Getting Married

Congratulations! I hope it went well.

I love reading all these stories about weddings.

Do you think It's normal for the man to not really be fussed about a huge wedding but the women to want something a lot more fancier? I don't mean like thousands of pounds.

I'd quite like a small affair with a few friends/family, nothing huge, somewhere small and cosy. We could then go abroad somewhere lovely for our honeymoon. Come back and the money which would have been spent on a huge wedding can go towards a house.

Some people like their wedding to be 'an event', which requires forking out money for people who you don't care about.

Spend the money on yourselves instead.

Sounds like a great plan, I'd like some of the people close to us to enjoy themselves but everyone else can get stuffed as far as I'm concerned.

Now to get the wheels into motion!

I back Oprah Winfrey, as the Divine God of Reason on these matters:

"Some people want a wedding, some people want a marriage".

My lovely, yet princess like cousin is getting married next year. She's only just out of her teens, but has £20k for the wedding. The wedding rings are being flown down the aisle to the best man by an owl. A muther fucking owl!

That is all kinds of awesome.

I rate your post *****

Me and the missus took this approach, neither of us wanted a my big day! scenario and I think we got the whole thing done for about £3k for fifty people - Islington Town Hall and then a cocktail bar - 60% of that cost was the bar bill...

...then again, we're both in our thirties, and have two kids and a mortgage and have been together five years (engaged for four of those...) so maybe we didn't feel like we needed to splash out on a country house and a hundred doves.

Took eight weeks to organise, but we nearly got caught out on giving notice in Hackney... got the paperwork with a day to spare.

That Rowling woman has alot to answer for.

OMG this really exists!

Let's hope it won't throw up the rest of the mouse it caught on the guests, or gasp the wedding dress!

I guess it's better than nailing the owl to the barn door.

off to search videos

That is equally awesome and horrifying.

I wonder what effect the appearance of a live mouse would have on proceedings?

It doesn't look much fun.

Sorry but what the fuck, what relevance does that have to a wedding?

Still sounds like a great day though. This is the kind of thing I want, lovely day and not a huge bill.

The world's gone fucking mad... Again...

BTW I don't care who you are, please don't ask me to your poxy fucking wedding...

me and the missus got married back in September, small event no more than 50 people - Brighton Royal Pavillion then little French Bistro round the corner, all in for about £4k including rings, dress etc...had a great time, close friends only, everyone had a great time and we felt it was exactly what we wanted.

Each to their own, but small and personal was the order of the day and it worked for us :)

I'd probably fall into the same age group as this, I'd be 22 when it happens but to be fair even a quarter of that sized bill sounds about my right amount. I just want people to come and enjoy themselves in a nice atmosphere and not 100's of people I've met once or twice.

It doesn't look much fun.

that video is fucking wierd with the fat dude creeping around in the background, like he's trained an owl to perve of people.

commoners. rich people would have their rings delivered by a swan! which would then be eaten.

The funny thing is that bloke looks so awkward with that bird on his arm. Bonus points if it does a shit on him.

and stuffed in a bird within a bird.

the coolness of having the owl is totally negated by the lameness of having the owl keeper on-site

^ I know! They could have at least made an effort to dress a bit smarter.
