In my defence, I hadn’t spoken to them in the year they received the save the date to the day the invites were sent, nor did they get back to me about my stag. Not even a ‘sorry I can’t come’, just radio silence.

My parent recently attend one for their neighbours daughter a week before her wedding (I think they were invited more out of obligation as the Neighbours are borrowing a load of games we built for my brother’s wedding earlier in the year). They called it a Wedding Shower.

They are friends of my wife.

We had to do a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. It was as big as a lot of people’s weddings. Stupid idea.

Apt title.

Shower of Shit more like.

(My wife had a bridal shower, months before the wedding, where people gave her / us gifts, but I thought that was an American thing).

They have a thing called a “kitchen tea” in South Africa where you go and people give you all the presents for your home
Kind of like a hen do but not a hen do
You also have a hen do
You also have to bring a gift to the wedding

is it not called an engagement party?!

I had one of these, warning though, does not mean you’ll definitely get married.

#21

ooo :hushed:

#22

I’d understand if it was but they got engaged over a year ago and their pre-wedding celebration is a week before their actual wedding…

#23

pffft fuck off.

#24

a rehearsal is one thing, but sorry, these just sound like dickhead mates. AS if you can be arsed when there is a wedding to be organised! No one likes weddings enough to attend a pre-wedding celebration.

I’ve thought about this a bit more, and your only real choice is to sack off your mates and get new ones. If your wife doesn’t like it, then this is grounds for divorace.
