I think she is the one getting married this weekend. :(
I only know this from Facebook... I have no idea which sister it is but she frequently comments on his posts.

Yeah there's that, but normally there's a big gap between the wedding and the reception.
And free stuff is free stuff.
You know, I'm pretty sure there were motherfuckers who showed up at my reception that weren't at the wedding.  Probably belonged to the white trash freeloader crowd my mother in law invited (without asking our permission, of course). :mad:

Let me know if you see anybody wearing Raybans.

He's going to Vegas, not 1986.

Hey! What's wrong with Raybans? I use a pair and it looks good damn it.

I actually had a pair of Raybans stolen by Mexicans as well. It was in early 90's.

A pair of Raybans was my last expensive pair of sunglasses.  I bought them one afternoon then went out drinking and never saw them again, ~$80 ad I owned them for less than 8 hours.  Since then I have not paid more than $15 for sunglasses.

Hmmm. Jaron goes away on a "trip" and a plane with the Polish President and other officials crashes in Russia. Coincidence?  :hmm:

I still wear Raybans.

Like I said-
QuoteThere will presumably be a lot of other Mexicans there though...

You need to tell us a story about shagging a bridesmaid.

I did however get to take advantage of my reception's open bar.  MASSIVE advantage, in fact :cheers: :blush:

I estimate I was responsible for killing about 2 bottles of champagne, half a bottle of Malbec, and an unknown number of beers at mine.  Granted, the reception lasted like 6 or 7 hours and I spread it out & made sure to eat, but I'm still not sure how I made it through without keeling over.  I think I had 4 or 5 Cuban cigars that night, as well.  God was with me, I guess.

It took probably the first bottle's worth of champagne to loosen me up enough to sing "La Bamba" with the band, but I had that house rockin' :punk:

Boy, the things some Mexicans will do for a pair of Raybans!  :D

Our wedding had two tiers of guests: the formally invited ones who showed up when the reception started, and then the ones who were invited by phone call, word of mouth, or invited themselves showed up around midnight. 

Apparently that's pretty much the Argentine way.  You have the good food & booze out for the family & close friends early on, and then when the others start showing up, you switch to beer, pizza, etc.

The wedding ceremony was a packed house since my wife's sister was getting married the same time, and some people had to stand.  Even though the church was full, we still had people wandering in off the street to watch.  Apparently that's another Argentine thing :huh:
