Impending wedding
10. Aug 2006 at 23:45

No not mine, my stepson (age 20). Next Friday.

Seeing Stuarts post about his impending twins made me think about our munchkins.

So far, it's got all the hallmarks of a classic family disaster.

There's the evil (but wealthy) stepmother whom my wife hates.
The relatives from Australia. Enough said.
The grooms grandparents whom now cannot attend due to unfortunate personal circumstances.
The best mans' (grooms brother) speech, which as yet, is unwritten.
The grooms suit fitting with the retailer that's gone out of business.
The happy couples' decision to buy a new car as well as somehow affording the wedding.

And the other, usual family related problems. Who is, and is not invited. Who sits next to who etc.

Good God. Makes me glad my wife and I got married in Gretna Green with just two close freinds as witnesses and after invited everyone we know to come for a booze up at our local.

Any good wedding disaster stories out there?

Aug 2006 at 10:11 Hillper, If you have a baby or a couple of toddlers coming as well, maybe you should add them to your list. Their great for blethering through the service & speaches, and can make videoing the event a nightmare. Good luck with the day out though!

I am assuming your not designated driver on the day, if so enjoy the after party.
