any wedding invited or hear about usually something bad happens at last moment or at the after meal,then couple can barely afford to get married,or the mother or father in law might not agree on who their sons and daughters are marrying..

I cant imagine drinking 6 pints, 4 glasses of champagne, 4 shots jeigermeister and having unsafe sex with a bridesmaid is too healthy.

Find a cleaner bridesmaid and you'll be fine :cool:

A wedding is what you make it, price is usually 75 - 90% covered by gifts anyway, my uncles wedding cost them just over 20k but they got 18k in gifts(both money and gifts that couls be sold :rolleyes:) so not a bad result in my opinion

Not nearly as bad for your health as actually being married

I imagine that would be for the selling gifts part.
Now that's bad form if if someone puts some thought into a gift for you it should be appreciated and not sold on

Apparently, according to some survey I read married people are more content and healthier than unmarried people - I can't remember where I read it though, and I can't remember if married people were healthier than people in relationships but who weren't married or single people - so lets face it. I'm vague on the details here!

Our wedding last year for 90 people came in at about 8 grand in total.
Helped alot to have it during the week, saved money by having it the day before Paddy's day to minimise the amount of time people had to take off
Was a really good day, had a blast as did everyone else

One of my best friends over here is getting married on St.Patrick’s day and I’m going to be the only Irish person at the wedding. A free bar on St.Patrick’s day is defiantly going to be bad for my health!

ok got it, but i mearly meant gifts can be sold,let's say you got a duplicate gift of, for arguments sake, a microwave, would you keep 2? no. did not say they actually sold any, just pointing out the fact that you don't really have to be out that much money with weddings if you keep them small and simple as you get it back in money/unwanted gifts

Weddings.....bad for your wallet and your health. Irish wedding are just very expensive piss ups.(savage craic though!)

greenybaby

Weddings are just raves for adults with less ecstasy and more bad dancing.

heard that only a few hours ago

Shivers26

Currently planning my own wedding, also I'm a bridesmaid in 2 weddings this August. Never been so stressed in my life.
Our wedding is coming in around the €17k mark.... fupping madness! I wanted to go to Spain and do it cheap but himself wanted his day out

Meaning don't post full-arsed posts expressing the opinion that a wedding is some type of business venture.

No offence intended but since you took it that way; I meant it that way.

But that's not what you really meant is it?

Backtrack if you want but try to be believable when you do it. No-one could realistically hope to hope to recoup the cost of a wedding (even partially) by selling thier duplicate gifts.

It's an unrealistic statement considering what you said earlier:

If you're female, wedding rings have a serious negative effect on the libido. I think it's metal poisoning or something, accumulates after the first year or two.

As does the OP.

I don't see the big deal about marriage myself, moving in together or having a kid are much bigger steps to take.

not backtracking at all, as i stated in my first post gift that could be sold not gifts that WERE sold, i shall ask him to list what they received in money shall i??? now i am sorry if you can't tell the difference between the two, i have no reason to lie about it, but in saying that it's the internet, do i care if you believe me? not in the slightest!

Being angry on the internet at this hour of the morning is bad for your health. Its not a good way to start the day. Smile and ignore.

I haven't been to a wedding in years

Wait until the divorce bill arrives!

Why does a bride smile when she's walking down the aisle?

She knows she's given her last blow-job.

A wedding is what you make of it and what you spend on it.
Whether its good or bad for your health depends on how you want to react to it

Weddings are definately bad for my health. For some reason I always come down with a bad flu a few days before one...;)

I hate weddings.
