I've never really understood the craic with getting a wedding band - why not just get some local DJ to bang out the tunes? Or even one of your mates to do it. I've been to countless weddings where the band has played with only a handful of people actually up dancing. Always seemed like a complete waste of money to me. Unless of course it's the wedding band from Old School - then it is worth every cenny!

Wedding bands are f**king muck as well. Having to pay for the pleasure of hearing a band belt out yet another version of Don't Stop Believin' and Tonight's Gonna be a Good Night sickens my balls.

Followed by a sh*te DJ banging out "classics" like Maniac 2000 Dead

And ye have already mentioned the sh*te food.

f**k weddings

agreed. cringe worthy stuff usually. no one enjoys them. can barely understand them. 

it should be limited to the old man of the young dorris to quickly welcome everyone and say that he may of lost a daughter but he's gained a son. now sit the f*** down and eat your overcooked beef (or shredded salmon), covered in bread rolls and veg. 

wedding cake is also a complete waste of time.

Weddings are the business.

On the piss for at least 12 hours.
3 course meal.
All the birds are looking top notch
Hotel sex too.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Love a good wedding, especially a family/close friends one
 
Do agree though about the speeches, should be shortened considerably. The rest is tradition really
 
At the end of the day its each to their own - its their day so can do as they please/have whatever they want
Some people just deserve a slap

Yeah I think that's the key really. If it's a load of your close mates it can be great craic but if you are at a wedding where you know fook all of the people there (say your missus's mate's wedding or a cousin) then it can be fairly boring.
 
Also agree on shortening the speeches - only the best man should be speaking for 5 mins plus.

Not a fan of weddings either. The speeches are usually unfunny, cliched and take way too long. It's all the same really. 

I went through a period of having between 6 -12 weddings to go to a year as most of my mates got hitched. My attendance record could easily have been halved if the missus would avail of my kind proposition that she goes to her pals weddings alone and vice versa. This offer was never entertained despite my repeated sales pitches to it's obvious benefits. 

Currently my run rate is a much more manageable 2 -3 weddings annually. 

I still hate them though.

A couple of years ago it felt like I was going to one a month. Thankfully that's over now and I haven't been at a wedding for two years. Most of them are fairly sh*te and it's difficult to remember one from another, especially when it's the same groups of people at a lot of them.

I'd agree that when it's one of your close friends that it's a lot better. Almost every wedding I'm at I end up having a row with my missus.

If by top notch you mean that the bride and bridesmaids usually look like party clowns then yeah.

Dreadful things weddings. From the sh*te nonsense church ceremony to the pictures to the same balls reception and sh*te food

At a wedding last year where the best man's speech went on for over half an hour. It was appalling. He lost the crowd after less than ten minutes when he made a tasteless joke about screwing... it might have been okay if it was funny, but it was sh*te and the bride's mother didn't find it one bit funny. Face like thunder. The rest of it was full of in jokes that only about ten or fifteen people got. Pure sh*te.

But if the speeches are done right, they can be very funny. Seven minutes should be the duration for a best man, with everyone else under five.
