As people were shocked, the father of the bride tried to kick him out of the stage, but OP moved to the other side of the bandstand, and kept playing the kazoo. Afterwards, he got into a golf cart and took his girlfriend as they searched for their car to leave, without any further trouble.
OP concluded as, “Knowing the history of my girlfriend and her roommate, occurrences like this were practically par for the course, no pun intended, which led this story to become a staple at their social events. The only downside was that I had to endure a cavity search before I was allowed to go to any more wedding receptions. Not that I would’ve repeated myself, but she wasn’t taking any chances.”
WOMAN WITH THE KIDS

“At one point, they started crawling all over the pews, across the laps of several extremely angry wedding guests, and playing tag in the church, making as much noise as possible.”
“Their mother just sat there, an amused smile plastered all over her face. Never did she once make any move to reprimand the little heathens.”
“I’ll just list what the kids did at the reception. They stuck their hands in the chocolate fountain and then wiped them on a tablecloth. They used the bathroom floor as the toilet and urinated in their pants on the dance floor.”
When OP’s cousin had enough, she had kicked the woman and her children out of the wedding, which the woman cried and left.
