I was a groomsman in my buddy Derek’s wedding in Littleville, AL. You ever done something as an adult that you were embarrassed about? I have. Derek, especially his wife, likes to remind me of how we (the groomsmen) decorated his car all nice and purty during their wedding reception at a local Baptist Church. Once we had written various things on the glass and attached various objects to the car, I decided to hop in the front seat and drive it to the other side of the church where a huge crowd of people was gathered for Derek and Laura. As I drove up, I honked the horn of that red Mustang a few times. My timing was a little off because they were in the middle of saying the blessing on the food (no wonder they were all quiet and still).
They will never let me forget that, and Derek says paybacks are rough. I don’t know when that will be but he’s been looking forward to it for many years. Fortunately I don’t have any pictures of that decorated car. Anyone that comes to their home can see it in their wedding album though. Congrats on making it 8 years.
Details Thad, details….
Decorated how?
With shoepolish that said “headin’ to the hotel” all over the windows.
Condoms blown up and placed all over the car. Condoms with bananas all over the car inside and out. Shaving cream under the door handles, and a condom stretched over the gearshift…
(What a waste…. Those could have been used dangit)
Then the grand entrance from good ‘ole Thaddeus.
I remember having my eyes closed for the prayer holding my brides hand when I hear the Mustang rollin up with the psychotic honking.
I look up expecting Travis or someone else and it was good ole Thad rolling up behind the wheel. He would have gotten the same look as if he were playing ‘Highway to Hell’ on the radio rolling up in the church.
I’m still in shock at Thad’s grande entrance that stole the show…
What’s funny is the lady that took our pictures was 80+ years old. She’d fallen several times at the wedding and had to have help. Anyway, she made me and Laura stand in front of the car and have our pictures made with the condoms except she really thought they were ballons.
Paybacks can be rough from what I hear…
And I’ve had a long time to think about an appropriate evil scheme, so I’ve gotta a little plan of my own (hehe).
Here’s a hint – Do you like Limp Bizkit?
-Derek
This post makes me laugh but what makes me laugh even harder is Derek’s description of this event. Thanks for adding the details Thad left out, made it come to life.
In regards to payback, part of me is left to wonder and worry as to when that payback will take place……………
Thad has yet to do anything too embarassing to me but in light of the fact that it is Thad I will volunteer my services to assist in this venture. Having studied modern art for 30 minutes in college I believe I can assist in the decorations…
I am not going to lie – it could get a little wierd and freaky…
