Catholic Liverpool Wedding
Oh man, I hate religion, the only thing that winds me up more is the bloody x-factor. Anyway I digress.
Earlier this year, one of the misses friends got married up near Liverpool. The misses, myself and our 6 month old daughter made the 250 mile drive from London and pitched up at the pub near the church. Nothing beats a swift pint or two before a wedding.

Realising that we were in danger of missing the chruchy bit we necked the beers and wandered down to the god house. We go in and I suggested we sit near the back, if daughter cries we can make a quick exit.

Then it started, a full on rant about God and Jesus. It was around this point (5mins in I think) I started willing my daughter to cry.

Then the priest started shouting that "If you think you know better than Jesus you are wrong" and "damned to hell". Sorry heard enough, picked up daughter and left the misses there. We went outside sat on a blanket in the sun and waited. And waited, and waited. Gradually more parents with babies emerged. Followed by people coming for a smoke, and then a couple more people, one of which said to us "Well I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell now, anyone fancy a pint".

Turns out the brides family were all full on Catholics. Did I mention I hate religion. Bastards.

I don't really understand what happened here,
but my family are mainly Liverpool Catholics, and I find going to their weddings a bit of a chore. It's usually a two-hour church service and the couple themselves are barely mentioned. The receptions afterwards are usually brilliant though.

Yeah sorry it was a bit of a rant. I was just reminded how I didn't like being preached to..
You're right though the reception was pretty bloody good.
