    We were at a wedding last weekend and the groom and the brides father got the legs waxed for cancer.

    My question is it was something different that got a great response so what was different at a wedding you were at?

    Not what he was asking in fairness, he was asking what kinda quirky things you saw at a wedding, but hey, we all have gay friends, some of mine got hitched too... :P

    On topic, at my mates wedding there was this bizarre flatley type dance done by the grooms cousin with this **** Celtic trance type music, was just plain odd, the grannies seemed to enjoy it though!

    No! You know what? NO! There simply cannot be very many weddings this year. Everyone (and their cat) got married last year!!

    NO MORE WEDDINGS!

    There was a betting table where people were encouraged to make bets on how long the marriage would last.


    Not really.

    Was at a wedding in France last year, cousin of my other half. The groom's sister had organised lots of people to dress up as farm animals for the end of the church when the happy couple came out. That was very bizarre - I couldn't hide my mortification for the french that day....

    was a great diversion for an hour in Las Vegas. Would have been a great holiday otherwise. Cost 500 dollars to divorce.

    During the last wedding I attended, the best man spoke for 45 minutes.

    People were ready to kill him.

    Sorry to break it to them but waxing does not cure cancer.

    I was a hotel barman, some speeches were outrageously good and remembered years later and some I was cringing behind the bar

    Some people can cut it fine and get away with dodgy comments like the father of the bride who was talking about bulls and heifers and bringing them to market and so on. He was a legend and pulled it off

    But if you're not funny don't even dare doing it.
    What's funny in your head will end up insulting half the room

    Barmen know and see everything :cool:

    I was bridesmaid at a wedding last year and at midnight when everyone was fairly well on, up rolls a huge chipper van outside the marque, the staff all dressed really smartly in black and white uniforms. Think it was the best burger and chips i ever had. :D The look on everyones faces was priceless when they realised they didnt have to endure ham sambos and lukewarm cocktail sausages like every other wedding they'd been to.

    The last wedding I was at was mine. That was different. I had to make a speech. My new wife made a speech but she broke down in tears not because of me, I hasten to add.

    What was different, was that almost everyone said it was the most relaxed wedding they ever attended. That came from my family who are not noted for being diplomatic or fair to me!

    Not counting my wedding, the last wedding I attended was in Bilbao. There was about ten courses at the dinner. The bride and groom both made brilliant speeches. The best man made a fool of himself. The bride made an unscripted speech which was brilliant and funny. Genius, which is what she is.

    That was different. Also the priest was a gay Jesuit if that wasn't enough.

    My old flatmates had one of their first dances at their wedding to a song about zombies.

    I'd forgotten about this. Was at step brother in laws wedding in England. They had double booked 2 DJ's for the reception.

    Turned out there was rivalry between the 2 DJ's . So one arrived set up and started spinning the records. Next DJ arrives, words were said, DJ 2 disappears. Ten minutes later he arrives back with a squad with baseball bats who get laid into DJ number 1's entourage.

    All he'll breaks loose. Wedding party scatter. Loads of cops arrive, sirens wailing.

    We eventually reconvene in marquee tent where one guest started playing his violin. Weird atmosphere after that.

    The bride did the double about 6 months later and went to live with some bloke she met on a ferry.

    Nought as strange as folk : )

    They rented a small castle in the middle of amazing countryside - had to do all the setting up themselves, so a lot of work and care went into it. It still worked out the same price as a hotel.
    DJs playing class music, including a swing guy playing 1920s big band really fast-moving stuff. And their dog was there too.

    No specific breed - a mix. Yep, he walked from table to table during the meal. He was lovely. :)

    Buffet meal too.
