Humor - Mexican vs Caucasian Wedding (Warning, Not Politically Correct)
This was sent to me by a Mexican friend.
Mexican Vs White (Caucasian) Weddings
WHITES: Send out invitations.
MEXICANS: Send out maps.
WHITES: Receive their invitations three months in advance.
MEXICANS: Find out about the wedding 3 hours before.
WHITES: Have seven bridesmaids.
MEXICANS: Have forty-seven Padrinos (sponsors).
WHITES: RSVP their invitation.
MEXICANS: Show up with three car loads, and are waiting for the rest of their family that got stuck at the train station.
WHITES: Go to the wedding AND the reception.
MEXICANS: Just go to the reception.
AND AT THE HOUSE PARTY AFTER
WHITES: Have elegant food.
MEXICANS: Have arroz, frijoles and brisket.
WHITES: Order the cake from a bakery.
MEXICANS: Have their cake done by la señora down the street.
WHITES: Eat the food and cake.
MEXICANS: Eat the food and cake...AND take some home para la familia that couldn't make it.
WHITES: At the reception, they drink wine
MEXICANS: At the reception, they drink Coors, Budweiser. Bud Light, Bud Ice, Corona , Tecate, Pacifico, Casadores, Patron, Presidente, Jose Cuervo
Gusano's, Reposado, and whatever else could fit in the cooler they bought at HEB
WHITES: Relatives get drunk and pass out.
MEXICANS: Get drunk, shed a few tears and start singing to Vicente Fernandez songs, tell you they love you sooooo much, fight with you, then pass out.
WHITES: Dance at the party...YEAH RIGHT!!!
MEXICANS: Dance at the party to Norteñas, Rancheras, Reggae, Rap,Old school, Oldies, etc.
WHITES: Party ends at midnight.
MEXICANS: Party ends when the COPS show up.
WHITES: Wake up the next morning NOT WANTING another beer.
MEXICANS: Wake up the next morning still holding a beer.
Now, you know you were laughing - cuz you've done at least 6 of these. I sure have!!!
Send this to all of those to those who have a sense of humor and are Proud to be MEXICAN and to the Gringos who love you for being a MEXICAN!

Great post. How true, how true.
Loved the one about the party ending when the cops show up.
Prior to my retirement, when I would get a call to the barrio about a loud Mexican wedding party, the offending party giver would always bring me
inside, introduce me to the wedding couple, offer me a cerveza, a tequila shooter and a plate full of great Mexican food. Couldn't do the alcohol,
 but can they ever cook!

So long as this thread is so loving (yet politically incorrect) I must submit ( and please don't flame me) the following
" busier than..."one liner that I really like (my love for my Mexican neighbors is well known) because it fits.
"Busier than the jumper cables at a Mexican wedding."

laughable
my big bro has some great one liners....
He is a co owner of our Baja hideaway and loves our local friends and neighbors (almost) as much as I do....
It is with humor, but not disrespect that he says:
"Shakin' like the Mexican Space Shuttle"
which is right up there with:
"Shakin' like a cold Chihuahua"
I think we need some of our Mx. National Nomads to join in here.... I'm sure there are a few great gringo jokes we should all be laughing to also !
My old friend Jack  (RIP) whom I made a few early trips to Baja with used to
say:
"No point in taking life too seriously, 'cause you'll never get out of it alive ! "
Its all just stuff and some numbers.
A day spent sailing isn\'t deducted from one\'s life.
Peace, Love, and Music
