Not unless you're both into the idea. No point unless it's something you both want to do. If you do, pay for it yourselves, for God's sake. Parents can get very strange when it comes to weddings they're stumping up for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'm getting married too. Just started doing the invite list. She wants every fucking cousin and aunty on her ridiculous Catholic side invited. Folk she hasn't seen in over 10 years. About 60. Being good Presbyterians from Dundee's leafy west end/Perthshire we mate for procreation. My entire family including cousins, nephews nieces comes to 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her gran already dissaproves of me to an extent because i was never christened as a child and has told her i must be christened before we marry...... Tell her gran, and anyone else for that matter who tries to tell you what to do to f**k right off . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anyone who invites you to their wedding, you're supposed to invite them to yours. I think. And that counts even if you don't go. I've lost track of whose weddings I've been invited to, so I'm seriously considering either just not ever getting married, or going the whole hog - turning gay and claiming that those rules don't apply to man-on-man weddings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry too much about all that shit. It's blown way out of proportion (actually just like weddings are).People who take offence at such things are invariably c***s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittsburgh phil Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 So what you're saying is, I should murder everyone who has ever invited me to their wedding? It's the only way to be sure. I spilled a pint once at an evening reception and had to erase the entire paper trail to ensure that it wasn't jovially cast up in years to come. Took some doing so be prepared to be inventive and make sure you can invest the time to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The more I think about it, doing what we did and disappearing abroad to get married with just immediate family in attendance was the best thing we ever did - no obsessing for a year about what table to sit Auntie Jean at because she had that fight with Uncle Alec in 1973 and so on. I've done best man for a few mates over the years, and I remember one in particular who was at his wits' end a couple of weeks before the wedding - place held 200-odd, and his old dear wasn't budging on her guest list which stood at over 100, most of whom were randoms neither of the punters getting married had ever met. I volunteered to get her telt - never liked the old witch anyway... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do it. You are too young. I didn't even propose with a ring. We have enough shite in the house. Probably the reason I'm marrying her is like me she has no tolerance of nonsense like diamond rings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Last week the daycare (kindy, nursery whatever you foreigners call it) that my kids go to was locked down for a few hours due to an incident at a local school.
