Char & Chris = CHARGATESaturday Oct. 4, 2008
The Chargate Nuptials- another classic one for the books. I can think of about 20 different truly memorable moments from Char & Chris big day, but I decided to narrow it down. Here are the top five moments from Saturday, listed under each picture (although the picture may not illustrate the moment at all):
5. G-DAWG1027 IS MY HERO
- After the ceremony, the Bridal Party packed into a Limo/Bus to cruise the city, take some pictures and head out to the Reception at the Design Center. We had one huge problem- no alcohol. It was all consumed in the hotel beforehand. With virtually everyone heading towards soberness, a pit-stop at ANY alcohol-serving establishment was much needed.
We headed straight for the "Photo-Shoot Location" somewhere in the Financial District of the City. There was a large production crew that looked like they were shooting a movie right in front of us (later we found out it was Bridgestone shooting a commercial for the Super Bowl!). We recalled seeing a liquor store not even a block away, but as great Bridal Party members, no one wanted to just leave the photo session to get alcohol. Until:
G-DAWG1027 TO THE RESCUE. He was rolling with us in the bus, and although he was part of the Bridal Party, he wasn't needed in this part of the Photo Shoot. All the Groomsmen started raining $20 bills on G-Dawg who promptly went and made the run for us. I'm sure the entire Bridal Party will agree with me: The best (and most expensive) Hennessey Priv I've ever had...
4. OPEN BAR = EVERYONE GETS HAMMERED
- Henny-tini's, Appletini's, Kamikaze's... Everyone had one (or seven) of the above at some point during the night. Including our parents! Its awesome seeing our parents hang out and have a good time together. And you wonder why WE party so hard... Remember that one late 80's/early 90's commercial:
"I learned it from watching you!!!"
"Parents who 'get down and party,' have children who 'get down and party..."
Special shout-out to my dad who turned 50 on Oct. 3!!!
3. YOU BETTER FRIGGIN' RECOVER...
- Sometime between the Bridal Party introduction and salad being served, the ever-so-wonderful Wives/ Girlfriends/ Significant Others proceeded to get BLASTED!!! Wifey Macho probably had at least 10 drinks... SHOTS... She wasn't sippin' the Appletini's, she was downing them.
I remember her double fisting two Appletini's back to the table, taking both of them back with Wifey Jenny & Wifey Hellen, and turning to Wifey Consuerto while pointing at an empty glass saying, "Hey CON, I got you an Appletini... but I drank it B*TCH!"
Of course everything hit her like a ton of bricks. Eyes closing, unable to stay still, head on a swivel... And the salad just got to our table. I proceeded to stuff bread, salad, chicken, and whatever Con had on her plate in to her mouth while yelling, "YOU BETTER FRIGGIN RECOVER!!!"
And she did. What can I say?!?!? She's a champ for that. I think all the Wifey's were straight HOGGZ and showed it that night... HOTDAMN!
2. MAN, THAT B*TCH CRAZY!
- During the Bride and Groom Speech towards the end of the night, Chris made reference to one of the talented entertainers.
During dinner, there was a lovely trapeze artist who twirled around on a ribbon suspended from the ceiling. It was nuts! But it was awesome.
Actually, as Chris puts it, "Man, did y'all see that chick on the rope? That b*tch crazy!!!" 
1. BILLY JEAN IS NOT MY LOVER
- I heard this song the Tuesday after the wedding and I immediately thought of the wedding. Actually, a specific moment in the wedding. The great band Keith Johnson's All-Stars were playing live at the Chargate Wedding. Right at the peak of dancing, they started to play Michael Jackson's hit "Billy Jean."
One of the groomsmen started to dance like Jacko on the dancefloor. To protect his identity (I don't think he really cares) we'll call him Saul Pasche. Saul was busting a move. A few of us challenged him to get up on stage and bust a move. We actually threw him on stage (I personally had my part in that) where he stole the entire show... He didn't just steal the show- DAMMIT THAT WAS THE MOMENT OF THE WEDDING!!!
It doesn't matter that one of Char's little nephews got on stage next to Saul and battled him out. Its the fact that Saul, otherwise cool, calm & collected without Heen, was on stage, drunk like a m*tha f*cka, grabbing his crotch and dancing like Jacko in front of EVERYONE...
GOOD TIMES? NO... GREAT TIMES? NO... LEGENDARY- Wait for it- DARY? YES
CONGRATS CHARGATE!
