Truck Stop Reception
Remember the wedding of my husband’s co-worker we were invited to? The one where we found out they planned to return any items off their registry for cash.
We attended it this weekend and in case you are wondering what we gave them ~ it was a “re-gift.” Something I received for Christmas and had no real use for, but it made a nice wedding present and cost me nothing. Considering it will more than likely be on Ebay or in a garage sale very soon I don’t feel too bad.
Back to the wedding. It was 100 degrees outside this weekend and it was an outdoor wedding. A gazebo was center stage for the ceremony with white folded chairs for guests. Which was nicely decorated and would have been beautiful near the woods or a lake….but not next to a highway!
It was a rather small event and we could not hear a word the preacher was saying. The semi trucks roaring by drowned out the music as well. One person honked as they passed. Congratu-honking-lations!
But if you think that choice in location was odd, wait until I tell you where the reception was held. Right next door to the ceremony in the party room of a truck stop. No kidding. It was a true truck stop reception.
Complete with a fried chicken catered dinner and slurpee’s. I have a rule about eating at gas stations, so I didn’t chomp down on a thigh, the slurpee was another story. Now the only thing that could have made this any better would be if they’d made a wedding cake out of chocolate ho-ho’s.
Holy Hell!!!! I can’t believe that. And the slurpee’s are truly a unique drink for a wedding!
this sounds absolutely perfect. a truck stop reception. i love it. they can even pick up one of those bumper stickers about not knocking if there is rocking or what have you on the way out.
So I would say that you have to be making this up, but then I realize there is no way you can make stuff like this up.
Kudos on the regift. I fully endorse regifting.
Well, that’s new! Throw in a big hound dog as the ring bearer and it’s gone “up-town”.
WTF!
i am literally speechless…
w.t.f.
You must be effing kidding me! That beats all. Were there ice sculptures shaped like the Michelin Man?
I can not stop laughing. There is no way that happened, no way.
I SO wish I was kidding. In all honesty I never expected I’d ever attend a “Truck Stop Reception” but this is Southern Indiana and we do live a little too close to the Kentucky border!!!!!
I probably would have eaten the thigh. But with my eyes closed.
Was she pregnant?
This is so damn trashy it’s classy.
It’s classytrashy!
Wow. I’ve never heard of something so… this. There just are no words…
Wow, that’s unbelievable.
I’m in shock.
I love the shot of the truck stop, your description was so funny, I was still laughing as I wrote this comment…keep em coming I need the humor in my life lately..
