We did a gig at the Marquee and we were supposed to be paid five pounds but we never got it, and it cost us something like 10 pounds in petrol to get there to do it. So what we did was steal some equipment from The Marquee.

It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.

The one thing that I'm in charge of in this wedding is the food.

I find weddings too procedural sometimes. I just want a big, fun party.

You know, not everybody can afford to pay $58 for prime rib or $650 for a bottle of wine. My friends and I cook for regular families who worry about feeding their kids and paying the bills.

How cool it is to see a bride walking down the aisle with a beautiful long gown with beautiful layers of tulle and organza, unveiling their mini dress at the party?

And we've got a toaster and everything. So there is no reason for the wedding.

In one hotel, the maid who built the fire fainted in our room. Exhaustion was the cause. We talked with her later and learned that she worked 17 hours a day and makes 95 marks a month - about 50 cents.

Well, I'll tell you something, this wedding is something that I will always, always cherish. It was a show of love and support and kindness like I'd never seen from the people, and that's who I entertain. I entertain the people.

I am usually part of any disaster at a wedding if I'm a bridesmaid, which I've been lucky enough to be several times.
