thirsty
When me and Mrs RoF were planning our wedding we spent money on the good things like a great band, good grub and politely turned down the venue’s wedding arranger’s assertions that we must have flowers everywhere and a wedding cake etc.

The thinking was that we’d take these savings and put them towards a free bar for the day.

And that’s what we ,did.

So. How much can nearly 200 Scots and Bajans drink in an evening, have a guess.

The answer was waiting for us in an envelope when we returned from our honeymoon. £8242, that’s how much. The greedy ungrateful freeloading bastards.

Double F considered putting money behind the bar at our wedding later this year.
He was drunk when he said it. Then I reminded him that a) I have an alcoholic brother and b) my family are Irish and do actually love a drink.

We've decided against it now.

I like the idea of having a free bar (if I ever got married that is)
but I have heard horror stories about theiving management telling the staff to ring drinks through the till that never existed.

I don't regret it for a second, and would do the same again if I had to.

My mate's mum is a tiny, mouse-voiced woman
But seeing her at his wedding go up to one of the waiters and say "Now listen here - I'm PAYING for this fucking wedding, so YOU go out and POUR THE GUESTS DRINKS!" filled me with glee.

To be fair that's only about £40 a person. I'm sure we've all spent far more than that on a night on the piss

thirsty scots...
I put £500 behind the bar at my wedding....DJ made the announcement and a tidal wave of tartan went speeding towards the bar!

2 hours later and it was gone!

It was worth every penny :)
