Is it in poor taste at a wedding to…

[MC Moot]

I went to a wedding this weekend and it happened again…another couple took the chance at the reception to announce that they’re engaged,blah,blah,blah…I’ve always’s kinda found this to be a bit of scene stealing…grandiose theft…if not to be in downright poor taste…once there was even a proposal…but at least that was the grooms brother…whatta ya think?

[NicRN77]

Yes, I think it is very poor taste! The day is for the newlyweds!

[MC Moot]

I'll tell ya what I did find to be in good taste at the reception though...instead of the stupid incessant tapping of glasses to get the happy couple to kiss,one had to get up on stage and hula hoop to get'em to lock lip...that one was new to me...(y)

[b i o n i c]

this is why 90% of wedding are retarded.

they're all about "ooooh look at me! IIII'm getting MARRIED im a princess, look at me! oooh look at me, I married dis chick! all the bridesmaids MUST look less attractive! blah blah blah" i dont get it.

to answer your question, if someone announced that they were getting married at my wedding, i wouldnt give a shit(y)

[MC Moot]

they're all about "ooooh look at me! IIII'm getting MARRIED im a princess, look at me! oooh look at me, I married dis chick! all the bridesmaids MUST look less attractive! blah blah blah" i dont get it.

I actually find that sentiment to be pretty inaccurate,in my experience anyway's...I've only been to a couple of ceremony's that I found to be obscenely grand or self engrossed...have you've been watching bridezillas again?...it's supposed to 1 day in a life,give it to them,I say...

[b i o n i c]

ive been to more weddings than you, fuck dat shit(y)

[MC Moot]

ive been to more weddings than you, fuck dat shit(y)

well yeah,if catering counts...I'd hate them all if I was working them to...

[b i o n i c]

where did you get that i catered weddings from?

[MC Moot]

where did you get that i catered weddings from?

And christmas party's,from you,I think...or was it you were a driver?

[b i o n i c]

no, actually im a janitor, thankyouverymuch

ive been to more weddings than id like to admit and they all sucked. free liquor though

[Guy Incognito]

yes its bang out of order

[MC Moot]

^I'm relieved...cause christ...I thought you might say you're a wedding photographer...cause then the spite would all make sense...

i was at a wedding once where they tried to turn the tables on that whole shtick. every time someone tapped the glasses for them to kiss, they would pull a name from guest list and that person had to get up and kiss somebody. the only downside to the whole thing is that 95% of the people called on just kissed their wife/husband sitting right next to them.

[b i o n i c]

haha ^^

i will say though, that falling down drunks (and theyre always there) are hillarious at wedding.

i also find it hillarious how lots people act all fancy at weddings. like the fancier theyre acting, the less they really get out in real life

[MC Moot]

I bumped a lady sat night and caused a miniscule amount of wine to come over her cup and down onto her wrist,no dress damage,no biggy...but even after apology (she backed into me,really) the bitch gave me such a glare...unpucker your asshole and dance lady it's a reception...I almost said something snappy like that but I couldn't identify who/what table she was from...

[MC Moot]

Also I don't like being sat at the 12th of 14 tables...a very distinct feeling of being at the back of the bus...although having dated the bride,that's probably fitting...

[b i o n i c]

doesnt get out much, does she?

i think i would just hang myself if i had to be at weddings all the time, like a wedding phtographer.

[insertnamehere]

former WWF heavyweight champion ivan koloff is going to be ministering my dads wedding in a few weeks.

i dont really know how weddings work. the only one ive really been to was my grandpas, and that was a little different because he's catholic and it was for some 80 year olds...

[insertnamehere]

oh, and to answer your question, i think it would be in poor taste UNLESS it is a close relative of one of the couple getting married, in which case it seems like the easiest time to tell all of your family at once, since everyone is likely together already.

Not when it's the groom lemme tell ya.

[NicRN77]

I find most weddings to be very dull and boring. Especially if they are held at in a hotel ballroom. So cookie cutter. Same layout, different couple getting married.

any of you guys married?

[ms.peachy]

I quite enjoy them. Sadly everyone's married now so I don't get invited to any anymore, boo hoo. For a few years it seemed like we were going to them all the time. Went to some great ones, definitely not 'cookie cutter'. Some of the best ones were:

- in Madrid, at this amazing centuries-old Catholic church with beautiful ironwork
- barefoot on the beach at the Jersey Shore
- in a fantastic medieval castle in Slovakia
- at Christmastime, in a gorgeous Unitarian church in Lancaster PA; the bride and groom arrived in a sleigh with bells jingling the church was all lit with lanterns in pine boughs, it was unbelievably beautiful
- on a boat cruising NY harbor, dancing to Motown (oh wait, that was my wedding)
- in the botanical gardens in Northern New Jersey, perfect weather, beautiful setting
- a friend who married a Japanese woman, her friends and her father did traditional dances in traditional dress (the one her father did involved a sword, it was quite cool)
- in Vegas with a spot-on Elvis impersonator
- at the National Arts Club in NYC, smoking cigars and drinking scotch
- a gay Jewish wedding at the Maritime museum in Amsterdam. Best gay Jewish wedding at the Maritime museum in Amsterdam I've ever been to.

