GROOMS OVERHEARD Photo : Ben a Credits y Photo nd Moll graphy I attended a wedding in the Summer where the Best Man had pulled together a typically embarrassing speech. It transpired that when the Groom was younger, he had acquired some ‘questionable video material’ on the family computer. He had covertly renamed everything, to be as inconspicuous as possible. All was well until the Father of the Groom purchased a new iPod and was attempting to configure it. Eventually, he asked for help; “It says ‘Do you want to download all media files to device?’ Should I click Yes?” Not really paying attention, the boy simply replied “Yes, just download everything”. And then realised (to both their horror) that meant ALL media files....... No further explanation needed! Bridesmaid We were wedding planning one evening, when I tried going through the schedule for the day with my other half. Bearing in mind, this was only a few months before the wedding, I’d sort of assumed he’d managed to get his head around the majority of the day. Then this happened: Groom: “Wait, so we literally get a fry up in the middle of the afternoon? EPIC!” Me: “No dear. It’s not actually a wedding breakfast.” “Why do we need name cards? We know everyone that’s coming, don’t we?” H2B to Bride “I still don’t understand why we had to pay over £100 for wedding invitations. Surely a Facebook event would have done the same job?” H2B to Best Man Bride: “We need to buy a bigger dress for our Chief Bridesmaid, as she’ll be breastfeeding at the wedding.” H2B - “If we milked her in the morning, would this make a difference?” difference? “Why do they call them wedding flavours?” Overheard at wedding If you have a quote or story that will make us giggle, email it to laura@ dottyvintageweddings.co.uk 20 Issue1 www.dottyvintageweddings.co.uk
