Seriously though, It's just a day, a nice suit, a nice meal, a few hymns, a beer or two and it's over. Pish. Both our sets of parents threw us a decent amount of money before our wedding and not only did they have no input, they didn't even make a whisper of wanting any. It's your day, not anyone else's. It's maybe a big day for your parents too, seeing their kids getting married but f**k running your wedding for other people. They've had their day. And nae hymns!

Agree, f**k the hymns but agree with the rest. I suppose I was talking from my experience where both sets of parents paid for everything and didn't have any particular demands so it was a win-win for me. If they had been different, i might have a different idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I haven't been to a wedding since I was a child. I tend to give them a wide berth and don't really see the point in them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I've only ever been to one wedding in my life, and I was 15 at the time. I'm 25 and have been to dozens of funerals, though. Is that an indictment of the type of person I am? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wedding in a church is a public event, hence the if anyone objects etc. The reception is private obviously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBlue62 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Not a chance we will be spending 20k on the wedding. I don't even want to spend what we will be spending but will be max 5k after everything is included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Getting married in Hungary June 2020. Will be grateful for anyone that ends up coming (NOT a PnB open invite!) so don't want gifts or anything.Also her mum insists we invite her cousins etc. f**k that, I'm not even inviting most of my own family.One awkward bit though is inviting one of my half brothers but not the other. I have no ill feeling but he never reaches out see how I am. Ever, for like years. So no invite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
