A Very Sordid Wedding Page #11

fits these two couples.

How can anybody look upon

these units and question love?

If you are here, and you can't see the love

that's goin' on in here,

somethin's wrong with you. Amen.

- [Audience] Amen.

- Amen.

- [Audience] Amen.

- Amen.

I don't say "do not speak."

I don't say, "forever hold your peace."

I say get up,

get your ass out of here.

[laughs] Mama...

You need to leave. You

need to go now. Get out!

Now I think we're all

right. Everybody's good here.

That's not to say there

are not a**holes out there.

- I warned 'em.

- No, they're there.

Hey, this is my kind of preachin'.

But it's the truth, it's the truth.

Bigots, folks who wanna tell

you how to live your lives.

But I want you son, to live your life

with the beautiful man you love.

And I want the two of you...

what's your name again, girl?

- LaVonda.

- LaVonda.

That's a very black name.

And what's your name?

I'm Wardell.

Two of 'em, thank you.

And the two of you, we want you to live

in the love that you've

been holdin' for each other

for such a long time. It's manifesting.

Because love is here.

'Cause it's nobody's business,

tellin' you who to love.

How to love, nobody.

I wanna welcome you, Ty,

and you and your crazy kind of family,

I love 'em but they're a little different.

- Yeah.

- They're a little different.

But you know what?

We're celebratin' differences.

We gonna celebrate the differences,

'cause that's what life is.

That's what love is.

Now, who wants to go first

when it comes to the vows?

Well, since this is our 50th time,

I think we'll just make ours

short and sweet. [laughing]

In my home state of Texas,

I take you, Kyle Coleman,

to be my lawfully wedded husband, again.

Ditto.

All right, all right.

Princess Diana would approve.

LaVonda and Wardell.

Wardell, do you take LaVonda

to be your lawfully wedded wife?

I do.

- Look at him grinnin'.

- Yeah.

And Miss LaVonda, do you...?

You could just skip

all that other bullshit.

Mm-hm.

'Cause I do too. [laughing]

Darn that, by the powers

vested in me, I pronounce you

husband and husband, and husband and wife.

You may kiss your respective loved ones.

[audience applauding and cheering]

- Yes!

- [audience member] Amen.

Can y'all f***in' believe it?

[stammers]

Ain't it a b*tch

Sortin' out our Sordid lives

It's a b*tch

When you come to realize

Get yourself a box

Of Cracker Jacks

And then you get a

Really shitty prize

It's a b*tch

Sortin' out Our sorry little

Sordid lives

[laughing]

["Weathered Town" playing]

Moving past the signpost

Of this tiny Weathered town

The tears welled

up So high inside

I thought that I might drown

Everything is different

But it all looks the same

And now you're

here Beside me

And I'm rid of All my shame

I just hope that

They will see

What has always been in me

How much do I love you?

Will they understand

Everything it took for us

To get those wedding bands?

The road ain't Always pretty

And home sometimes Seems far

With twists and turns

And lessons learned

Growing pains and scars

But it's time For me to say

This is who we are

When I was a small boy

I never thought there'd be

That perfect happy ending

For anyone like me

I could read the signals

The fake smiles and

The bless his heart's

And I still hear

The whispered words

That said I'd

Never be a part

Now I want them all to see

The strength of you and me

How much do I love you?

Will they understand

Everything it means for us

To have those Wedding bands?

The road ain't Always pretty

And home sometimes Seems far

With twists and turns

And lessons learned

Growing pains and scars

But it's time For me to say

This is who we are

The day I stood before

You and I made that vow

It wasn't just a promise

For the here and now

The rings are just the

Start of all that we can be

And I want the world to see

Because

That's how much

I love you...

What'd I miss?
