I think a lot of it has to do with the attitude you have going. As in if you want to be there you will have fun and if you don't want to be there you will start treads on boards about it.

If you really didn't want to go, then you should have just made an excuse and RSVPed "No".

Wedding invitations are bills you have to pay around 3 months down the line

People that don't want to go to weddings are most likely the ones the couple felt obligated to invite and were secretly hoping they wouldn't be able to come. In my experience couples end up being pressured to invite a whole bunch of people they really couldn't care less about.do everyone a favour and rsvp "no". Everyones happy!

**** yourself. I've heard its a handy way of never being invited to weddings again.

Are you making a request or are you missing a comma?

Would you be less bored if 50 year old black women were grindin their booty in yo face?

Next time . . . be an adult about it, and do the bride and groom, other guests and everyone else a favour, and don't go if you can't handle it.

dimcoin

Go dance with them. You might have more fun than you expected.

You sound bitter, are you getting married or are you just worried that people were bored senseless at your wedding. Either way weddings are boring and most people would rather not have to fork out to attend one. I've noticed a lot of people posting photos during wedding receptions, that's because they are bored rigid. Don't want people whining about weddings? Simples, go off get married quietly and don't have the 3 ring circus that most people don't want to go to.

steddyeddy

The fact is weddings cost people money they might not have, they might interfere with that person's work and they require a lot of planning in some cases.

A room full of drunk 50 year old women and you're complaining.

Man up.

Are you the groom?

I wouldn't say summons OP

I'd say letter from the Revenue

Obilgatory present of cash, annual leave, possible overnight accommodation, spending money

Clock up a few of these a year and even if you have a good job you're talking a mortgage payment

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.

Neither, I'm just man enough not to bother my arse going to weddings I don't want to, and when I do, I make sure I have a good time. Simples.

Good god, stop saying simples newbie

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.

biko

I've had a great time at every single wedding I've been at.
The drink helps.

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

MistyCheese

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.

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.

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

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

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
