wedding crashers

imagine this: you are having your wedding and its just as you pictured (imagine you are malawian or this just wont work) you are dressed in your white gown and your husband in his tux. Its just great your in love and as usual at a malawian wedding people come up to the stage at the reception and dance in front of you and through money. Then a big bus pulls up and a bunch of white folks get off. awkwardly dance around and give you money. Though they continue to stare awkwardly in amazement. your wedding has just become a show... a tourist attraction. awkward and rude.... yes. and we did that not once but count them TWICE and all in the span of three hours. HMM not cool to me. But our director knew the folks and said it would be cool. I dont know though. we walked in and everyone stared at us. its the brides day stare at her. i woulda been upset for sure.
