went to a wedding on saturday

[rowetta]

and it was fantastic, when was the last one you went to and how did you enjoy it, by the way this is my first post so be gentle please

[mccfluff]

i avoid them if at all possible, i think the last one was a catholic wedding, my partner at the time one of his friends. so the wedding went on forever but the "do" afterwards was fun

[rowetta]

people dont seem to have big weddings anymore, if at all

[redcrx]

weddings are expensive and many people have already got house and other commitments to pay for which take priority i expect.

Last one i went to was in 2006, was lovely, in a hotel in peak district and we made a weekend of it.

[ummmm]

I went to one in Feb. It was great fun...

[ummmm]

I've got one in August as well. Bound to be great. Italian/Irish wedding.

Went to a posh one at Belton Woods near Grantham this February. The bride was my daughter's childhood friend. It was lovely. I got rather addled and ended up bruised on the dance floor, but that usually happens at weddings. I do the 'Uncle dancing badly at a wedding' act extremely convincingly ;-)

The food was excellent.

bet you can't beat my 'baby elephant' routine

The last wedding I went to was my own, the last one before that was my own, and before that it was about 30 years ago. It was my cousins wedding, all I can remember is it peed it down all day and we had to stay in the childrens bit in the pub while everyone else was having fun :-(

[ummmm]

I went to a really strange one in November. Got the invite Friday evening for the wedding on Sunday. Thought they had just forgotten us but turns out that everyone got their invites on Friday evening.

Normal church service....big wedding dress etc...then to the football club. No food...no music...and the football club closed at 7pm.

I think they were a bit skint and needed to make a few quid...lol

[anneasquith]

thats what they did on BFGW, send the invites out at the last minute,

[ummmm]

That's because no one would have them if they found out they were gypsies.

Hope you're not suggesting my friends are gypsies...lol

We went to a workmates reception in October, they had got married on a little island in the Dominican Republic so had a party as well when they got home.

Also going to an old workmates in July which I am really looking forward to.

Went to one on Friday and that was lovely. The sun shone, the bride looked beautiful, the groom devastatingly handsome and as for the bridesmaids they too were lovely. Great, and nice to see someone making a commitment.

welcome Rowetta..... Don't really enjoy weddings...a lot of expense and there always seems to be one lot who are not speaking to the other and later..after a few drinkies...some bitching/arguing etc.... just run away do it and tell me after !!! LOL

Ah but do you prefer a church or non church wedding?

[Connemmara]

Invited to 7 weddings this year - all high falutin weddings - I did not go - although since receiving invitations have to make an effort with a card and some money in them. Last Sat was at a party and could not believe I have been invited to another 2 next year - God I cant stand them - cos I know in a few years time the majority of them break up.

last wedding I went to was a gay wedding [ladies] one which we have known since she was 3 yrs old had a naming ceremony for their twin boys who were then about 18months old.at the same time.
It was in a very posh country house in Suffolk, veggy food out of this world I didnt know that veggy food could be soooo good, there was a piper and we danced Scottish reels in honour of her late grandmother.It must have cost her dad an absolute fortune but it was the best wedding I have ever been to.

[Ric.ror]

Oh I am just dying to go to a gay wedding
BTW - Welcome Rowetta
