Yeah that seems the general rule. Although there is one or two exceptions. The wife is off to one next week. Her friend was was married to an absolute cunt and they are now separated. It’s a relation of hers so she’ll know a good few at the wedding. She got a +1 invite and asked the wife

15% had to move out of the property they rented because of the cost incurred (of attending weddings).
That’s insane if anyway accurate.
Has to be bullshit.
Ermahgerd, I got invited to a wedding. Better move out of my house.

I get that. What is a long time?
Mate, can I ask you I reduce your meat consumption
You can, but you know the answer
A good few years I’d say, depends on age too. But they could just be stuck for numbers, might not have the scope to offer +1.
I can honestly say I hate weddings. I hate wearing a suit. I hate sitting at a table making chat with fuckers I dont know. I hate the cost of it. I hate how it always manages to clash with a big match. I hate of everyone takes photos of absolutely everything. I hate those BANTER photos people take in them booths at the end. I hate how everyone pretends to love them. I hate who everyone pretends to be happy for the couple when in reality they’re either A) bitter because they have no one themselves or B) because they have found someone and are now miserable.

Unless it’s a family wedding… Then I agree with all of the above. Fuck other people.
Agree. I used to work hard at being an extrovert but I’m happily reverting to my default recently except when I need something. It’s a great way to be.

Could you curmudgeons not cast aside your default resentment and cynicism for a mere day to celebrate a milestone for people who hold you in high enough regard to invite you to the celebration of their nuptials?
Join in with the hymns, chit chat with the people you don’t know all that well, drink the prosecco, smile for the photographs, enjoy the meal. It’s not that big a fucking chore surely.
You bastards make me sick with your inherent negativity.
I don’t think I’ll ever get married if that’s the way people feel about being invited to weddings.

Irish people are very negative, always talking everything down
There’s nothing better than when the dj sticks on acdc thunder struck and a clatter of grown men put their ties around their head and have a shouldering contest, while playing air guitar with their pants rolled to their knees

I dont get the negativity towards weddings, outside of the cost they are a great day out. Maybe a pain if you have 4 or 5 of them in the year, but nothing wrong with one in the winter and one in the summer. A full day of eating and drinking your fill in a nice venue surrounded by friends. What more could you want.

Heaven forbid you’d have to talk to someone instead of staring at a phone for 16 hours

Agreed. I’m at the stage in life now where funerals are more common then weddings. The next spate of weddings won’t come for another 10 years when the kids come of age
