    I think he's just in an evil mood lately. My last few have been horribly painful.

    This one definitely was... I'd actually meant to get one in early January, but had been putting it off (for nearly 2 months...). Realised at the weekend that my right hip was getting way too tight to leave it any longer, and the Rammstein gig didn't help matters at all.

    Was getting my porridge in the canteen this morning and when I left one of the lads overheard the staff talking about me.

    Lady 1: That girl needs a bigger bowl
    Lady 2: She needs a bucket.

    Just read on a wedding forum about a bride who has bought earrings for her bridesmaids...and one of her bridesmaids doesn't have pierced ears so can she ask her to pierce them for the wedding? Mother of God.

    Oh god, I knew a bride like this. The attitude of it's my day and everyone must do exactly as I say annoys the crap out of me.


    I'm FINALLY seeing the muppets today after having plans to see it cancelled 3 times! :D

    But they MATCHED the bride's earrings, and it's HER day! :p

    I was talking to a girl recently who told me that when she was her sister's bridesmaid her sis said "This is my year"...eh love you get one day, not the whole year!

    Nothing makes you feel saner than a quick look at a wedding forum. During my time planning my wedding I witnessed:

    • a bride panicking that the colour of the car bringing her bridesmaids to the church didn't match their dresses
    • a bride sacking one of her bridesmaids who had the cheek to get pregnant and was going to be 7 months gone by the time of the wedding and would "ruin" the photos
    • Brides doing their entire seating plan more than two years before the wedding
    • A bride who was planning to have cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, but was planning to only give each guest a half a cupcake
    • Several brides who were planning to serve the top table an entirely different meal to the rest of the guests
    • Brides deliberately padding out their guestlists with people they knew wouldn't attend, in order to get the gifts that most people feel obliged to give just for receiving an invite
    • A bride who chose her ugly cousins to be her bridesmaids instead of her two sisters because they were better-looking than her and she didn't want to be "outshone" on the day

    I dont get why weddings turn some normally sane women into self entitled princesses who go loco over insignifigant things. nowt wrong with wanting your wedding to be nice and fun, doesnt everyone, but thats some batsh1t crazy stuff right there.

    People can be so nasty sometimes. :(
    Hope you won't let it get to you.


    Exam yesterday went ok. Apart from the fact that I could NOT speak. Pretty much every sentence and I'd be stammering and having to pause before talking etc.

    The latest fashion for high-octane marriage proposals is the flash mob: assembling a group of people to burst, seemingly spontaneously, into large-scale song-and-dance routines as a romantic precursor to the main event of the proposal itself. Last month, a British couple – Peter O’Donnell and Siobhan Byrne – became an internet sensation when O’Donnell arranged for a flash mob to serenade Siobhan on a night-time visit to Central Park in New York. As Byrne stood there looking bemused in her woolly hat and duffle coat, O’Donnell launched into a version of Bruno Mars’s hit Marry You with a large bunch of apparently random strangers.

    first of all, what the fcuk

    secondly, a song that goes:
    We're looking for something dumb to do/
    I think I wanna marry you
    On the boulevard we can go/
    No one will know

    you think that's romantic to propose with?!!!
    it's about as stupid as singing r.e.m.'s "the one i love" in a romantic way

    A lot of brides also get mistaken that everyone else gives a crap about every tiny detail of their weddings. Favours of candles with the bride and grooms names and wedding date on them? Sure everybody will love them!! I heard of the most amazingly stupid wedding favour a few days ago, someone I know was at a wedding where the favours were anniversary cards that you were to send to the couple on their 25th wedding anniversary, I'd send it bout 2 weeks after the wedding and say "If I didn't send it now it was going in the bin".

    Vomit.

    Also, tempting fate or what?

    That stuff is craaazy, it'd put anyone off getting married!

    If I was getting hitched, all I'd want would be a small ceremony with close friends and family (as in 80 people max), then a nice meal and a brilliant party. I would not be ar$ed with favours, professional photographers, seat covers and all that jazz. Nobody's going to look back on your wedding and think "Weren't they lovely centrepieces?" :rolleyes:
    Getting married abroad would be amazeballs, but my Dad manages a hotel that does lots of wedding business, I'd feel terribly guilty not having it there.

    Three things stand out at weddings:
    1. The bride's dress
    2. The meal
    3. The craic afterwards

    The rest is forgotten by breakfast the next day.
