TidyDancer's bridezilla thread part 3

[TidyDancer]

Here you go!

Jesus wept!! It gets worse better, who in their right mind has a themed wedding? Surely it's enough of a theme to say "we're getting married, please come along to help us celebrate and get shit-faced/dance like mad/ eat a whole hog?

The (3rd !) thread that just keeps giving .. Am on holiday and having to check in for updates !!!! [ blush ]

even ??! (( too much holiday rosé ))

Themed?

And she seems to have got the decades wrong if she's going for the 'golden age of Hollywood'.

Hilarious.

I once went to a gay wedding which was lovely, and a colleague asked 'what the theme was' I said, er, love? - Never heard of a themed wedding before - So he said 'aren't they doing tarts and vicars or something? because they are gay'

So are we talking Happy Days diner-style/Grease? Which is very different from Quadrophenia in the 60s. Yet "Hollywood" implies Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers and beautiful swishy dancing, which is not the 50s.

None of which is going to work.

So we're talking Grace Kelly, Hepburn and Cary Grant?

Personally I'd go as Doris Day, in a flowery, yellow hat.

Hang on ... I thought that we were supposed to feel sorry for Tidy for being un-invited to this wedding. Sounds to me like she had a lucky escape!

Seriously, is she 12?

or The Great Escape maybe senua

Sorry !

The Producers won an academy award in 1969, so you could get a few mates and see them down the aisle to Springtime for Hitler.

Yeah I don't love fancy dress anyway tbh, and DP definitely wouldn't have enjoyed it!

I desperately want one of you to actually be invited to the wedding. That would complete this saga nicely!

1950s is very last year. DB had a 50s theme - all circular skirts/nipped in waists for the ladies. As far as I remember the men couldn't really be bothered with it....

So she is outdated, too!

Why do I only get invited to normal boring weddings?

At this rate, given Horry's point that the dinosaur gets substituted by one of the guests - they'll need to blow the bride up big to be the T Rex replacement; by the sound of it they're not going to have too many problems getting all the guests to run away from her screaming...

And surely if she is going to have a theme - then choose 50s Hollywood or 60s Hollywood - that's a really wide theme that's just going to look a mess rather than cool

I think you should now offer to decorate and use some of these as your inspiration. Special/Romantic....

Blood Beast

Creature from Black Lagoon

She Monster

Giant Claw

The Creature

I reckon The Producers - nice swastikas as bunting.

Bloody hell Tidy, dodged a bullet there. Maybe this is why she doesn't get how offensive she's been - you haven't been left out, you and the other 20 have been let off the hook. You guys are the lucky ones!

Who on earth alludes to a themed wedding and decides to leave the decorations to an amateur friend and ask her at the last minute at that? That is something you would expect to pay for. I expect she meant 'hollywood glamour' which is 1940/50s - not 60s. The temptation to do something psychadelic and in paisley would be a bit much for me I'm afraid - especally if I could secure the funds from her first

I think we will all have a whip round to pay for your day off, childcare and the decorations. I'm sure if all of us from 3 threads chuck £5 in that should pay for your time, the producers soundtrack, swastika bunting and a whole world of sylvanians in little Nazi outfits.

please...

Now guests are bound to find this thread as they frantically continue Googling till the last moment, in hopes of finding something normal to wear!

Psycho was released in the 60s. A cardboard cutout of Norman Bates would add a lovely touch.

the theme sounds hideous

Your other friend has demonstrated that very very occasionally there is a good excuse for a vague passive-aggressive Facebook post.
