My mother has started slapping people
metaphorically. Last time she was asked, again, "Why in Tenerife, and why in January? It's so far..." Instead of replying with the polite "Well, it was the date that best suited them, and we all live here..." and all that stuff, she came back with a "Well, it's her wedding, she does it as she wants. When you get married, you do it as you want". Well said there.

I was very proud of my mother there
and that doesn't happen very often.

I'd rather go to Tenerife for a wedding
than my mrs' sister's wedding which is at 11am on a fucking Thursday.

That's awful
the fact that she's asking everyone to take the day off so she can save a few pounds.

yeah
the way they are organising their wedding couldn't be more different to the way we are.

she's completely daft.

And I'm sure you're still going
without complaining every single day about how much it's going to cost you.

I am
but I'm not happy about it.

It's going to be tasteless though, so will only make my wedding look better by comparison.

That's a good way of looking at it
So, I imagine she's inviting for lunch, and then go home early, as you all have to work on Friday?

I think it's the Thursday before Easter
so at least we don't have to take the Friday off.

She's well considerate, then
I don't know why you're complaining.

I still have to take the Thursday off
and starting it at 11am will make for a very long day

we are having our ceremony at 3pm.

I know
It was sarcasm. Of course it's crap to ask everybody to take a day off.

We are starting ours between 5pm and 7pm, I'm not sure yet.
