NJ2 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Why the f**k would she ask for lighters when she’s got a gas cooker have you not been paying any attention?Aye but then the kitchen is always reeking when he wants to put hot water in his pot noodle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Congrats! I loved planning our wedding. Ruggy did f**k all. The most important thing for me was to make sure our guests were well fed. There is nothing worse than having people waiting about for ages with no food. We got married at House For An Art Lover in Glasgow. Great venue and amazing food. Not too pricey either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Walking up the steps of the (now redeveloped (prophetic!)) church in Bridge of Allan 20+ years ago, my best mate implored me it wasn’t too late to turn around. Apparently, my now wife had the same chat from her dad on the way to her first wedding 20+ years ago. We were both young and headstrong and went through with it with the inevitable endings. We then met up for the first time 20 years after those words of wisdom and have the experience to tell. Married life, now that I’ve done it in my 40s, is everything it ever should be. Tl;dr - if it’s 100%, absolutely go for it. But you’re harbouring any nagging doubts, don’t. Much like the buy cheap, buy twice adage. Do it once, do it right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I probably remain in touch with under half of the people who attended my wedding. Do what you want, not what others expect. If I could do it again, I’d get married abroad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, or go even cheaper and just get it done and then announce that you are married to all your friends after the event. The best wedding I ever went to was one where the bride and groom had cut all their costs by getting married in front of just their parents and grandparents. They took them out to a restaurant afterwards and bought them dinner, before going on to a hall where all their evening guests were waiting and where the ska band, Esperanza, were booked as the wedding band. It was superb, everyone was up dancing all night and way better than spending time in church listening to some boring priest / minister going through the motions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the parents and grandparents just go home after the registry office and curry? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to more traditional weddings where the grandparents have gone home when the wedding band started playing, or when the DJ turned the music up anyway. It's not like there's a corner where the pensioners go for a game of dominos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I remember it was there was loads of Madness covers but that's maybe cause they were the tunes I recognised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 11 hours ago, Melanius Mullarkey said: I have mentioned this on here before but I was once the best man at a wedding in Estonia. The guests were mostly Russian and my hilarious best man speech was translated as i went along. My wedding was quite good fun to be honest as it was the first (and last) time I saw quite a few of my mates. Well that was a disappointing response, but in your defence I was probably referring more to marriage than an actual wedding. I'll just wait on a marriage thread starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Was fairly recently an integral participant in a Big Italian Wedding. Rule 1: Ignore the cynics on this thread and enjoy whatever you want to do Rule 2: Ignore all of the miscellaneous relatives (frequently dreadful aunties) who feel like they deserve an opinion Rule 3: If at all possible avoid telling any merchant you are buying supplies for a wedding, the Marriage Industrial Complex will add a massive markup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The most important thing for me was to make sure our guests were well fed. There is nothing worse than having people waiting about for ages with no food. I can think of two weddings I was at when there was a huge gap between the ceremony and the meal where I ended up steaming. But what the f**k else are people going to do in that time period? Ceremony at 1 or 2 and start the dinners at 5 and no later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
