Most Memorable Moments 2009
December 24, 2009Let’s face it, Groomsmen can be jackasses. So, I’d like to present to you the awards for the top five most idiotic, funny, disgusting, ridiculous things that groomsmen have done at our weddings over the last 19 years.
5th Place
This award goes to the Groomsman who passed out business cards to me for the couple’s dog and asked me to give them to all the guests so that the guests could email pictures of the wedding to the couple’s dog.
4th Place
This goes to the Groomsman who asked me during the reception to go out and buy an industrial sized tube of Astroglide for the bride and groom to use on their wedding night because they were in their 60s. I did not do this.
3rd Place
This goes to the groomsman who got so plastered at the rehearsal dinner that on the morning of the wedding, he missed all of the photos because he was at the hospital getting an IV. He didn’t roll into the ceremony until 10 minutes before it started. Somehow we hid this from the bride. I don’t know exactly what was told to her, but it was pretty stressful.
2nd Place
This goes to the groomsman who was so hammered at the end of the reception and was walking out to send-off looking for some water and decided that the water he should drink was from the vase on the table that had had flowers in it 5 seconds before and was filled with floral chemicals. He just took that thing and drank it back as I watched the whole thing happen.
1st Place
The winner for the most accomplished jackass of all Groomsmen were my team of Groomsmen who did cocaine in the bathroom at a Catholic church before ceremony. I mean, if you want to know how to get into heaven, that’s a pretty good move right there. Yikes!
