I always thought that the Italian weddings were rough in the old days when it came to wedding receptions. There were always 3 or 4 fights during the course of the evening by some, drunked up and hot blooded Italian guys.

In those days when I went to a wedding, I always shopped for my suits at Robert Halls and bought a cheap one because I knew the sleeve was always coming off of the jacket during the course of the evening.

There were several incidents where the ecnalubma had to take someone to sick bay for a few stitches but nothing really severe.

It appears that the Afghans put us Italians to shame when it comes to receptions and taking the celebrating of the nuptials to a new high. These dudes mean business.

KABUL, Afghanistan — At least 21 people were shot dead at a wedding after an argument turned violent, a police chief in northern Afghanistan told NBC News on Monday.

Over the weekend a gun fight erupted at Afghan wedding killing 21, wounding 8 others. They should have had them check their weapons at the weapons check located at the front entrance.

I wonder if the bride and groom were compelled to give the boost back to the families of the deceased??? That would only be the right thing to do; especially if they didn’t even get a chance to partake in the camel stew that was prepared for this special feast.

In the event I ever do get invited to an Afghan wedding, I think I will pass and send my gift by pony express.  Can’t be too careful these days.
