“Alright, stop. Grab your drink and listen.”
Rachel Winterbottom really wanted to do a special toast at her sister Hayley O'Brien's Aug. 2 wedding to her husband Paul — a song, to be exact. The only problem? She can't sing.

Instead, she made sweet, sweet lemonade out of those lemons and shut. it. down. with a rap to the tune of Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby."

She starts with a beat-perfect, "Alright, stop. Grab your drink and listen."
And instead of "Ice ice baby," it's "They're married, baby."

Rachel, who memorized the entire 3 1/2-minute performance, then works in their personalities ("H is hot like a candle / Paul's laid back so its easy to handle"), all in the song's rhyme scheme.
"Love it or hate it Paul's always in the gym / He trains like a beast just ask our Kim / If there was a problem they can solve it / Pass H the wine she'll always involve it."
That's Rachel's daughter in the background, checking out the hook while her mom revolves it.
