HypotheicalWimb. Let's say if you were getting married but planning to move abroad

[Pat Vegas]

say 6 months later or so. But importantly keeping this moving abroad plan secret from friends and family.

How would deal with the wedding present situation without looking suspicious.

For example household items or vouchers for household items shop would not really be great. and it would be mean to sell them.

What could you hypothetically ask for? vouchers for flights or something? CASH MONEY IS SO VULGAR.

Weird times.

[Jake]

[Pat Vegas]

Hypothetically.

[Pokster]

[Pat Vegas]

before upsetting them by leaving. In particular my mother.

Plus they will then assume the theoretical wedding is just an immigration scheme.

[Classic Jorge]

situation imo

[Pokster]

the present thing is tricky as if you ask for flight vouchers etc then announce in a few months they will have a go at you because you had obviously planned it..... get married abroad imo

[Billy Goat Sverige]

It was quite something :hehe:

[Pokster]

[Monty91]

You're better than that, Fash.

[Pat Vegas]

[Pokster]

marriage is ace... well, second time it is

[Pokster]

in fact do any shops let you switch vouchers from 1 country to another?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Pokster]

[Pat Vegas]

[Pat Vegas]

I could ask for Sears vouchers.

[Monty91]

I've told people we're having a baby and got engaged, all they wanna talk about is the engagement.

As I said, no imagination.

[Classic Jorge]

[Classic Jorge]

It just seems very embarrassing and narcissistic, spending all that money so you can be the centre of attention for one day and then go on a cliche'd expensive holiday.

Luckily my other half feels pretty much the same, unlike 99% of women.

The whole argument about how it's a display of commitment is a bit of a nonsense really, especially factoring in the fact you have a mortgage and a child together.

[Monty91]

her assets (not her tits) go to you and your dependent/s should they die.

Apart from that, I feel entirely the same.

Are there not some legal advantages you get when you marry each other? Half, Edie!!!

I would hate going to my own.

[Pat Vegas]

and have another 6 booked in the next couple of months.

[Monty91]

liked - *run* into the reception hall at their wedding, as if they're Michael Barrymore at the beginning of Strike if Lucky, holding hands and waving and giggling like cretins.

[Mack]

tax breaks ..

[Peter]

Why do they think i would give a f**k their relationship? Why would i want to stand there for half an hour while they get a *******ing from a priest?

And f**king hell, they get so offended if you dont come, or if you leave early, or if when asked if you enjoyed it you say 'of course not, it was f**king torture, like every other wedding'

In the main phase when all my friends were at it i actually refused to be best man twice, on the grounds that i probably wouldnt even be coming :-)

[Peter]

If you get arsehole drunk there will be an incident because there are mothers and grandmothers and uncles and aunts everywhere.

[Classic Jorge]

This was a man whom I had seen chew his face off dancing to deep dutch trance for twelve hours straight.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Peter]

Terrible, terrible, terrible music, all f**king night. 'Floor fillers'

Absolute f**king torture. :-(

weddings and all that, like, square stuff is, like, totally 5th form, man.

[7evens]

Staying un married is predominantly for those who are putting their partners on the first reserve list.
Leaving their options open, just in case something better comes along.

Trust me on this one

[Peter]

I just really dont like weddings. If you wont accept any of these reasons, how about this- they are all exactly the same. Different hotel, different bride and groom in the chair but otherwise, same day, similar speeches (downloaded from the internet) same music, very similar food.

And the ****ers stand around discussing whether this one was better than their own.

f**king awful. The only one i remotely enjoyed was the one whe the guy who played des in minder was there.

[Classic Jorge]

Surely that only applies if you're a duplicitous, nasty individual who is also a bit tight.

Fair enough if you place a premium on being independent.

Marriage isn't for everyone

[Peter]

[Classic Jorge]

[7evens]

[Ashberto]

Or maybe not. Maybe we should all just stop making retarded, reductive generalisations and let people choose without damnation.

