What made a wedding different for you

Steven81

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!

Last wedding I was at didn't even last until the band started at reception.

Funny kinda night . . . .

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!

Leg waxing causes cancer?

I walked in on the groom going down on the priest in the toilets at the end of the night. Durt.

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....

I was at a wedding where I never heard 'Come on Eileen' once -weirdos!

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.

My brother got a brilliant Irish trad band to play instead of the usual ****e

Really made the night, everybody was up straight away giving it loads on the dancefloor

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.

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. 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.

John Aldridge showing up at my uncles reception. Spawell, 1989. "Of course I'm aldo, kid.. de nose.. look at de nose.." taps nose. it was then he appeared more like Phil Thompson.

was likely taking a break from the golf

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.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

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.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

What breed was the dog? Did he eat with ye?

Dudess

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

Buffet meal too.

Yeah Yeah Yeah

Sounds like a well cool wedding. Good on 'em!

Can't even tell a funeral from a wedding around here cos we always seem to end up back at the same function room

It depends on your point of view. If some bollix telling stories about bulls and heifers at their daughters wedding is hilarious you are probably a bogger and that is coming from the biggest bogger of them all.
Half the audience probably thought it was cringeable and were laughing out of politeness or embarrassment. The coarsest humour is usually received the loudest as course people are the loudest.

Best mate got collared married a while back. The oul lad-in-law is a jazz man, so there happened to be plenty of jazz heads at the wedding which took place in my mate's oul pair's deadly gaff garden in a marquee. So, small bunch of cool people, mellow service, then about five hours of epic food and drink and chat, with stunning jazz music breaking out sporadically every twenty minutes or so.
Not remotely what I'd have ever dreamed of as an ideal wedding, but by god it was one of the best days of my life and I was just a guest!

Last wedding i was a guest at was in Poland, 3 days long, bottles of vodka on the table. It was a memorable wedding, unfortunately i was too pissed to remember it.

Was at a wedding were the bride and groom asked all the guests to email in a few picture from their own weddings (mostly casual, not posed) or just nice couple pictures, they then made a side show to show in the arrival area, was a nice touch.

That was banned from my wedding, I fooking detest that song!!!

I kinda liked my wedding!

We had buffet with chicken curry and chips and lots of other stuff. Some lads on the different tables were competing against each other to see how many plates of food they could go up and get

My brother in law must have wolfed down about 7 desserts :eek:

Had the Paddy Power bet kits on the tables as well they went down a treat

I didn't have a first dance with my Dad either, we went up and did shots at the bar instead

It wasn't really a 'weddingy' type day, more like a giant part with friends and family, nice and relaxed!

Two recent ones....

1. The best men (groom had two of em) wrote a song instead of a speech, both singing with guitars. It was absolutely filthy. Had the rooms in knots.

2. There was a curtin in the corner of the function room and thankfully at about midnight, the hotel staff pulled back the curtin to reveal a burger bar. Quarter pounders and breast in a bun all round.

Balmed Out

Most weddings seem to have something a little different.
Chip van mentioned earlier (give me sandwiches anyday)
ice cream van
pig on a split
interval act like irish dancers, jugglers, breakdancers or something.
comicature artists
fake waiters that break into song

The waiters and ice cream van are great but kind of less so for a repeat performance. Interval act is always good.
