i want to go.....

Sorry, can't help you there! I have three lined up over the next few months and I hate them. They do nothing but bring out my anxieties about my appearance and meeting people I don't know. The only consolation is that H is DJing two of the three so I'm kind of 'working' as well as being a guest and that distracts me.

Lord i'd kill to swap places with you. i'd go broke, but whatever! lol

i LOVE other peoples weddings. have done ever since i was a little one. i love the excitement and anticipation. love seeing the choices of the couple and guessing who chose what. love the feeling of honour to be there. love seeing two people so insanely happy. LOVE WEDDINGS! ^_^ lol

Winter I feel your pain I LOVE weddings! Last one was nye but I much more enjoying being a guest...definitely need more friends but agree being on here more makes me want too go too one...I'm thinking I could bake a cake sit in my wedding dress with some champers ?

I'm two weddings down and still have two more to go to.

Now I'm married I love going to weddings as it means we don't get the "when are you two getting married?", "it's your turn next" kind of comments. We had been together for 7 years before getting wed, which I suppose invites those kind of comments, but I used to just find it annoying.

Anyway, got a hen do this weekend and one in June in Portugal, really looking forward to them.

I'm the same miss winter, I love weddings but I don't have a massive amount of friends and the ones I do have are already married. Except one, but she's single and doesn't actually want to get married!

Haven't been to a full day since 2013 and almost a year since my last evening do too. for an addict like me it's torture! and not even a sniff of one on the horizon.

i have 5 best friends. all male. one is my husband, so no chance from him. 2 in long term relationships but both have admitted in private that they're not ready to buy a ring yet. 1 is my brother who doesn't even have a g/f and who tbh i kinda don't want to get married as i know i'll be SIL from hell. he's my best friend!! some hussy can't steal him from our group! and woe betide her if she doesn't include me and the cubs in the wedding! he's my best friend and i've never seen an uncle closer to his niece and nephew!! we're an insanely close family. so yeah, kinda don't want that lol. and the other friend has never had a g/f in his entire life. he's happy alone, so not seeing a wedding coming from him.

and with hubs being in same friendship group there's no extra friends to get an invite on his side. wints doesn't have extended family; both his parents either only child or just one sibling with no children so no cousins or anything that way, and i'm not close enough to extended family to warrant invites. i'm the cousin you debate over for a few weeks because you'd only invite because you felt obligated but finally decide against lol.

ARGH!!!! lol

i might stake out the local church and randomly attend ceremonies just to get my fix hahahahaha

Urgh, I'll swap with you if you want to go to the one I have to go to in a couple of weeks! H is best man

Happily mrs s

whyfor you no 'cited?

I love weddings too! Just not so sure on this one...

Ooh, schwelley I REALLY want to gatecrash your wedding!

Yeah, I suppose this has never been an issue for me. We've only been together for 2 and a half years, so we've only been to one wedding as a couple, and we were already engaged at that point.

I guess it's odd for someone who is still hanging around a wedding forum, but I just don't have that much interest in other people's wedding dresses, decor etc. That makes me sound like an awful person, but I think it's part of why I didn't tell anyone I know IRL that we were getting married - I just think other people aren't that interested!

We'd been together over 4 years when we got married and we'd only been to one evening do in that time! (We have no friends!!) Then last year it was ours, followed three months later by one of my best friends, and then next month is H's best mate! (his second wedding, her first)

Ooh I love a good wedding too the excitement on the brides face seeing everybody all dressed up everybody looks so different when they are glam and picking my outfit and getting my hair done!!

There should be a website for people who just want to elope or have nobody they can ask to be a guest or something like a bridesmaid where the hitched crowd can volunteers to assist! Ooh the joy of that. There was a film out recently don't remember the name where a man hired himself out as a best man for people.

The Wedding Ringer. God, that was a terrible film, And I love Josh Gad and Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting.

Anyone fancy crashing Sambarines with me in a few weeks ?

I love them too. We've had at least one wedding a year for the last 4 years. We've got two other than our own this year and I'm bridesmaid at one next year. Think we might start running low on weddings after that though. Oh's friends are all younger than me and none are married yet so we might have a few getting hitched in a few years.

I'd LOVE to crash sambarines, but it's so far away

I'll be there ;-)

Aww, you guys! ?❤️

I'll make sure there are a few extra Order of Services, just don't expect feeding! ?

Hehe, we'll come and watch the blubbering bit and then come back for the dancing!

i can't eat til gone 6pm anyways and i'm on a restricted diet so always self cater- can i come??? hehehe xxx

There will most likely be a LOT of blubbering... my mum'll cry, my dad'll cry, most likely h2b will cry.... and, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm pretty sure I'll be a blubbering wreck all day! If you're up for all that, the more the merrier!

(and I'm with you MrsS, the vows and the dancing are the best bits!)

Not alone! I love going to weddings too tho we never get to go to any! Been to 3-4 in the last 10 years or so. We're invited to our friends a couple months after ours n I was a bit like ahhh yay this is the year of weddings!! OH was slightly bemused, he wasn't sure two, when one was our own, quite constituted enough to be the year of weddings! But that's two more than usual!! I have two other engaged friends but neither of them are showing any signs of getting married for years n years-boo! I just love a chance to get a bit dressed up n dance!

The vows and the food are the best bits! But if we can't eat then dancing it is! ? I am a soppy git so I would cry too!! I balled as I walked down the aisle!

Awh did you?! Did anyone give you a tissue?! I don't know if I'll go or not, I kinda hope not, I go all blotchy n puff eyed! N it might set OH off n we'll look a right pair of soft sods!

Haha, yep, I'm such a softie! I'd already predicted that was when I was going to go, so I made sure everyone had tissues to hand to give me! Thankfully because it was a happy cry I didn't blotch up like I usually do, thank god! My photos are a hilarious progression of the tears

Bit blurry!

I was convinced both H and I would cry, but we didn't! I think fear of ruining my makeup overtook my emotions

Weddings are great fun, what's not to like? Your feelings are totally normal.

I love weddings too. It is a great excuse to get dressed up and have a great time celebrating someone's special day. You also get to see people you haven't seen for ages.

The only wedding I went to last year was mine. No weddings booked in for this year and husband's sister's wedding the year after. Can't wait! More people I know need to get married!

I love weddings too, I turn all emotional! You could always loiter around churches when a wedding is on, it's nice to see the bride when she comes out as for me it's all about the dress x

I just about held myself together as I walked down the aisle, but it was a close one. I did blub during my dad's speech though. I actually cried more at my bestie's wedding than my own!

Errr - this is exactly why I'm setting up a business as a wedding planner! Lol!
