hot tip of the day: avoid holding an outdoor wedding anywhere that armed drones are patrolling.

currently watching Don't Tell the Bride where they go to Thorpe Park. They may have a haunted castle there?

The on-the-door entry fee at Thorpe Park is actually more expensive per-head than the all-inclusive package we've been offered at Kinnitty Castle, pictured above.
Ireland looks like great place to get hitched at the moment.

yah but that's before you factor in your ilx invitations

tbf, i did not invite an ilxor to mine, but mine ended <2 years later, so there's yer warning
None of this shit will matter on the day, just enjoy it.
but it does matter, because women end up bearing the brunt of the responsibility for anything that goes wrong on the day -- of course guys think it's unimportant, they're not the ones who are getting told CONSTANTLY how important it is and what a shitty, cheap, thoughtless person and bad friend/relative you are if one thing's out of place.

and there's a certain luxury that comes with saying "so what, just ignore them." sorry, i can't.

good lord. my family and in-laws aren't like that at all, thankfully. I know this is never to be taken for granted and I am very lucky that way. you have my sympathies.
btw, simple things are harder to screw up. the more of a huge production it is, the easier it is for things to go wrong.

Congrats Sharivari.
Why not try a basic setup? Some bread and cheese and fine white wine.

Oh I never really posted about this.
We away and married late last year after eleven years together. Civil ceremony, two witnesses and nobody else. Drinks, lunch, change clothes, taxi, plane, few phonecalls, social media post of 'hi everyone we got married see ye in a week'. Went like a charm tbh.
We had anticipated problems with one of her parents in particular, her choice was to let them know only a few weeks in advance that we were doing it that way. On her lead, we dropped it fairly brutally on them in person and then after a few excruciating minutes we jogged on our way, being advised en route not to darken door again for a while.
Radio silence apart from a few proxy attempts early on through her brother to do it properly - mass, decent notice period, big bash with all relatives and neighbours and what have you. Other than that no parental contact for her for a few months, not til well after the deed was done in fact.
Everyone else was thrilled for us, so all in all it wasn't a bad effort. I recommend. Any questions?
