Photo Shoots, Cops, & Cheese Cubes

It would take a novel to fully illustrate the craziness of this weekend's festivities surrounding the cousin marrying the best friend wedding. So I'll have to give the nutshell version, which isn't nearly as funny.

Thursday night I decided on a low-key shindig at my place since everyone had just arrived in town. Between the hours of 8p and 5a, we managed to take over 100 hilarious pictures, drain my fully stocked bar, whip cheese cubes at one another (a new one in my book), jam to really good tunes, have a run-in with the cops at my front door (despite Jag's motherly warnings - luckily I had a legal advisor standing by), go to a bar in the wee hours, and later be serenaded by Todd's rendition of Everlast's What It's Like (can serenade and Everlast be in the same sentence?). I also discovered that three girls can sleep in my bed quite comfortably, as Julie, Erin and I snoozed away. I can't imagine if I had a king.


Friday was a wasteful day, due the the mass consumption of alcohol the night before. I managed to get through the wedding rehearsal and then roll in to the rehearsal dinner at Amerigos in a zombie-like fashion. The food was fab, company was awesome, and I enjoyed my last conversations with the "still single" bride and groom. It was then that I started to get that happy cry feeling that would last for the next 24 hours.


And Saturday...I'm going to have to do a Part 2 on the weekend. Too tired, going to pass out. Stay tuned for funnies, including more cops, the real Elvis, and a disco party cab ride at 4a.

    I think I still have an indent in my forehead from a cheese cube that was traveling around 40mph when it was whipped at me from left field.....Fun times.

    By the way, I've always wondered, are serenading and wooing the same thing? Maybe Julie knows the answer....haha

    Still thinking about those 3 girls in the same bed.

    Did you guys get any pictures of that?

    We got pictures of everything. You know this.

    Dude...I even found a cheesecube in my bathroom. We could've had a meal in there...barley and cheesecubes. Complete with musical entertainment.

    Listen Mr. Roboto, the only thing you're good for is doing The Roboto! haha, Damn! I never got to see that! Although, I believe, somewhere between me playing the air guitar on my leg and busting out my famous knee dance, I just may have done my own form of the Roboto at the wedding!

    Pictures...yes...

    You must learn the ways of posting pictures.

    Oh don't you worry Julie, I've got the snake jaw picture, along with close to 200 other late nite faces. I'll send the cd to Jill sometime this week!

    That one and the one of me holding the butcher knife up to my sister's throat. No one will ever know...

    Don't worry Blake. If they can't post some of the pictures, TNF will proudly display some.

    What's funny is that I left my camera at home, thinking that Jill's cousins would think I was crazy for taking pictures of them. Of course, by 1am, they were asking me to take pictures of their derrieres with their own cameras.

    They are a very weird, super hot (hi ciaobella!) family.

    Who knew that an innocent butt shot would create a slanted mantel, unbreakable glass plummeting to the breakable tile below, and the oh so treasured, shattered genuine "wood" candle stick holder. Ah Roboto, you only saw a small fraction of the chaos, madness, and memorable times the Presley family can create. Glad you were there to take part in it! Not sure if I'll make it back before Jill takes off to the greener pastures of L.A so maybe everyone will have to come on over to AZ!!

    Why is it all of a sudden showing half of us as unknowns?!? I have no time for this! It was showing up earlier!

    I left when I sensed things going bad, i.e. when the fiances started arguing and I was asked to take one on a smoke-run. I didn't want to get in a family fight.

    But I interpret your words as a personal invite to come to AZ.

    The cops were bad enough, so I am muy happy I missed the squabbling. You people are crazy nuts. Seriously. And there's no more cousins left for me to marry! Wait, there's still T. Ciaobella, wanna be sisters-in-law?

    Ah yes, the smoke run demands from my soon to be cousin. I guess Jill could fill you in on how that turned out. By that time (5am ish), I managed to find a comfy spot in the bed with ol' snake jaw and a puddle of barley. haha

    As for the AZ invite, my door is always open for Tennessee guests :o)

    Jag - I believe you are already taken with the all star steak man. You MUST resist the Presley (I guess Bailey in this case) temptations! haha! Hmmm, a sister-in-law. Could be fun. Could ya handle it? I could slowly mold your family into the chaotic Presley fam.

    The star streak man?

    I get enough Presley action. I never thought I'd say it, but after weeks like this, I look to my family for sanity.

    Jag - The star STEAK man, as in bad ass chef, as in steak wrapped in bacon and garlic that rocked my world! I'm coming back for more!

    Julie - I think it would have taken a lot more than reason to stop the ciggie run. Hey, I didn't get the direct pleasure of having a beer soaked scalp, however, I was lucky enough to be covered in the scent of all of it from the barley sheets. Love it!

    So, who was throwing beer?

    And, by the way, I believe it was me who made those steaks. Didn't you know that chefs don't cook at home?

    The beer throwing?

    It was more like getting slimed on "You Can't Do That On Television".

    I was thinking more along the lines of Ghostbusters slime...haha What I really liked was the straight up denial after the "incident" occured.

    Ghostbusters?

    Roda onga!!!
