A distant relative of my OH but I reluctantly agreed to go along with the thought of copious amounts of bubbly on tap to relieve the tedium.

Anyway, the bride was an hour late, the ceremony went on for 2 hours & when we were finally ushered in to the reception, I was told that the bar wasn't going to open for another hour. So, you can imagine my relief when I finally got to the front of the queue and was in a postion to order a drink.

The relief was very short lived, however, as the barman informed me only non alcoholic drinks were on offer as they were all evangelical types.

Wish I'd been forewarned - I might have prepared a hip flask or 3!

Anyway, the lack of booze didn't stop my OH's uncle's usual party trick of approaching the top table and getting his banjo out.

Excruciating.

Forewarned about what?

I'd always take a hip flask or three.

Last wedding we went to we were staying at the venue, we bought one drink at the bar which was holy **** expensive, but a quick nip in to my room every now and then, and my glass kept magically topping itself up ;)

If you fail to plan prepare to fail.

You've learnt that one now though.

Also lol at getting his banjo out, I'm guessing you meant an actual musical instrument though.

Ah yes, I've just realised how that may have read :cry:
 
Meanwhile just attended prob the 50th indian wedding in my life yesterday, full works inc starters mains, about 10 curries, naan, rice, chicken tikka, paneer, etc all table served, open bar with every drink you can think of inc 4/5 draft beers and most importantly... guinness
 
I remember a friend ordering cocktails at a posh wedding and the round coming to just under a ton. The bar tender took a year to make them and was reading from a book and billing each ingredient at a time.

The best weddings are the ones that are kept simple and ideally don't have speeches. Even the "best" speeches I've seen are still cringe really. Nobody cares. Just a quick 2 minutes thank you for coming is all that's needed. Didn't have any at ours. Who knew the average Joe isn't a good comedian.

Op is a man, but for some reason pretends to be a woman on the internet (not limited to this forum)

Plenty here:

Anyone Been on a Train Recently?

Well, could be worse, at least nobody set you on fire. https://news.sky.com/story/new-york-sebastian-zapeta-charged-with-murder-and-arson-after-woman-set-on-fire-on-subway-13279033

I dunno, without further context it just reads like an ongoing bullying campaign. Maybe just leave people alone, yknow?

So close...

Anyway, I've only ever been to one wedding and it was great, everything was provided including booze. :D

I almost feel like I'm missing out, a bad wedding sounds like a laugh, even if just for the anecdotes...
