Tattoos on girls, earrings on men, spelling common names in different ways - saw James spelled as Jaimz recently, expensive over-the-top weddings, net curtains, primary school age children with jewellery and fancy haircuts.
Our wedding cost 1k including her dress.
I didn't want to get married. Wife mentioned it every week at least once. Had a bet with her. If I win no marriage. If she won we would get married. Knew I would win. But was early days of Internet. She had to get a certain item within 7 days. On the 7th day she handed me the item. It was a very rare CD that I thought was only on cassette
Stupid Virgin records sent the only copy they had from a London store to the Grimsby store
Wedding was a cancellation in a registry office. 10am. Dinner do was at midday. So we went to McDonalds in our attire. Night time do was free if they got £500 behind the bar. Beat that within first hour and that was when beer was cheap. Told me the next day that it beat their record by over 2 hours. We knew our friends
Catering was done by family and friends.
Over 20 years later people still say best wedding they have ever been to. I stayed up all night and was trashed on the day. Cars were my sisters and my wife's car.......which was a pink convertible. My best mate drove it....who was a Hells angel
He had a hat pulled down to try and hide his shame
Was a laugh a minute.
Funniest part was I told everyone that I would call her my awful wedded wife during the vows. I was so trashed I couldn't remember what to say at that word. The whole place erupted with laughter. Even the registrar couldn't compose herself. Finally we continued. I was a good boy. I called her my awful wedded wife
We were all gone again
Then I see people spend 50k or more then not last a year.
It isn't what you spend. It is the people you share it with. We had one rule. Nobody boring unless a parent. Was a riot from start to finish. The MIL hated it as she was a snob. But FIL loved it.
