Just got home to Melbourne today. Feels strange because we sold our home a months ago; so I feel homeless in my home town. I'm literally crashing on peoples couches day from day.
I'm here a week early to be the organizer.... Claire is calling me the Bridezilla..... but she's the one working. I'm the one (having to) sort things out..!!!!!!
I'm out buying suits for my best man and I (no; not my brother. The cunt was asked to be the MC just to include him... he said yes - then denied saying he'd ever do it.....) and bought him a pink shirt the same as my ivory one. The bridesmaid is wearing pink - so I want Michael to match her as well.. But now Claire's got the shits because she's on the Gold Coast and can't control what I do/buy.
But remember - By tradition I can't see her dress before the big day...... So if I want to look FUCKING AWESOME on the day (by lying to her and telling her I bought a grey suit as opposed to matching (Michaels) black micro fibre killer 007 styles set ups) and not tell her........ Who's in the wrong. ME OR HER???!?!?!???!?!?!?!????!!
First night of my Hols in melb..... 6 wild turkeys...... excuse the bad grammar/s-peling,,,,,,,,
Remember to stuff a larger sock than normal into your pants for the wedding pictures. ;) ;D
Married? Are you retarded? The same woman EVERY night. You're an idiot. Only idiots get married.
Hang on....crap....I'm married too.
I'm still dizzy from reading the original post! ;D
Best of luck mate.
It takes work on both sides, but in the long run, it can be great.
Happy new year all....
2 days to go...
(BTW - She made me show her the suits - so she now knows what I'm wearing..... Who's wearing the pants at this wedding????? And my brother got a suit too - he's being a joint best man; so he'd better get his shit together...)
Your brother, the other best man, is bringing the joints? Helluva guy... and you said he was depressed.
Cancel the wedding! Married???? Are you crazy? ;D
Yeah, you had better call it off man! :o Otherwise Claire would be cheating on her husband whenever she wants to get laid instead of just cheating on someone who's off on business or playing backgammon online all the time. :D ;D
SOOOO????? Howed it go fucker? Don't tell me you ai'nt been here lurking just 'cos you got a ring on your finger ;).
Seriously Miles, I hope the day went well for you and Claire.
Spud.
Well. All done.
I'm sooooo glad I got my brother involved. He was great.
I pretty bad hayfever on the day; but one of Claire's cousins boyfriends gave me the best wedding present one could ever get - hayfever tablets...... Stopped me from getting worse although I nwas blowing my nose all night.
My Dad cried at the end of the ceremony. I got tight in the throat a couple of times; but kept it together. If I had've seen him crying I would have lost it. Straight after the ceremony I went up to him and congratulated HIM. He said 'what for?' I said 'you finally got one of us married...'
We payed for a great little cottage on the grounds for the night. Went staright to bed when we got there due to the hayfever. Only made the marriage legal this morning. (But twice....)
Claire walked down the (outside) aisle to Nick Caves' "Into My Arms". Check it out from I tunes/Limewire. Fantastic song that's actually a little anti relgious.....
We leave for the honeymoon to Noosa tomorrow morning....
A little of the record qestion....
We asked for 'wishing well' donations for the honeymoon. Apart from being broke and neding spending money; we couldn't fly presents home the next day.
Most people were great; even got a donation from a band member.... hang on. I'll go into that in a sec. Forgot who I was talking too.... You guys'll love this.....
Anyway. One of my best friends didn't leave a card (the money not really the issue). That shattered me; but later that night she apologised by sms and said it was still in her handbag. That's enough for me - feel keeeaaps better.
But just half an hour ago I've realised a few othe rgood friends who eft nothibg. And one is coming up to use our place for free whilst we're on our honeymoon.
What do you guys think???? A little disrespectful???? (My brother is BROKE - I still left a nice card with a Tatts ticket in it. The words and sentiments were nice)
Anyway; the other story.
I'm out with my future FIL when a mate who's playing in the band for the night calls. To word you guys up; there's two mates of mine who play in a hillbilly banjo band called fingerbone bill; and they offered to play for free; so I said "Great - don't bring us a present (cash) - the music would be the gift. But we agrred (6 weeks ago) that the other two would need $100 each - mates rates.
So 2 days before; Johnno calls and says; one guy can't make it - the other needs a seat at a table (Ie. fed and becomes a 'guest') I remind him that the numbers are done and that we are at our 65 person limit (Numbers a prob). He says "We can't treat him like a leper - it's all too hard."
Claire's Dad goes ballistic.
"What sort of Prick mates do you have - How dare he. On MY DAUGHTERS wedding" etc.etc.
Anyway; BOTH guys show up; AT the organised gig time (not reception - even though we found and paid for a seat (that the venue DID end up refunding)) and played a great set.
But then after all that unnecessary hoo ha; Johnno leaves us a card with $80 in it.
People never cease to amaze me.
People we hardly know or have never met leave us hundreds of $$$$$; The band guy who's supposed to leave us nothing cracks it; then still leaves a gift; and a good friend KNOWING he's coming up to use our place for free leaves us nothing........(And he asked to bring a mail order girlfriend that we'd never met - remember the 65 person limit????? My mum wasn't at the wedding because numbers meant we couldn't get her carer there)
Go figure...
Thanks for the best wishes....
Now you deserve to be called "fucker" !!!
BE HAPPY, dude !!!!!
Here we say:
"Tous mes voeux de bonheur"
I'm really happy. Things went great. Sorry if I come across negative - I don't mean too. My job is to analyse people - so I find stories like this interwesting. On the contrary; the story about my close friend is very positive; and I only told you guys the band story 'cause you're all muso's; and that also ended very positive......
I'm very grateful for life at the moment..... :P
I now know more reasons why I don't need to get married! Way too many bullshit headaches there!
But now it's done and you can go back to your regular life (playing music and backgammon without getting any ;) :D ).
As TB said, BE HAPPY now! :)
Too many fuckin' words to read up there. :D
And should you be pissed because they didn't leave anything? He may have left it in his handbag, too. Can't believe you fell for that shit. She obviously rooted around in that bag for tampons or money for the bar or a cigarette or a condom for the dude she porked behind the bar... Challenge the bloke, though... 'can't find your card... wanna make sure it wasn't lost.' Then turn off the electric at the house if he doesn't come up with a good excuse.
Oh yeah. My condolences on the nuptials. :D
Too many fuckin' words to read up there. Cheesy
Yeah, I don't know if you came off "negative" or not. I couldn't understand half of what you said. ;D ;D
Seriously, congrats man! Best wishes for a long happy marriage.
In my experience Aussies makes much more sense in person ;)
Congrats Miles! I think...
Just got back today from the honeymoon...
Lotsa fun.
Jetskiing; (Almost threw Claire off twice), horseriding, surf lessons, 4wd-ing on Fraser Island; (a 20 minute flight also.. miss that shit big time) Lots of spa baths on the deck overlooking the Noosa Ocean....
Back to work next week with 4 potential jobs...
Well, again I offer congrats on the wedding and honeymoon.... even though I see no mention of sex. :-? :-?
