the wedding pimp

While working weddings, you see the best and worst of everything. Regardless, you always meet interesting people along the way.

There was a guest who was definitely a pimp. He was decked out from head and toe in purple and even had the hat and cane. He probably had a ring, with some serious bling-bling, on every finger. He provided many laughs for the waitstaff during the night, but the best came after dinner service.

He was hanging out at the bar while everyone was dancing and celebrating the night away. He started making small talk with the wedding director, who coordinates with the wedding party and announces dinner and such.

Well, this small talk seemed to get a tad cozier as the minutes rolled on. Passing the two while clearing some tables, I began to see the uncomfortable expression upon the director's face just continue to grow and grow. Obviously, the pimp wanted to get cozy with the director...in a way the director was not comfortable with.

The pimp turned out to be less than straight, to the directors dismay, and when the pimp tried to put his arm around him, he yelled "Boy, you try that and I'll rip your arm off!" I, along with some of my co-workers, got to witness this event and laughed uncontrollably about it back in the kitchen.

Needless to say, the rest of the night was packed with jokes about this situation. To clarify, this is NOT a shot towards anyone's sexuality. I have full respect for everyone, but this certain event needed to be retold to an audience. :-)
