During their wedding reception last weekend at Luigi's Diner in Fontana, California, Jose and Ana Carrillo were humiliated as they witnessed a simple gaffe turn their perfect wedding reception into chaos. The embarrassing experience took place during the toast, when the groom's mother, irritated beyond recognition, instructed best man Pepe Aceves to be formal and stop referring to her son by his nickname. The simple instruction dumbfounded the best man, who admitted to a shocked crowd that he did not know the groom's real name, thiking all along that his nickname "Canelo" was his real name.
After the revelation, One of the kitchen workers, who was preparing the diner at the time, reported to have felt the walls shake as the crowd gasped and awed at the news. The initial shock of the crowd immediately turned to amusement, and the room was filled with uncontrolled laughter.
Once the crowd eventually settled down, witnesses report that the groom looked at Pepe with bewildered eyes and said "Are you serious bro? My name is Jose", to which Pepe responded in astonishment, "What? We got the same name? All this time...".
Upon hearing this, one of the bride's cousins named Claudia, who was noticeably annoyed by the humiliation, yelled out, "You're name's not Jose stupid! it's Pepe! stop playing around, you're embarassing my cousin!", to which Pepe's cousin Chato replied, "Pepe is the name for Jose, idiot!". Claudia's boyfriend, Piojo, got in on the action and threatened Chato for disrespecting his girlfriend. At this point, the entire room broke into a ruckus. Half the crowd yelling insults at each other, and the other half asking others if Pepe was really the same as Jose.
As a result of the mayhem, the bride broke down crying, and the groom, whose best man had started all this, could do nothing to comfort her. The bride's father finally stepped in, grabbed the microfone, and reportedly said in a raised voice "O se calman cabrones, o los calmo!". Upon hearing this, the crowd settled down, put their differences aside, and the reception continued with no more major interruptions.
Later on in the night, a friend went over to Claudia's boyfriend, Piojo, and asked "Hey bro, how about you give me your real name right now so we can save ourselves the hassle in the future".
When asked later how it had been possible that he did not know his friend's real name, Pepe replied: "I've known him as Canelo since the age of 8 and never though twice that that wasn't his real name - especially considering that all his relatives also refered to him as Canelo. Not once did I hear someone refer to him as Jose. In my defense, I didn't really forget his real name, I just never knew it before the wedding".
