Weddings

[amancalledbuck]

They really are sh*t, aren't they?

 

Waste of time and money.

What's brought this on?

What's brought this on?

 

I'm having an argument about it, elsewhere.

 

I'm just trying to confirm that I'm not the only one that thinks they're a load of sh*te.

Ye'll be hard pressed tae find a woman who agrees, but it'll be equally difficult tae find a man who doesnae agree.

I'm finding the opposite to be true.

 

Wait till tup comes along, he'll have something to say.

[amancalledbuck]

I disagree. I'm getting married a year from next month.

 

I'm looking forward to it.

 

The wife is looking forward to it.

 

Both families are looking forward to it (I hope).

 

Best decision I ever made, was proposing.

 

Missus is absolutely brilliant.

 

I hate hearing 'it's only a bit of paper'.

 

I can't wait. Roll on June next year.

 

 

Are you actually doing anything special or unique?

 

Is it just the same old, boring pish that everybody else is doing?

 

Are you on a waiting list for the venue of your 'dreams'?

[BrianFaePerth]

Aye, probably something like "weddings are for limp-wristed faggots"

[muttondressedaslamb]

I think they are sh*t and I'm female. Marriage fine but weddings no way. I usually always have a good time when I'm there and I've enjoyed being a bridesmaid 5 times, number 6 is coming up in a couple weeks. But the stress and hassle before hand is sh*t and the organising is really time consuming when you've a full time job. IMO it's just not worth the hassle or money. A mate of mine and her husband went abroad only themselves two. Brilliant idea and probably what I'd do.

I assume you mean the whole big wedding, everyone along to see it type thing?

 

If so, I'd agree with you probably. If you think of the ridiculous cost and what much more worthwhile things you could do with that money instead...

You should really be supporting Hearts...

[Donmacca]

I'm getting married July next year and looking forward to it, obviously other than the fact I want to marry the missus but also hired a edwardian house up north for 3 nights and going to have all our family and friends staying there, should be a brilliant weekend

[Stoney]

Aye im with robo.

 

4 months 2 weeks for me.

 

Although now getting a bit worried as i thought i had ages to save for everthing and rapidly running out of time

[BrianFaePerth]

Seems like all the boys in favour of weddings havenae actually gotten married yet

[Coopy100]

Brilliant idea and probably what I'd do.

You would need to find someone mug enough to marry you first.

Ha ha. Good spot. Give them a year.

[Henry]

I give the marriages themselves a year.

[tup]

Pointless exercise, heap of sh*t, waste of time and money, and a head full of regrets immediately, the next day, when all your so called friends make a c**t of themselves on your tab.

 

Who benefits from such a circus of events?

 

Women - superficial sh*te, they want to look like a million bucks, half the time they look worse than they would if they'd just got out of bed, caked in f**king make up, so you canna go near them, precious hoors.

 

So the beneficiaries:

 

The cunting minister, lucrative.

The hotel, charge you through the nose for basic food.

The wedding car hire company, easy cash.

Wedding dress makers, sharks.

Skirt Kilt hire companies, were not born zipped up the back.

sh*t gift suppliers, for useless items which will gather dust until kingdom come, and which will, laughably since they've never been used, form part of the divorce settlement three or four years hence.

And of course, the wife, who gets it all for f**k all, and makes the man jump through every hoop possible, all just to stop her bitching, temporarily, and in a vain effort to get his Nat King Cole on at least a semi-regular basis.

 

Here's fit I'm on aboot

[Foster14]

Did you enjoy your wedding then tup?

[360]

Link doesn't work, tup.

 

Edit: Yeah it does

[amancalledbuck]

I'm going to a big, flashy wedding next week.

 

Tens of thousands of pounds worth of sh*t.

 

Utter f**king joke.

[Stoney]

Not really worried about that............More so the Mortgage which still has 28 years to run :thumbs:

[Henry]

 

But IMO, I'm looking forward to it.

 

In your opinion, you're looking forward to it?

 

Thanks for cleaing that up.

Be fair, he's getting used tae the fact his wife will tell him what he thinks.

[Red Dragon]

I invariably have a cracking time at weddings I attend as a guest and I thoroughly enjoyed my own wedding day.

 

Therefore I cannot agree that weddings are sh*te.

 

You can bitch and whine about the costs involved and the organisation but that's a different argument.

[muttondressedaslamb]

I have three weddings this year so far, hopefully that's it. But they are full day events because I'm very close to all 3. The expense is sh*t. The hen weekends and week (which tbh is the best bit), the outfits, the gifts, the 3 nights in a hotel, the drink on the day (my bottle of gin neatly stashed under my table softens the blow though).

I've been to an amazing wedding on the grounds of my friends home, they had a free bar, turned their lake into a boating pond, fairground attractions, unbelievable food, brass band, ceilidh band, absolutely everything. (Her husband did say it would have cost roughly the same if they had hired out a hotel for the day). And I've been to a wedding where I was bridesmaid in a register office, with 20 guests, bought my own dress and the reception was back at their house. It was an amazing day also.

Weddings don't have to have to be extravagant to be good. I think that idea is lost on 99% of women where I'm from.

thats why youre a divorcee

[Stoney]

Aye f**k off back to donstalk numbskull

[Bluto10]

i have to say i like weddings.

 

when a mate gets married, you have a great night the night before.

 

then day of the wedding get boozy before the ceremony with champagne at breakfast and a few in the pub, then post-ceremony get tanked up during canapes and quaff bucketloads of wine during the meal. after that you can really let your hair down for evening bash.

 

seriously, what's not to like?

[Sonoftherock]

Serious question....

 

Is there anyone here, who's got married, that believes it's changed their life for the better?
