..so I need help.

Whats the social rules in these situations.

Nah, its obvious, bride fancies you loads.
Just ask what she wants and oblige on the top table in front of relatives.

My favourite wedding present: Spike Milligan's gift of a Zimmer frame for Bill Wyman when he got married to Mandy Smith.

In fact I am only going becuase my best friends husband used to work with the sister of the bride.

Forget all that present crap. I want to know if you've boned your 'best' friend and if so does the hubby know? Now that's great wedding table small talk.

"...so does she still give great head?"

If you haven't then you're not a bloke and I claim my Progrip 2 grey nylon spoon.

"...so does she still give great head?"

No point asking the husband if you want to know that... married life etc etc

I'd respectfully decline. Think childhood wedding march song thing referring to "10 feet wide".

so shes a bit of a chubber then?

you'll be okay as long as you have a bag of flour!

Well. Went to the wedding last night. Didn't take a present - was informed it wasn't required as becuase it was the last of the daughters to get married each was allowed to bring 8 friends so plenty of people in the same position as me.

It was an amazing night. The evening entertainment was a hard rock band and a BBQ!

After having seen the bride moshing I think I've seen it all. Suppose they should have explained that the bride+groom were heavy metalists so it all starts to make sense.

Still top class shin dig all round.

Fancy wanting to go to a wedding!!! I do my very best to get out of them even when it is close family.

..so I need help.

Going to a wedding on Friday. I don't know either the bride or the groom.

In fact I am only going becuase my best friends husband used to work with the sister of the bride. Fark knows why I was invited - but I never say no to a party.

So dilemma. Should I take/not take a present. Whats the social rules in these situations.

Don't worry the social rules on chatting the brides maids up and getting drunk off my arse are already squared away.

You should sh4g all the bridesmaids
