I'm just trying to imagine various friends faces if I asked them if they'd contribute some money towards a wedding :clap:Quote:

I think there was only one person there he could have racially abused. Unless he started on the Irish, of course.Quote:

Just 200 of your closest friends? :hehe:Quote:

This is pretty typical of many medieval cultures like that from which you were shat; in the West we have invented the concept of 'good taste' instead.
'Struggle to keep it under 200' :hehe:Quote:

True. The thing is, yours will not be the first or the only one. Everybody will have, or will in the future, benefit from the same racket or scheme.Quote:

I'm serious. That would mainly be family. We did a count a while back and stopped at 150 essential invitees.Quote:

The first rule is under no circumstances do you tell the venue that it's for a wedding, since that immediately puts a 40% markup on the original price.Quote:

I refer you to my earlier 'bellend' comment.

Maybe they have their own dance?Quote:

Of course not! What other people do with their weddings is up to them, but has no bearing on what I do with mine.Quote:

Sure. Everyone, and anyone, who wants to help you celebrate your nuptials ought to be welcome :shrug:Quote:

Well there you go. Why on earth would you want to invite 200 cünts to your special day? The mere fact that you would consider doing so tells me you're looking at the thing all wrong.Quote:
