Weddings these days!

[Matlock]

Why should I pay for a holiday in a place that is chosen by someone else ?
If people want to get married abroad then off with them, as in the couple.
I cannot ever understand that mindset of choosing to get married abroad and then expect all guests to pay for their travel and accommodation.

You know you can say no, right? It's an invite, not a summons!

Getting married abroad and inviting your friends and family is one of the most selfish acts a human can do.

We got married in Portugal, we gave everybody 18 months notice, we invited 65 people, 60 came, all were happy to combine the wedding with a holiday,

I’m going to one this year - looking forward to it and will add a week the other side for a holiday

Thats what they said to your face.

Could say the same for weddings anywhere you need to stay overnight

Well if one decides to consume alcohol at a wedding and thereby making themselves unable to drive.

Then that is their own decision and therefore they can pay to stay over.

Yes, I got one before.

I chose not to go.

Kind of selfish wasn't it?

Maybe people were not being straightforward with you.

Do you think people came because they didnt want to upset us?

I don't think driving long distances after a long day is advisable. But then you're the selfish type who'd rather risk other people's lives than spend a few euros on a hotel.

Classic Liam that is

No point getting married. It will all end in tears.
