s girlfriend made a stink that he wasn’t paying her enough attention, so she got drunk, screamed a lot, and went to lie down in the parking lot. Class act all the way.

Oh yeah! Sounds like every wedding that has ever taken place in my family. Did you have dollar dances with the bride?
