Wedding hates and dislikes

Ash Vale Chimney Sweep (GU12 5NL) advertises on Yell as being available for weddings.

Hmmm ok you have called my bluff on that one Guy! Anyway Scott would never go for it!

Still no clearer on why you would want a chimney sweep at the wedding though. What would he do? dance around like Dick van *** maybe?

Eh ok so Hitched blocks out D Y K E but not Dick?!

When I googled it, the pictures just seem to show them standing next to guests looking a bit grubby (the sweep that is, not the guests...in most cases)

That's it. They don't do anything. They are just a symbol of good luck (something to do with a royal wedding if I remember correctly).

They do however carry long sticks which could be useful for knocking passing cyclists of their bikes. (That reference will only make sense to one other person, sorry)

I think it's supposed to be good luck for the bride (and maybe groom too?) to shake a chimney sweep's hand on the way to the wedding. Though these days a lot of it is just a photo op.

Oooh, that's one of mine - doing/planning anything wedding-related purely on the basis that it will be a good photo opportunity.

Ooh fun post! Here goes...

brides with 'crispy' tendrils ( over hair sprayed, over curled hair)

cake toppers that are made to look like the bride and groom

tiaras - as someone said on made in Chelsea if you don't have a family one, you shouldn't be wearing one!

Children

animals

pop songs used as entrance music during service

civil services - unless done really well they just seem a bit quick and not personal, I get the non religious thing though

weddings in hotel conference rooms

money poems

bouquet throwing

serving evening buffet an hour after you've finished a 3 course meal

now ill go back to dreaming about my strapless dress, religious service and matching bridesmaid!

And this is why I had a dress with straps! I've been to a few weddings where the bride is constantly pulling her dress back up- not a good look. So I dislike strapless dresses too.

You're marrying my OH too? This is what we're doing.

Personally, there's nothing I really *hate* about the way people do their weddings; as long as it works for them as a couple, it's fine with me

We deliberately only looked at venues that didn't need chair covers; one because I don't really like them, but also I resent the extra cost and the idea that a venue has got sh*t chairs in JUST so they can charge you for covers.

My only real hate is the rip off attitude of the majority of wedding suppliers/venues/caterers/hotels - just *mention* the word wedding and the price skyrockets! :/

Burgundy

I hate it.

Second that.

Only made worse by it being an Xmas wedding, with roses and a dress with a burgundy panel.

Agreed

Sorry I'm still obsessing about this, but I've cracked the chimney sweep mystery!!

In Great Britain it is considered lucky for a bride to see a chimney sweep on her wedding day. Many modern British sweeps hire themselves out to attend weddings in pursuance of this tradition

You are all mean nasty bullies.

i shall now flounce.

The chimney sweep thing is a first for me, never heard of such a thing haha!

Just read through 32 pages of other thread on this, hahaha..jeezo. Offended much, Sheeldon was a nice character!

Was reading it like "So thaaats where Mini got the bitter old married sig idea from" haha!

Thank god we all hate/love different things... otherwise we'd all have identikit weddings. So many of you would have hated my wedding ?.... birds of prey featured heavily, it was a red and white theme, I wore a tea dress and we had a cake of cheese.

My personal hates are:

Massive big wedding dresses

Noisy children during the service... and the parents not having the good grace to remove them

Tall centrepieces/mirrors

Over matched weddings

Updos....especially when the bride doesn't normally have long hair

Brides with far to much make-up

Horse and carriages

Not enough booze :-)

I want to thank you for posting thr link to the old thread made me chuckle. Also want to curse you as I was up until 2.30am reading the old thread. Was like a zombie doing the school run this morning!

Need to start restricting my time on here or il have bags as big as the Grand Canyon by the time the wedding comes round!

x

Oh thank god! I was beginning to think I was the only person in the world who likes red!

Just read the previous thread on this - woah! Entertaining reading

I love red too and there will be loads of red in our wedding My favourite colour so everyone will know to expect it haha.

I'd have loved your wedding btw - red & white theme & birds of prey..sounds brill to me

(jesus i'm too tired and ill, making mistakes)

same with me and purple, I'm addicted to it.

Just read the old thread omg trolls,bitching and a moderator shut down!! I'm gutted. I missed it!

Anyway,

I really hate badly fitting dresses, I'm large chested and it makes me cringe when I can see everything!

Oh and I really hate in jokes in a speech, I don't like being out of the loop!!

I would have probably won bad idea bingo but iv changed everything now as I'm weak and all you OMs have made me feel bullied ?

PS, how do I flounce? And can I have a massive hair swish too??

Now I've read most of the other thread and all of this one, its reminded me of a few more dislikes...

football and weddings don't mix

swirly waistcoats esp. burgundy

plain wedding dresses

mirrors under vases...

Is this because someone said they hate wine&champagne at weddings??

A 'little' off topic since its nothing i dislike about the wedding itself but the memento. Graphistudio photobooks, people love'em! I cant. the design is far too busy for my liking (motion blurs, colour gradients, funky photo borders) I like my 'art gallery' style and 'white space'. If the art aka photo is good it should speak for itself.

On top of that, spot colour photos. the ones where its B&W and one thing is in colour like the brides bouquet. I find it draws focus to the wrong thing in the photo.

these are just some small designer 'twitches' for me. (that and COMIC SANS D: )

OMG don't get me started on Comic Sans! ?

Just googled the photobooks-mmmm not keen. I understand what you mean

Does that make you my future wife?

Haha yes and I thank you for all of your inventive ways of trying to derail these cyclists (for the benefit of others, Guy is going to be our Toastmaster and we recently found out that a cycle race is coming past our venue just as the ceremony is due to start, causing road blocks and delays for people trying to get in and out of the venue) but I worry that these tactics will just make them take longer! What we should be doing is changing the road signs and re-routing them via France or something.

And the above of course brings me to what I hate at weddings - cycle races! But I appreciate that might just be specific to me...
