Attending a (random) wedding..

[Slab]

I guess this is the rare time when wearing a tie from your golf club would come in handy

To moderise this maybe try finishing off your outfit by wearing a golf glove, allowing other golfers to spot you across a crowded dance floor!

mate... as a married man, I do a lot of things that make me a mug.. paying for a dress is probably fairly low on that list.

Happy wife = a happy life 😉

Out of the blue a few weeks ago Mrs and I were invited to the wedding of one of my cousin's sons end October. Don't really know my cousin's lad - and though I know my cousin well enough and we met up at a family do three weeks ago - that was the first time since my mum's funeral 2 yrs gone - so not a lot of time for chit-chat then. Anyay - it seems that maybe his wife and Mrs Hogan got on well - and me and my cousin are good friends - so what the heck. It's family - and in my wider family you just do.

Biggest problem is my kilt. Mrs H thinks that I'll be expected to wear it. It does not fit - and will require judicious use of giant kilt (actually nappy safety) pins. Ah well. Must get myself measured up for a new kilt and hand my current one over to my son. But won't be able to have that done for the wedding. Meanwhile I shall muse on Ancient (my current); Hunting, or Dress. The choice. Not as if I can get kilts made up in Hunting and Dress and then decide between the three.

Had a few wedding events (both on my side and the wifes) through work. TBH after the first one I met quite a few of her work colleagues and vice versa. We both quite look forward to these now.

Slightly off track, but I've got a stag do at the end of the month to go to for the sister in law's soon to be hubby. Really nice lad, but on the do there's him and one other that I'll know out of about 20. The lot of them are a good 10 years younger than me and are all hitting Liverpool. Due to previous commitments I can only go at night and now it appears that there's industrial action on the trains planned and I'll probably have to drive. So, I'll be "the old man out with the kids". In Liverpool (although I actually enjoy that part). Sober. Ahh the joys.

I've been to a some like this were I don't know anybody so basically you sit on your own or you start talking to people. I go for the latter. It makes the evening go faster. If it's something she wants to go to, I'd feel bad about not going unless she gave me free reign not to attend. (But even then, be careful as the statement "you don't have to go" is a dangerous one if interpreted incorrectly!)

Last wedding I was at was like this. Girl at Mrs Hs work getting married. So Mrs knew all half doz work colleagues and some of their hubbies. I knew (vaguely) Mrs H's boss and one other couple. Still - we had a lovely time - chatting 'stuff' with folks I didn't know and eating 'as many as you like' pop-up pizza-van pizzas.

Since I've moved up to Scotland from England I've noticed a lot of "do's" are like this. You get to the place, the women go off to speak to their mates and the blokes, who don't often know each other, are left to chat. It was a bit odd at first but I guess I'm used to it now.

Golf is booked for tomorrow. That's all I care about. I might even drive to the do at night and swig coke down. That'll be even more brownie points.

Well well. the whole weekend was a blast ! Whodathoughtit? The wedding gave us a great deal to talk about. THE MOST MISERABLE BRIDE EVER !!!!! She never looked at the Groom during the ceremony either. Very odd. Even the vicar said to her during the signing up bit, which we could see, "you can smile you know". The evening do was fun. Once I'd got the DJ to play the songs that people get up to. (Well in his defence he wasn't to know which they'd be) The bride and her familly and friends were outside the main room where the disco was as we had all the tables and chairs in the main room. LOL !!!! She never came in the whole evening, whereas the groom did keep popping in, each time more drunk than the last. No bloomin' wonder the poor thing. What a life he's going to have. Good god! Beer was priced ok, but wine was stupidily expensive so we sent a raiding party to the nearest offy and then drank that instead. Yeah yeah, go on have a pop at that. We (the Northeners) had a great time. The southern softies had all, mostly, gone by the end of the night!!!! 2 hours drive back the next day (10.15 to 12.15) and missed the massive hold up on the M6. wahoooo !!!!!

Are you sure this was not a forced marriage How old was the bride?

I've never seen such a miserable bride in all my life. They've been together for a about 4 years, so he knows what he's getting into. The least said about some of her familly the better as well.
