HanoiVillan Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I love that you posted this under basically your real name . . . 8 hours ago, mjmooney said: Our daughter's wedding, latest. It was understood upfront that we would share the cost of the thing with the groom's parents. So far, we've forked out for the venue deposit and several other sundry costs. Now the groom casually relays to us a conversation he had with his dad: "Oh, we've decided to get some windows done, so we may not be able to help out with the wedding, after all". Well, thanks a bunch. . . . and then added this, just to make sure there was no confusion with any other Mooney's with tight-arsed future in-laws! 4 hours ago, mjmooney said: On the name thing, there are some intriguing coincidences in our family. Obviously, my wife married a MOONEY. One of her sisters married a MALTBY (M----Y) Her other sister married a POOLEY (-OO-EY) My daughter is marrying a MAYBURY (M-----Y) The other daughter may have to trade in her partner (DALE) if she's going to stick with the pattern.

Popular Post 8pints Posted August 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2017 My mate Maybury had a bit of a nightmare recently. His son's marrying this girl whose father's a psycho. After demanding Maybury paid for the entire wedding he proceeded to put through Maybury's windows to show it wasn't just a threat. He then pulled his pants down and flashed his bottom to the entire neighbourhood. I feel for him. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with whether he'll say no or not. Why the **** should it matter if the father is on board or not? I'm not marrying him. The only person's permission I need is the bride If I asked the OH's dad and he said no I'd just tell him I'm gonna marry her anyway (there's a song in there!) SO what's the point?

I understand your point Stevo but thing with marriage is that its 90% tradition, the clothes, the process, the location, the vows etc etc, the asking of the fathers permission is not literally about getting permission obviously. Its just one of the many 'traditions. It will probably mean a lot to the OH. Saying that, I didn't ask my father in law probably for the same reasons you're not keen (he's a c0ck).

Exactly, and it's the traditions that annoy me. It's hypocritical, because I'll probably abide by some traditions and not others. But the whole wedding etiquette and doing stuff just because it's tradition annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villarule123 Posted August 22, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2017 I asked my father in law but that was only when my missus asked me to after I proposed. I think I asked him moments after nailing his daughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a big wedding because there's lots of people I'd like to invite. Mainly Irish family. I've been invited to pretty much all of their weddings (and there's been a lot) so I want them at mine. But I also despise a lot of the traditions that come with weddings. Inviting people that you "have" to invite. Doing certain things, giving the right amount of money all that shite. It's the OH's sister's wedding this weekend and it's driving me up the wall. None of that shit at mine. I'll invite who I want and we'll do it how we want. Not shagging the hottie at work then?

Weekend at Bernies style, flog his arm around your shoulder and maybe place a big cigar in his jaws + a baseball cap. I'd give it a like. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
