My Big Fat Blazers Wedding

Pardon my absence from the site the last couple of days, a true "g" is getting married this Friday so I've been busy trying to talk him out of it celebrate the occasion in Las Vegas.  Actually, this is the first wedding I've ever been remotely affiliated with (sad, I know) so I've really just been spending the last 4 or 5 days trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

Boring interlude aside, this brings me to the topic at hand.  Jay Allen over at 95.5 The Game recently got married.  Brian Wheeler noted on his radio show that Mr. Allen asked him to do some announcing at the wedding. 

This, of course, got me thinking about building the ultimate Blazers wedding.

Obviously... this is a job for BE; one man alone cannot possibly do this.

So, let's say you or a friend or your child is getting married and you have the run of the entire Blazers team, front office, organization, and the Blazers media (television, newspaper, radio, web, etc.).  You're getting ready to call in every favor in the book to ensure the ideal Blazers wedding.  Who serves what role?

Let me kick this off with the most obvious: Paul Allen is the Father of the Bride.  If you want to do this right, daddy warbucks gotta be in charge of paying for this shindig. 

Test2_copy_medium

I'm not saying I'm a gold digger... but, yeah, I guess I am.

(yes, I realize his neck is jacked up, my bad)

One of my coworkers, amusingly, nominated Travis Outlaw as the Flower Girl.

Hmmmmm.....  Anne, I'll let you have the final judgement on this one.  Somebody want to put a bow on his head?  I'm all photoshopped out.

So... you can take this seriously or in jest, but, either way, you must help me build the ultimate Blazers wedding.   Note: Absolutely every position is available (security, wedding singer, limo driver... your imagination is the only limitation here). 

Do that there... starting... now.

Duckworth has got to be the best man

With his affinity for Strip Clubs, who better to pick? He HAS to know the best places to go for the bachelor party-the single most important piece of the wedding festivities…I think Kersey would probably be good as a groomsman as well.

He has to be the one in charge, but should he be in charge of the ceremony or reception.

Wedding planner, though he wouldn't need to talk like Fronk

Great position for him. He could trade needed equipment and personnel with other weddings for cash and future wedding coupons.

Jarrett Jack is the limo driver.

Let’s face it, he’s perfect. He could carry on a conversation with the couple in the limo, but hiis best asset is his ability to drive (even if he goes outside the lines a little bit). Afterward, he will go straight to the airport, happy couple in tow, and catch his own plane to the next wedding.

I hear it’s a very nice couple from Indiana who were quite impressed with his (limo-)driving skills.

OK

Sergio is the janitor who sweeps up afterwards. Even if he has mad skillz nobody is going to notice.

Ruben Patterson is the grandmother of the bride. Always complaining and telling folks how (s)he thinks it should be done but nobody cares.

Lamarcus and Martell are ushers who are scamming on everybody in a dress.

Mike Rice is a relative by marriage to a cousin of the groom and eats all of the hors d’oeuvres before the service is over.

Maurice Lucas – Security, obvs.

Blaze the TrailCat – Two-year-old who won’t stop screaming during the vows.

Sheed – Funeral crasher at the wrong venue.

Rudy – Millionaire cousin who took a week off and flew from Spain just to attend.

Channing Frye – Just happy to be there.

Clyde the Glide – 40-something relative who married a 20-something from Houston.

Scottie Pippen – 40-something in-law who married a 20-something relative.

Bill Walton – The one who gets all nervous when they say “if anyone has any objections, let them speak now or forever hold their peace”

Martell – Catches the bouquet(?)

As in..

could be the next bride, whereas “catching the bouquet” would mean will be the next. That’s how the bouquet thing works, right?

I interpreted the question mark as “Martell should maybe catch the bouquet? I’m not sure?” thus inviting other ideas. I suspect that’s how Jorga read it as well.

Oh, gotcha. And gotcha.

Sorry for any confusion – I totally see how that could be interpreted as such.

It was more of a play on “Martell = Potentially Good” or whatever. Now I’m just beating something that was kind of an afterthought totally into the ground. Could we just call this case closed? I feel like I’m dying up here – try the veal!

It would be alive without this “stretching”. However, stories like this one (and many of the OT fan posts) are just people who enjoy the company around here and simply have fun with one another.

My mom said she saw PA reading in a window at Powell's during the 70's once

She could have been lying just to get me all excited and to behave. Kind of how I tell my son Santa is @ the Mall. She would say , ” OMYGAWD Sophia I saw PA at Powells once! ” LOL Fitting

Or wait, is that his rookie card?

That was classic!

Of all the kids I knew growing up who were busy making fake ID’s to buy beer… I was the only one making fake rookie cards of myself with scissors, glue, and my YMCA youth league photos. I think my parents have them kept somewhere safe… I need to look in to that. :-)

when you stumble across that 84 MJ rookie card you might get a little upset….

I knew better than that

I always made sure I used the card of some unknown whiteboy PG… I think it was some guy named Pritchard. :-P

I wouldn’t ever think of committing such an atrocity against basketball.

Well

If you don’t need that many groomsmen I would also qualify for mother of the bride, at least by the criteria you’ve laid down.

The kid had a little Captain in him, eh?

I guess that’s better than the old Damon Stoudamire/Robert Parish/Cheech and Chong method.

My Dream Wedding

Bartender=Jerryd Bayless, because the Bayless face will keep the crazy uncle from getting that shot of tequila
Crazy Uncle=Cliff Robinson, already an Uncle
Toastmaster=Bill Walton, for his ability to spin a compliment in 300 words or more
Caterer=Channing Frye, because I want a Buffet of Goodness
Decorations=Mike Scanlon, knows how to make a building look good
Bride=Ione, because this is a dream, right?
Band=Terry Porter, Buck Williams, Jerome Kersey, and Kevin Duckworth, so they can play “Bust a Bucket”
Ring Bearer=Dr. Jack Ramsay, brought Portland a ring, can bring me one, too (plaid jacket and psychedelic pants mandatory)

for some reason, i just kept envisioning

rebecca harlow for the bride, but i kinda like your call on that one, rebecca could be the little gossup hound that isnt a part of the bridesmaids(all blazers dancers)

i like caitlyn,

band is perfect

ringberrer is brillient, sooo obvious

maybee mike rice could serve as the barkeep, dont want to see him in a gstring, and can actually envision him falling into the cake much eisier then jumping out of it.

Haha! Perfect. I've never seen anyone jump out of a cake but somehow

I think that’s what you should expect to see jump out of a cake, or the equivalent thereof. Mike Rice in a g-string. Hahahhahhaaa!
