If nothing else good comes from this, at least no one who sees the video will ever ask you to tape their weddings.

Is it just me or did this wedding sound remarkably like an episode of Cheers? You know, the one where Norm and Cliff get paid to videotape a family reunion and the battery dies in the first 30 seconds. And who says nature doesn't imitate art! And who says I didn't watch way to much TV when I was growing up???

I know you like to exagerate, Uncle Bob, but what exactly do you mean when you said your father almost killed you? Did he beat you within an inch of your life? What?

She's your sister, she should have known what you were capable of. You rank up there with my brother who said he's shoot all the pictures of my graduation ... and didn't know how to work his camera. It's ok. It only hurts when I think about it .... If there ever is a next time and you are trying to say "I'm not a professional" and you can't just say "I just might fuck it up" at least add the phrase "I sincerely think you are taking a risk having me do this" and give them your sister's number.

Yep. The lack of thought induced by a few drinks too many. There is much love coming from my direction. Though not in a threesome.

I will never video a wedding again. Never. I arrived at 3pm for a 2pm wedding and my friends have never spoken to us again..so the next one I was there early, huge wedding, was doing great and had a very good battery and JUST as the bride and her father got through with the walk the film clicked off. I freaked out--TOTALLY. Played with the camera and got it back on in about 2 minutes. But I decided that was a sign from God that this was it for me. My video camera is 14 years old and has never clicked off like that before or since. Now I say-I want to enjoy the wedding. Pay a professional and shut up! LOL

man, that was brilliant. Sadly, I've done similar things...without the 'aid' of alchohol. Damnit. Good on ya though. A wedding isnt complete without a video freak out. Or a drunk. Wedding 0-Uncle Bob 2

Oh. My. God! Ow. Owowowowowow. I now hurt sooo bad from laughing, especially over the last part. Thanks, needed that after my weekend.

Oh wow... I was laughing so hard over the laugh part I'm still crying! That was hilarious. I read daily but have never commented before. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you're the Diaryland king!!!

No offense, UB, but your entries might not seem so long if you didn't break every sentence up into its own paragraph. Just a thought. :D

I would rather have the responsibility of someone's life in my hands than the responsibility of filming an important event. You screw up on filming the wedding, they hold it against you for the rest of their life. You screw up on keeping them alive.. Hey, what can they do?

You film-messing pill-popping insomniacs! Kudos to you, Uncle Bob. You truly are the leader of diaryland...in a totalitarianism state. Bravo.

This is some of the funniest stuff I've read in AGES!!! Sounds like my ex-husband's family, and now that they're exes, I can REALLY laugh!

I haven't laughed like that in a long time. What a story! Only you, UB.

This is exactly why I refuse to attend family get togethers. There are just some things I DO NOT need to know about the people I'm related to! Haha! Great entry.
