Alright.
How's you? Up to your neck in wedding magazines yet?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:26, Reply)

nah, he's got dozer as a wedding planner

( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:26, Reply)

Well, if Dozer were up to his neck in wedding magazines, that would be at least FOUR magazines.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:27, Reply)

yeah, "pets weekly", "my first hamster", "pets at home" catalogue and a flyer from the STD clinic about inserting things safely

no,
she seems to have decided that we can't afford a huge extravagant bonanza, but she wants a super dress, so we've come to the decision that a really small ceremony, just a few family somewhere pretty, followed by hiring a pub room somewhere and letting all the extra friends and guests sort themselves out.

We did our wedding on the (relatively) cheap.
I got my dress from an auction - £30 for a £900 dress that had been a shop display one. Married on a Wednesday, so we got a beautiful venue for a couple of grand all in. Planned the whole thing in six months.
I never understood these people who plan a £20k wedding and take two years to get there.

no, i don't get it either,
i'd have like to just dissapeared, just the 2 of us, but i think lady pig wants a bit more spectacle

Hugely expensive weddings are a bit gauche, to my mind.
Hiring castles and all that. Displays of wealth, or the willingness to spend all your savings and take out loans to to create an approximation of wealth, are pretty vulgar.

Better to be modest and honest, I think

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:44, Reply)

Well, yeah.
But then it wasn't his money. I'd probably not complain too loudly in that scenario, either. Mustn't seem an ingrate. I'd be cringing inwardly, however.
( Kroney, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:45, Reply)

He fucking loved it and you know he did.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:46, Reply)

Yeah. Inwardly.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:46, Reply)

There might be some visible outward cringing
but I'd pass it off as the shits or something. Wouldn't want to seem vulgar.
( Kroney, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:49, Reply)

Why does the groom never get any say?
For most of the weddings I hear about, the bloke acts like all he gets to do is turn up and shut up.
Surely it shouldn't be the sort of day where he suffers to make the bride happy?
Meh, what do I know?
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:49, Reply)

Because if the men got their way
people'd get married online and then she'd shut up and make him a sandwich.
( Kroney, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:50, Reply)

From what I can tell
the men want to get married, the women want a wedding.

I didn't make the old fella wear a suit and tie and all that, and he chose most of the music for the day, and we had a pretty good time.

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:53, Reply)

Because for most of their lives women are told it will be the best day of their lives
This creates an unrealistic expectation level and the man as someone who only wants his beloved to be happy will take the knocks in order to maintain peace.

I got involved with selecting the food & drink. That was all, apart from turning up.

I get the impression it was her father's wedding rather than yours.

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:56, Reply)

Quite. Given the length of the marriage it was the biggest waste of cash I've witnessed.

Haven't you seen how much the Royal family costs
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 12:11, Reply)

lots of my friends have found the opposite
it's groomzilla all the way. my friend recently got into the most ridiculous row because she wants 40 people for lunch at petrus and he wants 400 people at the hurlingham club. it ended with him screaming, "and there'll be a DISCO and i'm going to DANCE with my FRIENDS", to which she said, "you're fucking gay" and hung up on him.

lol.

From what you described above
It seems more likely that he will be getting it in the end
(Bonzodog29 is an unemployed sponge of the worst kind, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 12:20, Reply)

if i ever got married, i'd take what it would cost
and spend the lot on taking favourite friends and family to the caribbean for a week.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 22 Jul 2014, 11:44, Reply)

I wouldn't go.
