That’s thinking outside the box! Potential to amount to something maybe.
I dunno if I told this already. I won a vase at a work do one Christmas. It didn’t suit our house at all so it was shelved. A wedding came up of good friends so we decided to regift the vase, along with the few quid in the envelope.
Anyhow, weeks after the wedding we called and the bride was tripping over us about the vase. It was pride of place in the hallway centred underneath the elaborate landing. She went on about it so much we both thought this wan is taking the piss out of us.
About a year later going thru the shops in Dublin I sees me vase and takes a look at the tag…nine…hundred…and forty yoyos… I can call to borrow a drill anytime

Traditionally that would be the case however 2 of the weddings I’ve been asked to this year were of couples, houses built, cohabiting for over a decade with 2/3 kids the youngest of 1 family with the communion made. I’m like… so what’s new here? The wedding cake?
It’s still the biggest cause of divorce. No question.

In terms of scheduling i would have thought a Thursday or Friday throw in would be optimum as at least theres going to be fuck all else on anyway (except maybe Cheltenham or Galway Races).
It would be terror to have to miss something important at a weekend because of a wedding.
Didn’t a TFK poster even miss an All Ireland Hurling Semi Final involving their own county due to a wedding? That sort of stuff is out of order.

There’s nothing like a thread about weddings and money for lads to expose their true selves. A fascinating insight into what lads are really like over the last 150 posts or so

Come here my annual leave is precious. Id rather take it for a Thursday wedding than use the days in my 2 weeks off during Christmas. At least i know on a Thurs or Friday if something urgent comes up someone else will sort it, less work for me.
A Friday winter wedding is the business. I find the early evenings lend themselves well to sessions.

There’s probably something in that.
A winter wedding means theres a hurry on in terms of getting the church out of the way so photographs can be taken in daylight. Throw in can be as early as 12.30pm.
It lends itself to an hour extra drinking between Church and meal.
The cold air has a great way of eliminating bullshit too.

Serious dilemma for the Bod household, a first cousin of mine getting married next year in Lanzarote the last week of September, I’d be very close to the uncle and my late mother and him got on great, 2 other siblings of him and the mother have distanced themselves and their families from the rest of us going back a while and certainly won’t be invited, inheritance and associated rows etc the usual, anyway I’m the eldest cousin that side of the family and it’s been strongly hinted that myself and Mrs Bod will get the invite but it will clash with our annual golf trip to Spain that we don’t want to forego? Advice needed.
This boils my piss, this does. A complete kick in the balls to all invited, so they can save a few grand in the venue by having it on a weekday. Cunts. They’ll be divorced after a few years of hurling plates at each other anyway.
Are you heading abroad boss?
Could you not play some golf in Lanzarote?
Book the hols., plead ignorance, hole in one
I had one of these myself in the Woodlands.Civil ceremony,just family and close friends.Big roaster feed afterwards and then band/DJ with everyone else that wanted to come invited that evening.Super day out.No “second day” organised.Anyone that wanted to stay around for the Saturday did.
There’s a lot to unravel in that.
Change your golf weekend?
You can golf any time
That doesnt necessarily mean you should.
