To think Mumsnet would be far less interesting without wedding threads

[Behindthepaintedgarden]

I love them. All of them.
The kids not being invited, the rude poems, the guests being dragged half way around the world, the stomping up of hefty deposits for hen nights, the etiquette around 'save the date' cards, the bridesmaids being told to lose weight, the being invited to the Church and the evening do, but not the actual meal .........

Seriously, can you imagine Mumsnet twenty years ago when couples got married in their home town, had a few drinks in the local a week before hand with their best mates, ordered dresses to fit the bridesmaids and not the other way around, fed all the guests who came to the Church, and weddings lasted a few hours and not for three days.

What would we all have talked about?

Lots of thngs I imagine.

I love them, I love the scary story threads and recently I loved the most juicy dismissal stories thread.

I find some of the others a bit scathing and catty, by the time you have scrolled to the end to give your 2 cents, world war three has occurred and everyone's cussing eachother out. I like the light hearted threads!

But I do love a good MIL thread aswel

I generally dodge the wedding threads.

Wedding threads leave me cold.
Give me a zombie apocalypse thread any day.
Or a good old aibu bunfight.
