So unbelievable!
I used to watch soap operas on ABC. It is weird how you can not watch for years, but it only takes you a day to get caught back up. Sometimes, though, when I'm feeling particularly sane, I wonder why folks watch this stuff. It is so unbelievable. How's this for a plot line ...
The mother of the bride starts drinking early. By the time she's getting her hair done, she can't even talk without slurring. Somehow, the wedding goes as planned, but the fireworks start on the way to the reception.
The mother of the bride (lets say MOTB), acts very inappropriately with one of the groomsmen (probably 8-10 yrs her junior) in the limo. V-E-R-Y inappropriately. While embarrassing for the whole party (sans the bride and groom who are elsewhere in a horse drawn carriage), it is especially painful for one of the bridemaids ... her dad has been living with MOTB for some 8 years.
Upon arrival at the reception, everyone piles out of the limo. Well, not everyone. The bridesmaid dives back in, slams the door and you hear screaming. Bridesmaid and MOTB exit separately. Groomsman heads for the bar.
The bridesmaids, the mother of the groom, assorted grandparents and other relatives make every effort to keep MOTB away from the bride, but to no avail. She gets to the bride, lambastes the bridesmaid and brings the bride to tears. MOTB stomps around the reception like a hurricane, cornering whoever will listen, including the Reverend. All seems to be calming down. SEEMS.
The bride prepares to toss the bouquet. Just as she releases it, MOTB slides in front of the bridesmaid, snatches from her hands and sneers. A class act, the bridesmaid walks away. MOTB smacks the bridesmaid on the back of the head with the bouquet and slurs "take that!"
Did I mention that MOTB's boyfriend was there? That MOTB left the party three different times for 20 minutes or so, with other men? That she kept cornering the minister to tell her story?
I can't possibly remember all of the details but there was much crying, arguing, outdoor screaming and the finale ... MOTB shoved the bride and was escorted from the building and barred from returning.
It would have been hilarious if it were a tv show. It was actually the wedding I attended this weekend. Seriously. And, yes, my husband was the minister. For the final act, MOTB locked her keys in her truck, called 911 for assistance and rode home in a tow truck because the cops wouldn't let her drive.
In summary, the groom says "I think everything went really well ... except for that one thing." All my love and luck to the bride and groom. With a mom like that, they are going to need it.

Was this wedding in Boon-Vegas? Sounds like the only thing missing was camo.
