Not keen on getting drunk - kind of spoils things for me.<br /><br />Will try to avoid the wedding at all costs. If its just the evening I may make an exception. We could travel from Biggles mothers house and return after a couple of hours. <br /><br />I much prefer intimate celebrations I personally find them more real and sincere ( apols to anyone who has had large celebrations) I think your youngest Christening would have been lovely and true and real and respectful.<br /><br />My ex MIL was desp for Weeny to be christened. her son truly thought that Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the story for technicolour dream coat. So clearly she was very concerned about his spiritual and moral upbringing. I refused to indulge her piss up excuse and vied for the much more low key ceremony with a few close friends oh and her.<br /><br />its awful but I;m not making excuses for him anymore. i think this way weeny will slowly get to realise what he is like rather than have a great shock later on. <br /><br />xxxEeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414831229655360486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796031821985599265.post-17594045544764939492012-02-28T05:51:27.199-08:002012-02-28T05:51:27.199-08:00I think the last wedding I went to was 15 years ag...I think the last wedding I went to was 15 years ago- hubby's brother got married and it cost a fortune then. We all needed new outfits as we didn't have any suitable clothes- we don't really ' go out'. Great big fancy wedding - 7 bridesmaids,3 pageboys, choir singing - the works. They were divorced within no time. Complete and utter waste of money.We didn't even get invited to the christening of his other brother's youngest daughter because we didn't have a big fancy do when we had our youngest christened the year before. My dad had died a few months earlier,we were still grieving, so we had her christened during the Sunday morning church service, and a small group of us went for a meal. They weren't interested in that because it didn't involve a booze up so didn't turn up. Only his Mum from his side of the family bothered to attend.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796031821985599265.post-59394851923274009542012-02-27T15:03:34.884-08:002012-02-27T15:03:34.884-08:00I stopped making excuses to my children too, a sim...I stopped making excuses to my children too, a simple explanation is best. <br /><br />I hate weddings and decline all invitations and to christneings as they are too expensive for us to go to< i think i woudl be more inclined to go if it was a more frugal relaxed affairAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374600534592412579noreply@blogger.com
