Bad Weddings

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

You don't find the thought of a creepy 70-odd year old bloke pretending to be a woman a bit odd? Wait until it's your daughter he's playing with online, you'll soon be singing a different tune, make no mistake.

If that were what's happening, sure, maybe!

But I haven't seen anything suggesting it's a 70 year old bloke at all, I just see people poking fun at how someone identifies themselves online.

So unless there is further context I maintain you should leave people alone. :)

Also inventing a scenario to make them seem scary is a bit weird. Are you implying they are a predator now too?

Well, given that you didn't even know he's a bloke, it's understandable that you've also not seen the rest of his posts. Dude's not your average person, trust me.

I initially thought the same when I first saw it ages ago, but their previous account was banned here and looks like it was happening on other forums in the past too, so this behaviour is ought to be called out, not ignored.

Doesn't sound terrible, I hope there was at least a buffet?

Yes, I made up for the lack of bubbly by gorging myself on 5 bowls of gnocchi. Turned out the groom sings in his church band so they did set for an hour or so. They were actually rather good - proper deep south vibes.

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.

Indian Weddings are amazing

No offence, but I hate asian weddings. One because there's too many people and it just seems like nobody wants to usually mingle/socialise and second, it often just feels like a w***y waving contest (Idk if I'm allow to say that word lol) with how much money people are able to spend and to just show off. I once went to an engagement party that, I kid you not, had more money spent on it than an actual wedding (the wedding I didn't go to but I'm sure the budget must have approached 6 figures).

Heck, I just hate weddings in general, I try my best to avoid them. The last one I went to, I was absolutely miserable, I knew nobody and barely spoke to anyone (and nobody made the effort to try and speak to me either). I'm also the cynical sod who sits there wondering how long the marriage will last, since we all know how fragile relationships are these days.

Surprisingly the best wedding I went to was a post-Covid wedding (still with the Covid restrictions on number of people) and it was amazing, the two families actually mingled. Me and some folks from our side of the family were sharing a table with folks from the other side and we got to all know each other and become buddies for the day. Admittedly the restrictions simultaneously meant that they could go all out on venue, food, etc without breaking the bank and it was all fancy and high quality, but not in an obnoxious or pretentious way.

Overall I've heard all sorts, weddings can be good or bad. Depends on how well we know the couple and how they organise it.
 
A couple of years ago I went to a niece's wedding and when we got there they handed out what looked like sausage rolls, put one in my gob and immediately spat it out, it was a mushroom.
We are then informed that all the food will be vegan but unknown to me my wife and sisters had been told this but hadn't told us blokes :)
The wedding meal came out and it was proper ****, I can't tell you how bad it was and me and the wife sat at a table with 8 vegans.
Even the potatoes and peas were done differently and the pudding was awful so I sat their starving along with my brother-in-law, son-in-law and a couple of other family members.
When it was time to partaaaaay we were informed that one of my sister in laws had hired a cottage on site and the fridge was full of ham, cheese, meats and plenty of bread and butter so we all went over to the cottage.
Since it was a Scottish wedding they had a ceilidh band which consisted of teaching a dance for 30 minutes and then performing the dance.
The band played 3 songs total :)
11pm and the Disco came on but the volume was like a radio in the corner, everybody complained but Management said they had to keep it low because of noise complaints - we were in the middle of nowhere on a farm :)
We had hired all the holiday cottages so none of us would complain except the goats and llamas who were part of the wedding

Second worst wedding was my mate Andy.
He booked my band for entertainment but we never got to play.
We were setup and everybody started to come in the hall and my mates sister decided to have a go at the Brides family saying she was a gold digger, my mate was a line worker on Creda/Hotpoint :)
Anyway it turned into a full cowboy scene with one family against the other and my band and around 5 fellow workmates guarding our band equipment.
The wedding was over 10 minutes after people walked in :(
Both of them are still together about 15 years on, moved out of the area and never spoken to their families since then.

Had a similar experience, it was more of a dinner party affair but unbeknownst to my OH and I it was vegan.

I just have memories of really insipid blinis with badly made pesto.

Anyway, we decided to pop into the Chinese takeaway on leaving their house & subsequently found all the other guests from the party were in there too awaiting their orders :cry:

Anyway, despite my dry wedding being somewhat painful, I have to say, hand on heart that this was my worst wedding experience of all time.

Speaking of banjos. I once went to a wedding and the father of the bride got hammered and came out the bathroom, which was off the dancefloor, with either end of his kilt in either hand just exposing himself to everyone. I was sober as I was driving so took charge and promptly grab the groom and let him fix it. Perhaps not the cocktail sausage buffet we were expecting!
