You're a man:eek: Your over use of the word 'simples' made me think you were a teenage girl:D

Just once I'd like to see something different at a wedding, like, a three-legged race or a (staged) swordfight or maybe a swimming pool full of jelly.

I hate seeing some miserable bastard at a wedding sitting on his own looking out at the dance floor or staring at an empty glass.
I always feel the need to chat to them to try to cheer them up...no doubt it has the opposite effect.

There is a special place in hell for people like you. :mad:

Learn a lesson, and don't go to weddings if you're not going to enjoy yourself. Waste of your time and money, and a waste of theirs. No one can actually force you to go to a wedding.

That's not true. You can have all sorts of familial pressure to go to ones of relatives. Which I do shortly

Well when you're whining like one, and untill you man up, that's how I'll talk to you. Simples girl.

Good Christ I hate weddings. Actually, I hate family weddings, everyone puts on airs and graces and it just makes for a ****ty evening. Weddings where you aren't directly related to people are the best because you can just sit back and watch the train wreck ensue.

At the last wedding I attended, that of my girlfriend's brother, I had to physically stop a friend of the bride from giving her child alcohol. Turned out they had been doing it all evening and they found it hilarious.
Then the bride came storming into the men's room later in the evening, screaming that it was the last dance, and everyone needed to be on the dance floor, or her night would be ruined. She was just a ****ing bitch.
I left shortly after.

I don't go to functions I don't want to, and if I'm socially obligated to go somewhere for the sake of family harmony or whatever, I try make the best of it. Going somewhere and sulking all day because you did, isn't going to improve the experience.

Easy to tell the women from the men in this thread

Man, I love weddings. Just make sure ye drink enough and then people will end up starting boards about you!!

Yep. I'd rather suck on a lemon than endure all the pomp that entails a wedding of some distant relative or friend, can't stand the occasions. However, if you are obliged to attend best to make the most of it - gorge on as much free food and booze and possible - and slap on the happy face for a few hours.

Weddings are brilliant craic really enjoyed everyone I've been to, you must be a right auld bore op. A days drinking, big feed, more drinking out on the dance floor having the craic and then the residents bar till you drop. My idea of a great day. Had a wedding two weeks ago and another in 3 weeks and I'm already looking forward to it!!

Reiketsu · 28-09-2014 05:06PM

I love weddings

. My cousin got married on Friday and it was a brilliant day. All the family gets together and you get the chance to catch up with people you haven't saw in a while, having the craic, a nice feed, drinks and a wee dance if you fancy it. Nothing to dislike there imo!

Any summons I've ever got only cost me about 250 euro. Last wedding cost me 800 plus.

Breakdown: Card money - 200, diesel - 100, Accom x 2 pax - 100, Two days work lost - 300, Food on journey plus drinks etc x 2 pax - 100

The bride is a longterm friend of mine from tye past, but with 400 at the wedding my other half never even got to meet her (they've never met) I didn't meet the groom. I don't drink, other half is 8 months pregnant so no dancing, We left "early" ie 1am.

Fcuking next invitation is going in the bin. Fcuk that for a game of soldiers.

JuliusCaesar · 28-09-2014 09:29PM

Funerals come cheaper, and are much the same: family & friends get together, meal, drinks flowing, no dancing though generally.

It seems lots of you would prefer to go to a funeral

And the same old whiny crying and moaning as well. Don't go or man up. Simples.

So if the father of the bride doesn't like weddings and therefore doesn't bother going to his daughters wedding you think he's "Maning Up"

Read it again. If you don't like weddings, don't go to them or man up if you do go to them, and don't sit at the wedding like a spoiled whining little girl. Simples.

And if you're someone who hates going to weddings no matter what, and your daughter decides to have a big run of the mill Irish wedding.

Take it that you love your daughter and would hate to hurt her and by you not going to the wedding she would be deeply hurt
You're saying it's a simple problem, what would you do?

It's a bit strange when you think about it, isn't it? Similarly for the wedding I'm going to soon I've never met the bride.

So, get up and dance to Abba like real men do?

Irish weddings are usually bollox, because the bride (or the brides mammy) want the big disney princess malarkey. I've been to some cracking weddings out foreign though. Last one we wound up outside playing football and climing stuff in our tins of fruit

Basically if it's in Ireland I'd sooner go to a funeral

I'm going to ignore you from this point on, given that you are clearly here only to repeatedly use the word 'simples'. Incidentally 'real men', as you put it, don't say 'simples', it just makes the person sound like a pretentious ass.

GUYS PLEASE YOU ARE MAKING THE KIDS CRY
