Iv'e Got A Cunning Plan

[Bazile]

Cheeky ?

If you weren't a family member, would you be happy to make such a contribution ?

"Why would you not like them?"

Because I'm extremely choosy and because my experience of meeting people in such circumstances is that overwhelmingly I do not like them.

I've never really heard of a wedding where all the guests are accommodated at the B&Gs expense. Maybe I don't move in the right circles (?).

I agree with NJ as well. Sounds like a living hell after the first 24hrs.

[ummmm]

That's a shame. I like most people I meet.

Lil pasta and her BF have been to 7 or 8 weddings over the past 3-4 months. Except for 1, all have been in Europe...Portugal, Corsica, Italy. Several were BFs family...he's Italian, so I assume they were put up for those. Daughter says they varied in cost with several being quite OTT. She says when she does it ,it will be low key...possibly a party for their friends rather than a spending frenzy like some seem to be. That's what her dad and I did. My mum was widowed, and we didn't expect her to pay.( That horrid tradition that says the bride's family pays). His family was coming over from the UK, and just having them present was lovely. We got married in a registry office and had a party in our flat after. It ended at 1am.

Blimey in my day you wrote out a list of stuff you wanted, not usually expensive and you only gave it to a guest if they asked for it ...

Made my brother laugh too, Baz........he'd been told why I was seated where I was and kept winking and grinning at me from the fun family table.... :-(
We're a big family so I've told the rest that any wedding where I'm expected to be the entertainment for the dull table will result in a huge bill for my services........... ;-)

Not too far out, Albs.......except for the banjo.....x
