One thing that drives me nuts at weddings are those clowns  who insist on setting up a sweep to guess how long the speeches will take. Spanners of the highest order.

Unfortunately every table also seems to have someone who will insist on telling you about when they did the Camino. In great detail sadly.

Is this Dublin slang for Bridesmaid?  ;)

"It's a Camino thing"

Aye good one... how about you try the "Go f**k yourself" thing!!! Twats!

What's a camino?

As for the speeches, I love those sweeps. It's the only thing that keeps them interesting. I mean let's be honest, who the f*ck wants to hear various lads and ladies at the top table telling each other how great they are?

My best man did very memorable speech at my wedding. In return I was completely sh*te and still cringe at the speech I gave that day.  :-[

I've an attic full of Newbridge cutlery :)

And I've an attic of John Rocca wine glasses. Nearly blew a gasket when they arrived courtesy of a side deal from her friends. Like if I had a side deal for a surround sound system for "the house" from my mates I'm sure it would have gone down well. They have to stay in the attic for everyone's well being. I think I made my point.

The Camino is a walking trail in north Spain.

I was at a wedding when the groom's brother got drunk, said the family sighed with relief when he met the bride as they all though he was gay and then went on a 10 minute rant of 26 years of pent up aggression.  :o

I've not read back through all the pages but has anyone mentioned wedding websites??? What in the name of jaysus are they all about? A mate of mine got married stateside last year and had one. There were full profiles of all the wedding party plus other "interesting" facts, loads of photos and a countdown clock to the big day itself!!!

Thought it might be an American thing but a keep this date free letter rather than an invite came through the door last week for next July from a cousin of mine and lo and behold they have a wedding website!!!!!!

Worst speech I ever heard was from a groom who kept bubbling up and bursting into tears. Even his family were getting fed up with it after a while. Could've understood it if there'd been a recent bereavement in the family, but that wasn't the case. I think the occasion just got to him, but it was certainly embarrassing for everyone.
