That’s ok! You did a better job of explaining what I meant anyway :smiley:

Me and my friend don’t want to be married but think we’d be an excellent divorced couple, so depending on how our lives go that might be an option.

My friends mostly are as well :frowning: but weddings are fun and you get to customise everything to your own vision and have all the stuff you like - your friends, your music, your preferences on everything, your own vows!!

In a parallel universe I’m probably a wedding planner.

The idea of having to be at my own wedding feels me with dread. Every single aspect of it is something I would not enjoy to do.

oh sorry I didn’t reply! Group B is whatever you think applies, really, which… is not helpful at all is it sorry

basically both your examples is valid group B-ness. Haha.

In theory I am absolutely pro wedding, the idea of getting pissed and eating buffet and dancing to your fave songs with the person you love and all the people you like most, PLUS wearing a nice outfit. But I can totally see the ceremony getting railroaded by my folks wanting to invite all their friends and cousins I don’t like and making me change the music etc so they’re more comfortable.

My wedding plan would be: Meet TV at reg office, go get that signed, then head to pub where I’ve told mates and mums to be after, do lots of pub, fuck off two days later to Barbados for a fortnight.

This is one of the small downers from my wedding. I liked my rented suit, and it coincidentally went well with my wife’s dress, but I’m a fat middle-aged man and my trousers were a bit on the low-slung side for much of the day. With hindsight I’d have got some braces.

Yep, this was my feeling and my late wife’s too, so we eloped. Problem solved :slight_smile:

Yeah tbf my parents would be unbearable about it all. I don’t have many family members to invite but they are so traditional that they got grumpy when my cousin’s wedding service was ‘only’ 20 mins, no hymns. Both in their 50s and had never been to a wedding that wasn’t at a church. They would have an aneurism at every aspect of my superb wedding and be vocal about it and try to control it and make it really boring and traditional. Not a chance. Awful.

  1. Not made of money, so no free bar, but provided ample wine for the tables (around a bottle each in the end). Cheap bar though. 6/10

  2. Had a hard capacity of 55 for the ceremony and had to cull around 10 people from the list and invite them for the evening. But there were compromises made (she invited family I didn’t want there) otherwise it’d have been 1 tier only. 7/10

  3. Food was incredible. My mum and dad did it. Amazing summer buffet. Wouldn’t change anything about that. Loads of it, enough for helpers/bar staff to get involved too and more for the evening. 10/10

  4. Had a Ceilidh and that was it. Luckily the weather was good and guests could mill outside, but we forgot to put profk’s carefully curated playlist on. 7/10

  5. Tough one this. I’d said I didn’t want any speeches, but FiL wanted to do one. Put a limit of 20mins for the FiL, BM and my speeches in total. Came in army around 12 mins. Were good. 8/10

  6. 10/10. Got married at a museum, brilliantly decorated venue with spectacular views of the south downs, borrowed a family friends vintage VW camper for the day. Great food, nobody was a dickhead.

48/60
