Drag queen at wedding

[wedding2021]

I'm considering having a drag queen sing at my wedding. What would you think if you were at a wedding and a drag queen had been booked to perform? Obviously they'd tone it down a bit with swearing etc.

Drag acts put me on edge tbh so I’d probably go and step outside for a bit.

Sounds shit as fuck for a pub let alone a wedding

God no, that would be bloody awful. I hate drag for what it represents but also because most drag acts are rubbish.

I've been to weddings with magicians, caricaturists etc and they are all universally ignored by the guests. People don't want 'entertainment', the entertainment is watching their loved ones get married and beyond that most people just want to eat and drink and that's it,

We had a ceilidh, as did huge numbers of our friends, but it's quite standard in Scotland.

I raise you...

A wedding where the groom surprised his bride with....

...

...

...a kissogram

I kid you not.

And the bride was the sweetest, shyest woman you could possibly meet. Hated every second, bless her.

I'd probably leave early, it's not my thing at all.

We had a band, chose the songs we knew would get the guests dancing, from their playlist and then a DJ after that which played songs that had been requested by the guests before the day itself.

I went to Liverpool last summer and we went into the Museum of Liverpool. The main entrance hall had a massive school group of older primary kids and their teachers sat in a circle and in the middle - a drag act.

I was shocked.

Tacky.

I’ve only had a few experiences with drag queens, first one was during a ladies night/hen night with strippers etc....... yuk not for wedding
2nd time full drag queen dance act on holiday in Tenerife, beautiful make up and dancing but not suitable for family time
Stripper booked for leaving colleague in office with lots of staff with chidren totally inappropriate
A kind of drag queen a la Danny la rue and lily savage lots of comedy and innuendo And singing and dancing perhaps getting naughtier as little ones go home to the land of nod. I’d love it and no ackward silences. My grandmother born in 1909 loved Danny la rue, it can be adapted to what ever you want!

I would think you’re an idiot

Dementor. Plan a fabulous wedding - with or without D/Q. Good wishes!

No. You'd be upstaged. Seriously, why not just get the Crankies in, or that Emu or anything from ITV . Dreadful idea.

“ Hire a minstrel show while you’re at it”
There is no comparison and never will be.
Some of you on here tonight are tripping over your own ignorance in your desperate attempts to be “ woke”.

Not for me.

@Mucklowe

Seriously?

Please elaborate...

🤮

The last thing I'd want at the end of a romantic day is some bloke dressed as a grotesque caricature of womanhood putting me back in my place. I would probably leave the room.

To be honest though, I'm not sure why you'd think you had to save your own wedding from being boring 🙄

@YgritteSnow
Danny La Rue said it.
It was a joke
Which went over most people’s heads😊

Aside from anyone’s personal feelings about drag, I don’t think weddings need entertainment. As long as there’s plenty of food and drink and some music, mostly people enjoy catching up with old friends and family. I find structured activity or entertainment really annoying at weddings. Except for ceilidhs, which are always ace.

Went to a wedding with limbo dancing. Random but quite fun if you had drunk enough rum

I'd wonder what the fuck you were thinking, and go outside for a fag while the act was on. I don't even smoke...
Incredibly low rent.

I'd not like that at all.

Are they just singing? There's usually chat and it's usually taking the piss out of women. Risky.

Everyone has a disco because it's what people like!

Live band? We had a live band it was fab.

Aw you so should there is so may amzing drag artists out there just now I'd love it if I was at a wedding and they had drag itd make my day but as you can tell I love the drag Queens but totally up to you plus its different

Please don't

Just go for a tarts and vicars theme for the whole wedding as well.

Why not a stripper or a magician? Unless you enjoy having the merry piss taken out of you and loads of ‘nudge nudge wink wink’ wedding night and penis/fish jokes made at your expense.

They just take the piss out of women so not for me. Each to their own, it's your wedding after all.

I'd like it. But tbh I live a live act but not at a wedding. Just when everyone gets up to dance an act comes on and the vibe changes have either a disco or a band don't have both. Or if you do have the disco on after