I wish I had more weddings to go to :(

[TurdBerglar]

i can't stop farting


they smell like deli meats

Now THESE are weddings that sound original.

[insertnamehere]

AND IVAN KOLOFF ISNT?

[RobMoney$]

OK, question for the ladies here...


You and your BF are at a wedding reception, a little high from the excitement of the day, and most likely more than a little inebriated,
Your BF gets down on his knee and pops the question...


Are you accepting?

[b i o n i c]

- wedding where the bride and groom "skydived" to the altar
- a wedding on the beach in jamaica with tons of free "unsanctioned" herbs for the guests
- a wedding at the rainbow room, oooh fancy
- a wedding at st. patricks cathedral, classically catholic, vanderbilt mansion reception or some shit
- a wedding in a barn in bucks county pa with a bluegrass band and horses and crap. this is probably the one i liked the best, id do it - simple + tasteful
- a wedding in nantucket on a gigantic boat.
- a wedding in miami at a beach front location w/ 3 bands
- a country wedding in argentina on a ranch with gauchoey stuffs
- a country club wedding with a 8-12 (it was a lot of dudes, i dont remember) piece jazz band and 2 dj's
+ a million other ny country club weddings in westchester county

the best parts of them are probably not what they had in mind..
..yeah, they all kinda sucked.

and i refuse to ever attend a wedding in new jersey on principle

[paul jones]

I haven't been to many weddings but they pretty dull.

I hate wearing a suit and having to dance to WHAM!

If we were both a little drunk AND I'd been thinking favourably about marrying him already, then quite possibly in the excitement of the moment yes, but clearly that's not a situation wherein I'd be exercising the best judgment. The next day when I sobered up I'd probably feel we'd been a bit out of line and would write a sincere note of apology to the bride and groom for the insensitive timing.

same.


as for weddings, I usually like them and have fun. except for my cousin's wedding, my mom and aunt made a big deal about me going and how it'd be rude if I didn't, so I went and the bitch didn't even say word one to me. I wasted a weekend traveling to that stupid wedding because I lived 6 hours away. the food sucked and I was with my mom so I couldn't even get drunk. boo, a hiss.

[HEIRESS]

I honestly have more "fun" at funeral wakes than weddings. yup.

[MC Moot]

My 2 fave: A Genoa wedding with a money tree,that was so tall there was a step ladder to clip your cash on…it was pretty much the first 25 minutes of the Godfather…and the other was my best mates Sikh wedding…Sikh wedding’s are the tops…that’s some serious ceremoney…I think destination marriages are even more retarded than legion or community hall affairs…you’re invited and hey no pressure,but we’re doing it in fuck’n Fiji…gawd…ELOPE or bust…

[hpdrifter]

Wow.

Not drunk, though, just clumsy. Also not the groom.

If I had video of my wedding night I'd post it to youtube. But no one would laugh.

[MC Moot]

I'll take a drunken groom and best men as opposed to a coke'd up groom and grooomsman...

[hpdrifter]

Maybe. At least on coke you're coherent and not blacked out and out of control.

Edit: This should not be interpreted by anyone as hpdrifter condoning the use of any illegal drugs.

[Kid Presentable]

Not when it's the groom lemme tell ya.

Please tell me the dude you married didn't get falling down drunk at your wedding.

[hpdrifter]

Falling down, blacked out, fighting, bleeding, almost getting us kicked out of out hotel and eventually passing out.

Sadly, it only got worse from there.

I've been contemplating posting the whole sordid story. It's long, maybe I'll post it in chunks TV sitcom style.

Trying not to judge, you seem nice, and he seems to treat you like a bit of an afterthought.

I get in the shit for getting rats-arsed drunk at other people's weddings, if it happens to be the 'Dark' me that rears its head. The 'Light' me sings. But yeah, I copped it recently, and fair play I was a bit out of line.

I put a few beers away at our reception, but as I'd been told by others who'd been through it, it's too hard to get smashed (try as you might) because you're too happy.

[hpdrifter]

Well it was a fucked up night, and not in a good way.

I spent my wedding night alone, on the couch of our suite, trying not to implode.

[Kid Presentable]

Are you still with him?

[hpdrifter]

Yep.

Imma start composing the tale. It's an epic tale of love, drunkeness, and a life that went supernova one fateful night.

[Kid Presentable]

Do you worry about developing 'battered wife' syndrome? Or has he done something amazingly amazing that you're keeping quiet?

All the best if I forget to say it, you're a pretty nice person, you should enjoy your life.

[MC Moot]

Yep.

lo siento...
