Several years ago my best friend, the cat i grew up with, decided to get married. well his wife-to-be, Michelle, and him decided to not have a traditional wedding...but to have it Vegas..and I'm the best man! so i get an all expense paid trip to Vegas!
SCORE!!
So we get there, do a little gamblin', but not much...because
the wedding is the same night as the day we get there. so about an
hour before, everyone splits and gets ready and meet back up in the
lobby of the hotel (don't ask me which one...i was drunk most of the
time LOL). We all head outside to the limo and Bob (Cory's step dad)
and i hear a small argument going on between Cory and Shea
(Michelle's maid of honor). Come to find out...Shea left the RINGS up
in the hotel room. shit...and this is a big
fucking hotel!
So Bob and I step in,
Me, "What's
up?"
Cory, "Shea forgot the fucking rings!"
Bob,
"don't sweat it, James and i will get them and meet y'all there
(we have 15 minutes to get to the chapel). What's the name of the
Chapel?"
"Starlight
Wedding Chapel"
Cool...we let everyone know what's going
on, double check again with Cory on the Chapel name...
"Starlight Wedding Chapel"
...and
haul ass!
We get up there...shred the room...grab the
rings...and haul ass back down stairs. 5 minutes MAX!
Grab
a cab, "Where to?"
"Starlight
Wedding Chapel!"
"Never
heard of it"
of
course you haven't
so
The Cab driver grabs his CB, hits up his dispatch...THEY have never
heard of any Starlight wedding Chapel either...and it's not in the
phone book!
of
course it isn't
they
have is a CANDLElight wedding chapel though..
"That
must be it! go there!"
Homeboy
hammers it..and we're on the way! 15 minutes later, we show up (if
you're watching the time, this is 5 minutes late)...SHIT
i don't recognize ANY of those people! that's not it! At this point,
we're late, and have no idea what to do...so Ol' Bob offers up his
suggestion...
"Lets go back to Hotel and get drunk at
the bar"
LOL
i have the rings and am suppose to
be in the wedding...Bob wants to go get drunk. awesome. Cab driver
pops up with, "you know...i think there's a Moonlite wedding
chapel..."
"That's gotta be it! let's roll!"
Homeboy
hammers it and we're on our way!
now...it's worthwhile to
mention at this point, that the Cab driver's wife is sitting on a
curb somewhere waiting on him to pick her up. LOL we know this
because she called several times during our trek around Vegas.
we
come rolling up to MOONlite wedding Chapel about 20 minutes
later...whole time Bob saying, "If this isn't it, we're going
back to the hotel and getting drunk."
sounds like a plan to me
we look out...and some of the people look vaguely familiar.
"This has to be it!"
i
hit the Cabbie with a deuce (that's Vegas talk there LOL ) and we
jump out, run up to the Chapel.....uhoh...these people don't look all
that familiar anymore.
WRONG
PLACE!
That's
it.
We're
going back and getting hammered. Fuck Cory. But
we need a cab and ours is gone. We tell the lady that's working at
the chapel this and she tells us, very apologetically, you're not
gonna get a cab here.
of
course we're not
"where
can we get a cab then?"
she
points and says, "See that hotel....."
yeah..i
can almost
see it....about a mile away LOL
"...they
can get you a cab."
So Bob and i walk/run all the way to
this Hotel (takes us about 15 minutes or so counting the time hanging
out at this bullshit chapel)..get there and grab a cab.
Now
remember..our plan is to go back to the hotel and get blind drunk!
LOL fuck this wedding!
As we're driving back to the hotel,
we're bitching and telling the story to the cab driver..we all hear
over the CB, ".....we just got a call in for that group of
people looking for 'Starlight Wedding chapel'..."
Bob,
"HEY! THAT'S US!!"
"...they
need to be taken to Camelot wedding chapel, their party is waiting
for them there."
Oh
shit!
"Hey!
that's us! take us there!"
15 minutes late we show
up..over an HOUR late...and Bob says, "If this isn't it..."
dam
right
it
IS
it! awesome. Cory come running up, "Where the fuck have you
been! we've been waiting on you!"
"I'm
not going to get into that...but I'm going to fuck you up later"
LOL
and hour late...Chapel name doesn't even SOUND the
same...Cory gets married finally.
