I Don’t Believe For One Second That Beer Pong Was Played At The Royal Wedding

Socrates Johnson7 years ago

Part Kentucky Derby dress-up pageant, part Disney movie, and all-around snooze fest, the Royal Wedding was this past weekend, which is a thing that women in America seemed to care about more so than their own weddings. In the end (spoiler alert), Prince William England, or whatever his last name is, ended up marrying former Price Is Right briefcase girl Meghan Markle.

While everyone who tuned in got to see the whole wedding part, the reception afterwards was more of an off-camera situation. But, from what so-called “reception insiders” leaked to the press, the post-ceremony festivities were pretty lit. James Corden told a few jokes. The bride and groom got down to “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” Serena Williams crushed it in beer pong. Wait, what?

From The Sun:

The bride’s US heritage was marked with the boozy American university drinking game beer pong, where players throw table tennis balls into cups of beers which their opponents then have to consume.

The reception insider said: “Sere­na Williams played beer pong like it was tennis. Everyone had so much fun with it, there were even fireworks.”

No fucking way that there was beer pong at the Royal Wedding. Not a chance. I mean, sure, it’s possible that, as some sort of party trick, Serena Williams was fucking around with a paddle and ping pong ball and knocked the ball into a cup OG beer pong style, and then there were a couple of polite golf claps before everyone got back to waltzing.

But if we’re talking 10 cups, two re-racks, “me-and-the-Duke-of-Buckingham-call-next-game”-style beer pong, that just didn’t happen. Someone just made that up to make the Royal Family sound cool and relatable.

On the off-chance that they did actually play, hypothetically, I can think of only one team that would’ve given Serena a run for her money.
