I couldn’t say
Was that not the entire crux of the best mans joke?
We didn’t even get near it but we knew that before we started.

If you see the word “Hilarious” in a headline you should know better than to click into it at this stage.
I got married in the teeth of a vicious recession so got a good deal at the time
Especially if its in inverted commas like that. Thats a real giveaway.
It’s the hidden costs that are a cunt.
Flowers and the likes.
Price deliberately upped because it is a wedding.
You would learn from going through it once but the thing is you probably won’t go through it again!
And the horse has bolted of course.

Someone probably gave him a house as a wedding present
One of the best moments in life in terms of a wedding is the realisation that someone cannot attend but have put €50 in an envelope for you.

You should get something for that constipation mate.
I’m grand pal. I’ve just had a very successful evacuation
Free money
He got the meal at €50 a head and I’ve had worse wedding meals let me tell you.
260 × €50 = €13k
If we assume average gift was €100 that’s €26k.
I know they got very generous gifts from both sets of parents amounting to well over €10k. Then wealthy guests or uncle’s/aunt’s might give a few hundred. They raked in over €45k it’s fair to say.
That leaves €32k to cover band, flowrers, photos etc and you can see how he easily got €20k profit out of it.
At a time when you are handing over cash for stuff you’ve lost track of completely.
It’s like water in a desert.
Easy get 20K profit when you count 10K given by each set of parents. Or was it 10K total?
€50 a head for the meal only, or pre-reception food/drink and evening finger food included?
It couldn’t have been great.
You said he made enough out of it for a new car and deposit on a house. €20k?!!
If you have an average gift of €100, surely then this is factored in and no need to take account of a few people giving a few hundred.
The lowest would be €100 each.
The real money is in inviting people who are already married. Otherwise it’s just resting in your account until you’ve to give it back
