Is it bad that the TX State Troopers showed up?

ANYWAYS... this past weekend I was in Austin, TX because my brother was getting married. All was good and well untill Friday morning. This is how the show went down.

Thursday I meet my Sister, Nephew and family at Houston George Bush Intercontenental and we get a move on. We stop in Fayetteville for a visit with my Uncle, had a tasty lunch and went on our way. Soon we're in Houston and we easily find our hotel get unpacked and take a nap. Then my nephew(whos 4 and absoloutely ADOREABLE) goes nuts and we have to go swimming. Then we get dinner, hit up the Wal Mart and go to bed for the night.

Friday the day from hell. I never thought Id see the day when I actually am willing to kill my family. Again my nephew has the need to go swimming. Its about 9 am and we get up, have breakfast, and head down to the pool. Soon his Mom, my Mom and Grandma show up. We chill in the hot tub while he plays in the cold ass pool. My Grandma starts talking.. and she doesnt speak English well so I just kinda tune it out since shes directing it towards my Mom. Suddenly my Mom is getting upset and she says "we're going upstairs" and points to my Grandma to get out of the hot tub. I know that shes off to have it out with Grandma but I didnt think WWIII was coming. So my sister and I are watching the baby swim and we talk when we see the man from the front desk come out and approach us. He tells us we are wanted back in out suite and we say "oh shit". He tries to be nice by saying "she didnt sound mad" but we both knew that the shit had hit the fan. We're not even out of the elevator and we can hear them yelling. We also had a corner suite so it was a good walk to the suite from the elevator. Well we get in the suite and my Grandma is trying to run away.. WTF yo. My Mom is crying and she says shes called my Dad and 2 brothers off the golf course. That is like a no no so something must have went down. So my Mom and I have to stand guard like the Gestapo while I call my Uncle to see if he will come get her because Grandma isnt talking anymore. Shes just doing some kind of death vodoo stare. So I get my Uncle on the phone and he wants to talk to Grandma, my Mom hands the phone to her and she hits it out of my Moms hand. Then she starts trying to beat my Mom.. yeah right my Mom is a foot taller than her and twice her size. Then she goes off on this tangent about how we're trying to kill her.. my Dad, Brother, Mom, Uncle and I are out to kill her. She also KNOWS my Dad isnt golfing, hes with my Uncles crazy wife and they're out to kill my Uncle. So my Uncle agrees to take her for the weekend and we wait for my Dad to get home from the Golf Course. He gets back and Ive NEVER seen my Dad so pissed in my life. Even when my Sister Heather dropped out of high school and ran away because she was pregnant, even when he found out her husband burned the shit out of my neice... he wasnt mad like this. So he comes in and tries to talk some sense into her.. I guess he convinces her to go downstairs and try to get her into the car. We get downstairs and the nice valet boy brings our van around. She refuses to get in.. so we call my Uncle again and he says hes on his way. She wants a taxi... taxis dont go that far so we have to like corner her and wait on my uncle. Great the whole hotel can see my family making an ass of themselves. We're not at a white trash place either... so everyone passing by is probably mocking us. Somehow Grandma gets out and crosses the street.. we stayed at the Doubletree on 15th and Guadalupe for those of you in Austin... and shes standing in the center median protesting or something. The city cops come by and say they cant do much but we're accross from the State Attorney Generals office so the Texas State Troopers come out and say they'll arrest her if she doesnt move to the sidewalk. So she says arrest me.. and out of pure kindness they let my little bro stand out there with her and finally get her accross the street after an hour in the center median. Then they're waiting on my uncle and I come back down from the suite and see them accross the street. My Nephew and I walk accross the street and find out whats up she starts beatin on the State Trooper. We cant touch her or she freaking beats on us too... so the Troopers are being nice since my Uncle is a few miles away. I decide I cant handle this and I go back to the hotel in search of those FANTASTIC cookies they give you at check in. The guy at the front desk recognizes me and gives me a dozen. (out of pity Im sure) Soon my mom calls my cell to say I need to come back down my Uncle is getting off the interstate. He pulls up and she refuses to get in his car, the Troopers say get in or we arrest you.. she says "arrest me" and so does everyone else at this point. Finally she gets in my uncles car and they go back to his house. Then she sat in his car for 3 hours once they were home. They cant Baker Act her since shes out of state, but we dont know what to do either. We are just glad shes GONE. We head back to the suite and go to see the bats on the bridge with my nephew. Then we have to get ready for rehersal and the rehersal dinner.

Rehersal goes well.. except my sister Beth and her son are like outcasts and completely left out of the wedding. This pisses her off and my parents off. Things go ok.. no drama. We head over to The County Line on the lake and chow down. FUCKING GREAT FOOD. OMG I was such a piggie. MMMMMMMMMMM! Then its time to give a toast...my Dad gets up and he is tearing up as he finishes which is typical.. and the Brides Dad gets up and says "Im not going to get all emotional tonight" which pissed my mom off.. and we're all drunk at this point... so shes just burning up inside to tell this man off and she cant. Then my brother gets up to say thanks, that everything was going smoothly and he cant wait for tomorrow. Then my sister Heathers table goes up in flames. Apparently one of her brats knocked a candle over. Someone poured liquor on it to put it out.. WTF are we STOOPID...finally we get it put out and we go home.

That was the biggest drama of the weekend..the wedding was fucking weird, the bride starts freaking because we're not exactly on time and pictures are taking too long. She has to make a grand entrance at her reception...her white limo is waiting and she is FREAKING. The reception is good and her parents are trashed. Her mom keeps screaming something about David when her husband is like William or something. My Dad's ex wife(my brothers mom) is being a bitch and we're pounding down the booze. Life is good.

Im locking my family in their house, forever.