[Peter]

[Classic Jorge]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I have her brother and his wife staying at our place this weekend. Hoping they bring some cured delights with them.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[7evens]

The hard bit is finding the right partner.

Once you find them. Nothing betterer.

I'm a very lucky fella :-)

[Classic Jorge]

If you have a kid and/or a mortgage together isnt marriage pretty superfluous anyway?

I mean, they are both harder to extricate yourself from

[Peter]

Made no difference whatsoever.

They disagree on principle and in practice they want to see that you love them more than you love being right.

I happily go along with it until it comes to something important and expensive.

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I buy approximately 87.42% of things from Amazon now.

[Mack]

at a wedding. And we are talking Irish weddings which are just as stereotypically pissupish as you might expect. Can't wait for the post divorce round of second marriages to start ..

[Peter]

But it would have to be a 20 minute ceremony with no guests.

[Maz]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

[Ashberto]

Terrible, terrible things imo. Can't we just push a button and let it be if we really have to? Can we please not have the torture of excruciating ceremonies and rituals of crass self-indulgence, cliche and general nails-down-the-blackboard horror.

:cry:

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I just discovered recently that I can get things delivered to Amazon lockers near my house. Or for bigger things I can get them delivered to a petrol station round the corner for me to collect.

I should sort Prime out, I guess.

[Peter]

And every, single one had an incident. Screaming at an uncle, swearing, someone streaking, an accusation of rape, police called to the b and b because someone was tryig to break into the wrong room.

It was only me once but someone has made a right c**t of themselves at every wedding i have been to. And always one of my mates.

Before talk of a wedding.

Face it, you cant impose this **** on everyone, not even every woman.

[Maz]

[Mack]

Seems I have a higher class of mate/relative than the rest of ye :shrug:

[7evens]

Only in my experience mind. There are always exceptions but live in partners split up far more often than marrieds.

I believe that's a statistical fact.

[Ashberto]

This is seriously the best thing about the internet. The contribution to global GDP is incalculable. It might even balance the loss to global GDP caused by people pissing about on it.

Well, actually, no.

[Mack]

[Peter]

There was ludicrous drinking, constant swearing, drug taking, smashed glass, the works. Its just that everyone found it funny :-)

So actuslly, the behaviour is largly the same its just that my friends and their families are maybe a little sensitive.

My sister's wedding was a near riot. 50 scousers. I thought it was f**king hilarious :-)

•A recent study on cohabitation concluded that after five to seven years, only 21 percent of unmarried couples were still living together.


•55 percent of cohabitating couples get married within five years of moving in together. Forty percent of couples who live together break up within that same time period


•The likelihood that a woman will eventually marry is significantly lower for those who first had a child out of wedlock. By age 35, only 70 percent of all unwed mothers are married in contrast to 88 percent of women who have not had a child out of wedlock.

Monty has a point about isolated stats but stats like these aren't there to explore every social set of circumstances.

Easyjet are fúcking the airline industry, fúcking the experience of travel, fúcking airports, and fúcking the idea of sensible, benevolent capitalism.

They are, basically, Satan incarnate.

Please stop supporting this evil. Please.

[Classic Jorge]

Can you expand on this crazy 'benevolent capitalism' idea?

[Maravilloso Marvo]

They allocate your seat before you get on and only leave your suitcase on the tarmac in the píssing rain at Gatwick for 15 minutes whilst you look out at the window and start thinking about what is getting damaged/ruined in there.

[Snin]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

allowing your customers to afford it whilst your staff earn a decent wage and work in decent conditions.

I'm no economist but this common-sense model seems to work for me.

I don't really grind the faces of the workers into the dust, j. It's just not allowed any more :-(

prevalent than *ahem* some amongst us would care to admit.

Of course there is always the matter if degree. What I consider a fair wage might not be exactly the same as your opinion on the matter - although in all seriousness I pay my staff significantly above industry standards and in return, generally, I get a fair amount loyalty and stability.

[Classic Jorge]

You do realise that with all this nuanced, grey area bull**** you've made it virtually impossible for me to call you a nazi or, for that matter, for you to call me a communist?
