Ah I got my own back on her this morning. I gave her a years subscription to tinder and plenty of fish. Iā€™ll be too busy when the hurling gets back up and running

Just remember itā€™s knockout this year.

All the better. I wont be in the mood to face her after weā€™re bate out the gate first round

I remember being seething that the bro dragged me out of the bar halfway down my third, and then she turned up fifty (50) minutes late.

Ah thatā€™s shocking carry on.

My missus was early for our wedding. Just to be different. Of course the guests were expecting her to be late. As a result there was carnage at around 12:55.

I didnā€™t go for any pints beforehand. I find that pints donā€™t really help nerves, they make them a lot worse.

I had no idea that pints before the wedding mass were a thing. Iā€™ve been a best man before but Iā€™ve never seen this. I assume you boys were all floppy for the big night?

Mrs was early too but had arrived before her brother who was bringing the flower girls so had to circle around the car park a bit. Ours was in a country house type job, so there were lads ushered in quickly with pints in their hands

Iā€™d one bottle of Heineken that afternoon before kick off and didnā€™t touch a drop again until about 10pm.

The photographer at her location took ages and arrived late also which meant that everyone bombed in around the same time. The time between 12:50 and 12:56 on the wedding day was amongst the most stressful Iā€™ve experienced.

21 years this year got plastered with the lads the night before but was up early the following morning didnā€™t touch a drop until around 9 that night stayed going till 6 in the morning and weighed anchor before sleeping for a few hours. A great oul day to be fair.

Frightening admission here. Were you ever waiting on a mid-priced nag to round off a trixie for a tidy wedge? More stressful to my mind.

A good pal of mine got so wankered the night before (and the entire week before) he was leaning on the altar for support during the mass and when they got to the hotel he had to go for a lie down and then a cold shower before he was able to go down for the grub :joy:

Theyā€™re not now. They were then šŸ¤·
I had them two and a bit, champagne, wine and then nine pints of porter at ours. Mental drinking when I think if it. I wish Iā€™d not grown up in a drinking culture.
My younger brother and one of my groomsmen got so drunk the night before they missed the church.

I fell at 6 in the morning at my own wedding. The floor in the residentā€™s bar was slippy
