    I am at the age that I get invited to the silver wedding celebrations of my friends and family.

    Think of all the 18 birthdays/debs you go to when you are 18/19 as you get older its followed by

    21 birthdays

    Weddings

    Christenings

    40th Birthdays

    silver weddings/seconds marriages

    Your children's marriages.

    Be nice to think I will be around to be invited to my siblings and friends Golden wedding party.

    Then it will be the funerals :eek: of my family and friends or they will be coming to mine.

    So what occasion/stage are you at.

    When does the wedding stage start, I'm 25 and have only been to 2 weddings, Where I still get asked to every 21st


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭jaffacakesyum


    I'm at no stage really....I'm 19 years old but have friends of all ages so I've been to 18ths, 21sts and 30ths this year and have 2 weddings coming up too.

    In between 21st's and weddings but more so on the 21st side of things as none of my friends are in long term relationships... Then again, none of my friends are 21 or under.

    I'm lost

    I'm at the funeral/50th birthday parties stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I never went to a Debs, maybe like 3 18ths, 10 21sts or so, 3 weddings, one 30th, parent's pearl anniversary, few funerals.

    Doesn't seem like that much really :(

    Am currently at the stage of no occasions!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 758 ✭✭✭whydoibother?


    Nothing major going on.

    Finished 21sts. Not really into weddings yet, just one or two. Can't see too many more on the cards.

    Can you go to a few 21sts for me and pose as me? :p

    Honestly, you're not missing much. 21sts are great craic as you know, but you wouldn't want to be invited to too many of them. It's getting to the stage where I can't afford to go to all of them now

    A lot of my cousins are under 15, so it's just the ole folks getting older for the time being.

    I used to give Maths grinds, so although I'm a relatively old 24, I'm still grinding away the the 21sts.
