La Liz



Of all the great society weddings I have been to, I must give honor to that of Sister Dimension's in the glory days of Susanne Bartch's Copacabana. Sister had been Susanne's Dj for many years and was a club icon when she incongruously decided to tie the knot with a low-life, ghetto boy named Boy Stab. I mean, REALLY, who marries someone named Boy Stab; surely you arrange for a name change of some sort: perhaps Cornelius Stab-Whitney.

In any event we were caught up in the moment and went along with it all in the spirit of mindless entertainment. And, great fun it was. The club was packed that night with not a single dilettante wishing to miss the function. There must have been twenty bridesmaids dancing on stage as The Wedding March began and Sister, in a huge wedding gown and many attendants, walked through the adoring crowd. Somehow, I maintained the wherewithal to video the ceremony as La Liz, pictured here that night, conducted a ceremony in which Boy Stab couldn't even remember how to say, "I do" to. It was all such fun.

When La Liz asked if there was anyone, ANYONE, who objected to the union, music suddenly start to play and The "Lady" Bunny (Maid of Honor) stepped to the forefront and sang a rousing rendition of "It Should Have Been Me". When I look at the video today, I see the manic nature of the crowd and my own swaying, if artistic, filming and think, "They just don't make weddings like that anymore."
