Even if they doubled the price of the drink and it was a cash bar, we can all do the dancing, stupid shit and toilet breaking. This is a country of high achievers!

Guest Conor74 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Again, not sure what the norm is in the US, but always tell grooms to give a short speech and make it 100% about your bride, how she is so beautiful and wonderful etc. etc. I see too many grooms drone on and thank the staff of the hotel and give flowers to their mum and raise toasts to the bridesmaids...and that's entirely the work of the best man. It's the bride's day, so the groom should kiss ass and tell everyone how incredible she is. Did I say short speeches? Well if not, keep speeches under 5 minutes each. Was at a wedding 2 years ago where they went on for over 90 minutes, so everyone still talks about it instead of the food, music, weather, band, style etc. etc. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54103-planning-a-wedding/page/2/#findComment-1264886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, seating charts. A new enough phenomenon in Ireland. An abomination. Hate it when someone sticks you beside someone you actually hate but just haven't announced it in public, while your best friends are stuck with someone they hate on the far side of the room. That's one thing I do remember at some weddings, having people you don't like landed on your table because the bride didn't know.

marf Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) I think having to pay for drinks at someones wedding is kind of rude. I don't want to lose money over your love life.

Guest Conor74 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yep, around this part of Ireland anyway. Must have been to 50 of the things, and can only actually remember one free bar, which was actually an Irish wedding in Italy comwe to think of it. Of course there's free wine and a free drinks reception at many, but not a free bar. Same goes for funeral dos. Only time you'll see a free bar round here is at something like a work function or Christmas do. If they were expected to pay for a few hundred people getting drunk in Ireland, noone would get married here at all. If it's par for the course in other countries that may not be as used to consuming huge quantites of alcohol in a social setting, that's fair enough.

marf Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 my sister married a guy that has a good job and his family does really well financially. My Grandmother gives my mother shit every time she sees her for not being able to help pay for the wedding.
