They just said on the news that 20% of people wouldn't go to a gay wedding. I've been to several straight weddings and they're pretty gay as it is.
If I could, I'd turn down attending 100% of all weddings, they're all exactly the same and equally boring as shite.

I,too, hate weddings but I'd happily go to a gay wedding because I'd hope it would be very ... Gay.

How worrying I completely agree.
This is one of those weird issues, where a minority want what everyone else has and they've been denied.
Even when what they're getting is pretty shitty.

That explains so much and yet raises so many questions.
I imagine those 20% wouldn't f**king get invited anyway.
Maybe homophobes should have gay weddings, just so they can not turn up.
One of my closest friends had a straight wedding that was the camper than a line of pink tents at Christmas.
It was Disney themed, with a Welsh male voiced singing Disney tracks during the signing of the register, a red carpet from the church leading to a Cinderella carriage. Then a legion of Roman soldiers escorted the guests down the very busy high street to the hotel for the reception.
Once at the hotel, we all had to go through a door covered in fur coats, Narnia style, to a huge room showing Disney films on screens set back into the walls. I drunk a bucketful of Champagne and watched Sleeping Beauty.
All the tables were themed by Disney princess (I was on Snow White, so we had apples and woodland creatures and a mirror and bit of fool's gold everywhere).
The first dance was obviously choreographed to Beauty and the Beast before they went on honeymoon to Walt Disney World.
I left the wedding feeling very drunk and quite sick after drinking my own bodyweight in champagne with two overriding thoughts:
1)Despite only knowing two other people at the wedding, I had had the best time and
2) This guy has been a good friend of mine since we studied law together. There has always been a very small part of me that wondered why we didn't ever quite get together. The style of his wedding made it abundantly clear why that particular ship never got moving.

Exactly. If that's their attitude how come they - allegedly - have any gay friends?

This wedding only sounds appropriate if the bride is 10 years old.
Are they going to have a Disney themed funeral too or just put their heads in the freezer?
I do quite like completely mental weddings. But I still wouldn't go to it.

Booyah
I hope if there were any Indians they got stuck on Poccahontas table.

I have no doubt he will have a pink coffin.
My mum had always thought he was gay, hence why she didn't nag me more about going out with him. He owned hair straighteners before I did.
If she had known, I would never have heard the last of it.
Whilst I chose a socially useful, publicly funded area of law, he went off to be a corporate whore in Canary Wharf. My mum has traces of the Mrs Bennet in her.

You can be against gays getting married without being a homophobe. Especially if it goes against your religious or moral values concerning the sacrament of marriage.
Obviously 20% feel strongly enough about it to not to attend. That's their choice and they shouldn't be lambasted for it - 'You're not supporting the minority I like, so f**k off and die minority I don't like!'
As for me, I really couldn't give a shit if two fruits wanna get hitched, makes not one jot of difference to my life. 'I want to pledge my love for someone publically and let the world know we're a committed couple!' - yeah, there's this thing called Facebook that does that every day.

It was really fun. With normal weddings, you know what is coming next. With this, every bit was a surprise.
I am generally a wedding fan, except for the "waving them off to have sex" bit, which creeps me out. It's all about love.
Jenny, is your friend a millionaire? Sounds like he'd have to be.

Definitive proof of his cocoa shunting. You missed a big gay bullet there Jennie.
