My dad refused to wear a ring
but managed to persuade my mum that an earring would do the job instead.

I got married back in March and, while not exactly enammoured with wearing a ring, put more effort in to looking for one I actually liked and could bear wearing than anything else I was responsable for except for our first dance song. I've got a plain titanium one and, to be fair, quite like it now.

I'm not on the verge of going out and getting a load of sovs to go with it though!

What was your song?

Again I hate the idea of a first dance...

Maybe I'm just a miserable git!

I hate the idea of that
I don't dance unless hammered, and the thought of dancing to something in front of a load of people is shit

don't get me started on speeches...

Just put your arms round her shoulders and shuffle awkwardly
That's the norm

I don't mind giving the speech
it's the writing of one that concerns me. there is too much pressure to try and be funny. I'm not intending to try.

I wish ladies made speeches at weddings
I'd love to go round making speeches at weddings.
I would make them laugh and cry, and then they'd drag me off just as I started singing.

At my friends wedding
one of her bridesmaids gave a speech and it was bloody hilarious, she told a story about walking in on the bride and groom having sex at Uni… everyone laughed! :D

oh my goodness
what did Grandma say???
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Thu 26 Nov 2009, 16:20, Reply)

She was still confused
over the bestmans speech that DiT gave. He made a rather rude joke about 'the red ring of doom' on an Xbox comparing it to marriage... I think she spent most of the night asking people to explain, everyone just kept changing the subject and gave her more wine.

Dancing
is not my thing. However, this being Scotland, I'd be doing a jolly ceilidh dance (bugger this first waltz pish) and not just shuffling aimlessly around the floor.

Speeches, on the other hand, I have no problem with. I could just go into lecturing mode, but make it slightly less dull.

ceilidh is easy
checklist: can you:
1. keep time
2. follow instructions

if so, you can ceilidh. I can do these things, so I can ceilidh like a man possessed (after a couple of loosening ales naturally)

the amount of people who can't amuses the hell out of me.

if you ever get a chance to watch a drunk ceilidh from above, seize it. it's great to watch
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 26 Nov 2009, 16:14, Reply)

I do, frequently.
I play at such things all the time. It's great!

Ceilidh's
turn my blood cold. The 'traditional' musak and out of breath jollity does my fucking tits in.

"Hey, come on join in, it's great fun"

"No thanks, but you go on ahead, I'll just sit here thanks"

"Aw come on, it's great fun"

"So you said"

"Don't be a party pooper"

"What, how the fuck am I 'pooping' anybody's party, just leave me be you hatchet faced harpy"

"Now that's just rude"

"Correct, now jig the fuck out of my sight"
