Getting married is way too ******* expensive.

You get used to it after a few times.

Getting married is way too ******* expensive.

The divorce is moreso.

Getting married is way too ******* expensive.

Having the huge wedding production most brides seem to want is way to expensive. Getting married is actually quite inexpensive.

What he said.

If it was up to me I would have only a small celebration, nothing fancy and certainly nowhere near as expensive. I don't even remember the last time I celebrated my own birthday as I hate being the center of all attention and I'd much rather have a drink with a few friends only. My fiancé, however, insisted on quite a big celebration - and unfortunately, she won. Haha. At least I made her give up the idea of getting married in church. I'm not even baptized and though I mean no disrespect to religious people, it's just not my thing. And I would rather not start my married life by lying to a priest when he asked me if I would raise my kids in the Christian faith.

Instead we'll be having an outdoors wedding in quite a nice place, but I despair every time a new cost comes up. I had no idea it would be that ****ing expensive!

This weekend I spoke to the guy who'll DJ the party. I only made one demand to him - he must play this song:



Zinedine Zidaaaaaane

Do you require filming and editing services?

 

[Magus]

Neither my partner or I could fathom spending huge money on a wedding so we went on a holiday to the US and tied the knot whilst there. Was a wedding and honeymoon in one. The parents weren't heaps chuffed with the idea but they got over it.

 

[Trewth]

I got married in Pinky Flat and we had our reception in the beer garden at the British. Cost **** all and everyone had a great time.

Yeah this idea has been floated for me and my missus, but the parents also wouldn't be happy.

Also I would feel a bit wrong seeing as I've been to a few weddings and part of a few grooms parties and wouldn't be able to return the favour.

I guess it may seem selfish to some people but the way I see it, marriage is between two people and really what they want should be the only important factor.

Plus there's always opportunity to have a big party and invite friends/family and they can all BYO.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

...marriage is between two people...

NON WOG!!!!

Get used to it.

Yes, already paid a small fortune for someone the missus chose to do that

Haha that might prove a little harder to convince them to play, but I can try

One thing I forgot to mention is that the missus agreed (and actually quite liked the idea) of having a small 'sports' decoration in one piece of furniture where couples usually put pictures of themselves and cheesy stuff like that. Instead I'll pick items from my favorite sports (such as a baseball) and I intend to get something from each of the teams I follow in the many sports I watch.

I'm trying to find a miniature aussie rules ball to put in one of the shelves and something nice to represent Port. Any suggestions are welcome

Maybe we should band together and get you sent a signed Port footy!! Make it happen BF brethren!!

Make it your wedding gift. Need something nice to remember from the day!

Weddings for Italians can be a bit surreal at times because you often meet guests for the first time from your side of the family when its your wedding. Control of the guest list is usually annexed by the parentals.

"Oh this person lived next door to your grandfather back in the village, you've never met them but we had to invite them because we were invited to their grandchild's wedding. You'll be expected to go to their funeral now because they came to your wedding."

And that's how Italian weddings often have 350+ guests.

Disappointing...you could have chosen edgie to do it and paid a large fortune........

Marriage pffft the biggest sham perpetrated on the human race

 

[Magpiespower]

Made the dumb arse mistake of using a public toilet today.

There I am in the cubicle... and the next thing I hear this unholy racket.

Sounded like hail hitting a corrugated roof.

This was followed by a stream of urine rampaging in from the adjacent cubicle.

DUDE WAS PISSING ON THE FLOOR FFS HOW HARD IS IT TO PISS IN THE BOWL!!!???

Dirty bastard didn't even wash his hands. Well, I'm assuming he didn't coz I didn't hear any taps go off. Then again, I might've missed it while dancing around his crystal clear spring water piss.

Seriously, people...

 

[68vette]

I married my wife for her looks, just not the ones she has been giving me recently.

 

[Quadzilla]

My first wedding ...ceremony at Fort Glanville and reception at Port club.

Second... both ceremony and reception at a winery in Dubbo

No more!!!

I would do it for free drinks and food.

And plane tickets, preferably return.

Accomodation would be handy too, and also a personal security team. I've played Max Payne 3. Sometimes I say bad things about Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen was robbed.
