Yesterday we was to my niece's wedding party and all the girls were crazy for one of the waiters. And I myself have to agree that he was a very good looking guy.

1What doesn't make sense in your sentence is yesterday we was to.– Jason BassfordCommented Jun 1, 2019 at 23:45

Thanks for the explanation, Michael. That was great.– ItamarCommented Jun 1, 2019 at 23:47

Thanks, Jason. Now I can see it's wrong. I should have used "we were" instead.– ItamarCommented Jun 1, 2019 at 23:49

@Itamar Actually, that should be "we went to" not "we were to" or "we was to" although I think "we were to" is used in VERY informal BrE. In AmE, it would be taken as a clear error.– David SiegelCommented Jun 2, 2019 at 0:55

Nice tip, David. Thanks a lot.– ItamarCommented Jun 2, 2019 at 4:08

Consider "crazy for" to mean "very enthusiastic about". We often say that people are "crazy" or "mad" about, or for, something or someone. Figuratively a comparison is being made, perhaps, with obsessive mental illness, although 'crazy about/for' used this way does not imply any abnormality.
Crazy
