Who hates weddings??

Cerocco · 10-02-2011 12:32AM #1

Today yet another invite came through the letter box. This one is in Scotland :mad: I hate weddings, boring, cr@p filled, waste of a day. Anyone else feel the same about them. More importantly how do I get out of going without offending the person. They have been banging on about it for months and how great it is that i'm gonna go :mad::mad:

They probably more than likely wont give a toss if you turn up or not tbh
"just say no"

easyeason3 · 10-02-2011 12:35AM

So don't go. I'm sure they will enjoy the day regardless of whether or not you're sitting in the corner stewing.

Nothing worse than being forced to dance with a drunk relative...

landsleaving · 10-02-2011 12:37AM

Oooh Ooh me! I hate them!

Why on Earth does the moment a couple commits to each other for life have anything to do with anyone else? Congratulations and all, but there's no intimacy or romance about a forced kiss and dance in front of an audience.

Develop a pretend lump in need of biopsy.

They'll then pretend they're deeply concerned.

A great place to pull. I have two so far this year.

:pac:

I enjoy them. Big session and meet loads of people. Anybody that sits around fuming instead of having a laugh is either 16 or a moany c+nt.

admiralofthefleet · 10-02-2011 12:49AM

i love the scrap. all good weddings should have a fight

PeterIanStaker · 10-02-2011 12:49AM

They're grand so long as their civil ceremonies and not church ones.

aaronjumper · 10-02-2011 12:52AM

I'm fairly sure the groom at a shotgun wedding hates them

grenache · 10-02-2011 12:54AM

Dont like them at all. You get too many nosy f*ckers enquiring about your life and what you are doing now. And there's always the people you dont want to see that are in attendance. I have my sisters wedding in December, and if i could get out of going to it, i would.

Metallitroll · 10-02-2011 12:58AM

i dunno man i think classic weddings are the only way. demanding of proof of income, some sort of dedication a ceremony with lots of witnesses who condone it. cos a former pal recently had a quick registry type one, a week/baby later his miss unfortunate realizes her kurt cobain-alike was most certainly not willing to work even for the baby n couldn't even afford the bar of a rad. all went on heroin

young hearts are foolish. it's got to be perfect, else its too often just for the sake of saying been there/done that/promptly broke it off.

we'llallhavetea_old · 10-02-2011 01:03AM

fcuk the groom to be. she won't want you there then

pragmatic1 · 10-02-2011 01:29AM

I like the drinking and eating parts. Not to keen on everything else part. Just send them money and make an excuse.

Ruu_Old · 10-02-2011 01:32AM

It's all a money racket these days.

Yes thats always the worst part of these events. Having to be nice to people you dislike.

Can I go instead of you, please!! Normally hate them myself but feeling just a wee bit homesick at the mo

Where is it out of curiosity? (goes online to check out tickets!)...

Poor Craythur · 10-02-2011 02:07AM

I just find them so incredibly cookie-cutter, they're ALL the same.

And if I ever get married, I would hate the thought of it being a financial struggle for any guest.

Metallitroll · 10-02-2011 02:11AM

Craythur and the Cookie-Cutters, bingo. thanks

Agricola · 10-02-2011 02:12AM

Avoid them myself if at all possible. The church part is fine obviously, the dinner and first few drinks are grand too, but after that its just a loooooong chore. I went to a friends wedding a while back, had to be at the church at 2pm. 12 hours later I was looking at my watch through a drunken haze, while some auld fella I barely knew was bending my ear about some rubbish I didnt want to hear about. I just thought, "ffs, this really has been a long day, surely long enough!"

Nope - I believe it was called a night at 7am. Groan.

Dont go to most of them, my work is a great excuse. Have one in Poland in June, definitely going, should be great craic.

bodhrandude · 10-02-2011 02:40AM

I hate most weddings, the two I enjoyed the most was my sisters where she made me the musical director. So I got a bunch of my mates from Galway and we had a mad, mad trad session. The other was my best mates wedding, hes an accordionist, so that was another crazy trad session. If there is one thing I learned about most normal weddings though is that as soon as I hear the Birdie Song its off to the jacks to hide and have a spliff before yer big aunt drags you off to the dance floor for a dance.

Ah, well that one should be cool. Different country, different traditions, will make it more interesting.

Weddings are the cringiest things ever to have to go to when you'd never plan on getting married yourself, thankfully haven't had to go to any in a long time. Most seem so boring, needless expense for not much fun at it.

And then the worry of wondering what's an appropriate amount for a wedding gift. I'd feel embarrassed at the thought that my guests might be stressing about that. I'd just want them to come, eat, drink and have fun.

10-02-2011 09:57AM

I've only been to two, they were ok but the church part was boring.

Actually the church part of one of them was more like :eek: "people believe this?"

Who hates weddings??
