can't be ar$ed to go to BILs wedding

[Fillyjonk]

its going to be looooong and boring and am also pissed off that they've chosen the frigging kid she nannies for as the bridesmaid, not my incredible adorable dd.

Food not good either. oh and kids menu is the usual shite.

so

AIBU???

[Caligula]

Oh that's why women wear silly hats at weddings

[Fillyjonk]

ha! its ok, have just realised something

the poor sods are getting married the day the last harry potter book comes out

so

a. odds of me not reading through the service are very very slim

b. i won't be the only one

[bubblerock]

That's the day my BIL is getting married too!

[Fillyjonk]

ah

bubble

where roughly is that wedding?

and is your bil a pita?

[nikkie]

If its that day its totally reasonable

[bubblerock]

Filly, mine's in brum and he's an absolute darling as is my sil to be [smug emoticon needed] I need to sort out my agoraphobic tendencies then I can get excited about it! They've had a really rough year with cancer and now all is well so I am not missing it for the world!

[Fillyjonk]

aw

NOT then same one, def

[Fillyjonk]

and still about the food though

I have 2 kids so could split an adult meal between them

2 kids meals are cheaper than 1 adult meal

not suprising since the kids meals are nuggets with trans fats and the adult meals are actual food

Why have such expensive food anyway for the adults? I don't get it. I went to a fabulous wedding some time ago where they served bacon/egg butties.

At our wedding we did pancakes in the shape of hearts. it was fabulous.

you can borrow our portable dvd player if you like

you could have a lot of fun at the wedding as the bride comes down the aisle you could start a teletubbies dvd on portable dvd player full blast, when the bit about anyone having any objections comes up teach your dd to shout meeeeeeeeeeeeeee give your dd nice melted choccy bar during service then after get her to give the bride a lovely horseshoe thing, then get seriously drunk and tell anyone who will listen it should have been your daughter

[Fillyjonk]

She is adorable

She has lovely blonde hair.

Its NOT FAIR!

[Blu]

Oh yes, you are being spectacularly unreasonable, so you might as well revel in it .
Have you chosen them a really ghastly present yet?

[Fillyjonk]

well i was thinking of harry potter 7

might have to wait til after the service to give it to them-depending on how quiet the dcs are being and if i can get dp to do all the driving...

[RosaLuxembourg]

Go on to Ebay and get your adorable DD a much nicer bridesmaid type dress than the one the real bridesmaid is wearing. Then push her to the front in all the photos. You could always bribe her to follow the bride up the aisle too and then pretend it was totally spontaneous, the little love just wanted to join in.
As for the food, take a packed lunch of healthy food and ostentatiously produce it when she is hungry (which will be at least an hour before there is any realistic prospect of anyone getting fed).
And definitely read HP7 throughout the day - sort of half-hiding it behind your handbag, but badly enough so people can see what you are doing.

[Fillyjonk]

pmsl rl

yes, that is a fab strategy

[SloeSloeQuickQuickGin]

Probably they won't miss your attitude so don't go.

FWIW the only people who think children are adorable are their own parents.

[CaveMum]

ZOMBIE THREAD!

Seeing as the wedding was over 10 YEARS AGO, I doubt the OP is worried anymore Sloe

[HighwayDragon1]

They're probably divorced now

[IJustLostTheGame]

Gutted.
I got quite excited about a new Harry potter book.
😣

[CoffeebyIV]

10yr old zombie alert!!!

[PeiPeiPing]

How the hell did this get resurrected?

Seriously, HOW?

Do people do this to wind people up or something?

Time to start locking threads when they have had no posts for a year.

[MountainGoats]

Me too IJustLostTheGame

[Fishandthechips]

I've just spent a good five minutes Googling for this new Harry Potter book. Damn it. Got excited there.
