I have been to two weddings like that! Not the theme, just the people lol
My cousins come from a little country town and most of the town attended.
I lived overseas at the time of the first one, I brought a nice dress and heels to wear, thank the gods the only cloths store in town was open after the ceremony and had a pair of jeans that fit me!!! I wore my nightie as a top with a dress belt to bunch it up. I still looked overdressed even though it was tee shirt style top shop nightie 😂
I really thought they would have gotten dressed up for the occasion.
It was a fun night, everyone mingled before they were drunk unlike most weddings I have been to. The reception was at the town hall, pig on the spit, lasagna & coleslaw with bread rolls... and the wedding cake was rolled out on top of a vb fridge on wheels in the shape of a can, the fridge had Jell-O shots in it. Most people didn’t leave till sunup
The tables tables looked like Kath & Kim had decorated them.

Why so cynical? Bad experience?

She might have mistakenly taken you for charitable soul...she thought too much of you didn't she dear

I dont think this idea is cynical at all, what an amazing act of love to donate (what im sure would be a pretty big sum) to others in genuine need, donate in the name of love! ❤️

To millions of people, spending money on a wedding is worthy. To each their own ❤

Should they be wearing them in place of clothes or pegging them at the guests? Actually that would unique and entertaining.

I like it

We got married at 11 then had a late luncheon / reception. We still had a band etc and all the bells n whistles but just all over and done with by 6pm. The younger ones carried on boozing at a pub and oldies who would have felt obliged to stay went home happy

Removal of the garter is not new. I thought it was normally done by the best man though. I haven’t heard the part about everyone imagining the bride having an orgasm. That’s crass. As is the whole garter tradition.

I didn't do that because I find it tacky

^ To each their own

Never heard the bit about the bride having an orgasm haha

That's actually a pretty good idea :)

Ive been trying to sell my wishing well and no one wants it. So I thought it wasn’t the done thing anymore. I never actually used it for a wedding, I bought it off gum tree years ago for my daughter to play with.

It’s practical. Most people life together before they marry these days and are already set up and don’t need toasters and dinner sets and wine gasses. And I like them because it means I don’t have to go shopping.

When people are crass enough to ask for money or say there's a wishing well I simply go and buy them something like a dinner set or saucepan etc. If people don't request money etc then I'm happy to give them money.
