wedding dance thriller hell.

ph my gosh. i have a thread in classics. I have arrived

just got back from pre wedding meal.
Groom was having his back waxed when i got there. mum was asking if anyone could do her thighs then we all laughed as my brother was trimming his chest hairs.

much laughing came when we reminded my sister to ' breathe in' when in pictures ( old family joke) and i do just wonder why my family is so bloody nuts.

We interogated mother on the youtube thing. she just doesnt care and if we like it or not it will go on. i tried the date protection thing... and the violation of our rights, and disclaimer thing... she just laughs.

word is out and my brother who solomonly declared he has a rep to protect ( like a t bird im assuming?) is just dying about it.

Apparently mums friend, the only non family memeber of the unfortunate 6 had a face like thunder on the way home from the practice yesterday and hardly spoke.

lol

sister is not wearing any leg cast so i think thats safe. unless she was buying supplies for tomorrow. told them about the song, they thought it was very funny then told me off for telling more people. LOL

Dance is happening about 8.30/8:45. Its in this seperate bit which i think will be screened off and then the screens pulled back as the dance is announced.
mum and her dh will then do their bit then the music will change and we will have total embarassment.

the stiff drinks will not be happening after the ddance, they will be happening before.

seriously happening before.

else im not doing it.

i might go for the MJ lean.. if im feeling it from the crowd and drunk enough.

dear god. this is really THE most embarassing thing to ever happen to me.

I've just looked on you tube for thriller at weddings and found this www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT6InvLJUzA

I do hope you manage to survive it.! Please let us know what it was like

Oh schmon! You have opened my eyes to a whole world I had no idea existed... . Crying with laughter as I read this. Your mum sounds a hoot! And so do the rest of you!

MN has not been terribly funny recently and this is the best thread in ages...will be thinking of you all tomorrow and desperately scouring YouTube for the video.

Stop it wingedvictory! You can't want to deprive us all of this joyful experience. You like dancing yourself!

Marking my place for further updates on your experience.

I'm with fillybuster - was this supportive enough of your pain?

Poor "schmon", I bet you are going to have a very stiff drink when this dance is done, oh I feel for you (am trying so hard not to snigger), I would be counting the minutes all day until it comes. I have never wanted to gatecrash a wedding before but you are all I'm going to be thinking about (approx 7pm?) tomm.

This is just so hilarious. Can't you name the venue so a nearby MNetter could go along and report back sabotage the music system.

awesome. Please share the video with us.

Wear this

No-one will recognise you.

XP is so going to watch it. He will come to pick DD up, and DD will go "Daddy, Mummy is going to do her special dance soon - please can we stay" and he will stay and get his camera out and you will have lost all negotiating power with him for ever.

And your sister is going to call any minute now and say "you'll never guess what happened. I was shopping and I slipped and....my foot...plaster....crutches" If When she does, demand X-rays.

Sorry - not supportive and positive - it'll be fine, honest

Good luck, dear, and do remember to stick it to the cheeky cow of a wedding planner. Remember: even though she didn't make the situation, she is taking advantage of it, and that's not on.

Good to hear you getting some hilarity out of this, even if it is hysteria; it would be awful for you to be feeling crushed still! Un-MN-ty hugs to you and the Unfortunates!

Stop telling the op it can't go on youtube for various reasons, we want it to be on. We feel your pain of course

this is utterly brilliant (and completely, hugely enormously embarrassing for you, yes, I do see that....) - I've also not heard about anything like this before and am torn between wanting to curl up cringing in the corner and watching it on youtube

Sorry, was that not sufficiently supportive?

I do feel for you, I really do, but come on....it is funny....no, really, it is .

I went to wedding once where the 1st dance was expecially hysterical, and somebody did film it on their phone and put it up on Youtube. So many phones have cameras these days, I think you have to accept the inevitable. And wear a mask.

fustyarse - we used to call one of our cats that (or 'fustybum') - he was rather old and smelly

oh so sorry I have missed this until now! SchmontilIdrop (great name, btw ) I feel your pain, but only in a minor way - friends of mine got married a few years back and they oh-so-subtly asked numerous friends if they felt like coming to Bollywood dancing classes? Well, it was bleedin obvious to most of us (oddly, not to some!) that it was going to be FOR the wedding and sure enough! So we had to do a choreographed Bollywood dance on the night as well. Thankfully there were more than 6/7 of us and the bride and groom were centre stage - but still.

This thread is hilarious - it has to be moved to classics, it can't be lost in the mists of time...

HOpe it all goes well tomorrow - have a lovely lot of bubbly beforehand and get someone to nut the cameraman (even if he is a friend) beforehand.

I also think the Jacko hat and facescarf might be an idea - after all, if you're in character, why not?

absoluely pmsl a shchmon, motherfucker, geekoftheweek

stid - I feel for you, honestly

but i will be very funny for the guests, everyone will think you're a great sport etc

maybe you could try to incorporate the MJ lean from smooth criminal?

OMG I cannot WAIT to see this on youtube - promise you'll link it?

or dress like this

heeee-heeeee

"i did have to endure seeing my mum, on her hen night, tied to the bar in a hotel eating a chocolate penis that had cream dribbled down the side of it" Oh dear God, I am weeping, weeping.

Yes schmon, you must let us see the dance, we will all be terribly supportive.......

Please, please give us a link once its on youtube. We promise all to say 'no you look fine, its not embrassing at all.....'

Oh my god.

Wear a mask - all of the dancers. Get cut outs of Michael Jackson's face - or even better your mum's face - and do the danc ein that.

That'll teach her

53

its also her birthday tomorrow.

shes gone all out on what was originally a 'small budget wedding'

its now a HUGE wedding. think posh and beck really.
not my taste but, its up to her.

luckily i escaped such hen night hell as lucykate. ( god that must have been terrible!)

but thats being more than made up for by tomorrow.

anyway, must dash. pre wedding meal thing starting at 4pm....

Perhaps a sit down protest against the state of the government following the election is in order?

Not read all the posts, but how old is your mother?

oh this is so funny. OP, I really do feel your pain but really, I'm amazed my pelvic floor has held up to me reading this!

its bad luck to wish you 'good luck' so from the bottom of my heart i hope you break a leg

"i did have to endure seeing my mum, on her hen night, tied to the bar in a hotel eating a chocolate penis that had cream dribbled down the side of it"

DS just asked what I was PMSL at, had to flick over to hotmail! Am considering using this as a bribe in the teenage years though! It's almos worth getting divorced so I can remarry and threaten to do this to my DCs!!!!

god, it's going to be hidous. I would just refuse. Or could you, your brother and sister just leave after the wedding breakfast before the first dance?

How long could she stay mad? I mean, she'll have calmed down after her honeymoon...
