Madness that people drop enough to buy a house on a party. And not to mention the bloody ring. Over here the 'guidance' is 2 months salary!!! F off.

My personal take is watch the football, it’s great to watch in a group. If Liverpool win it will be a hell of a celebration, and if they don’t we’ll celebrate anyway it’s a wedding! it was me I’d put it on the biggest screen I could find and anyone who DOESN’T want to watch can pee off and find something else to do. I hate weddings, waste of time and money and a real ‘look at me/us day’ for attention seekers. Modern Britain,not so much keeping up with the jones’s,but out doing the jones’s.

You really think he’d have thought that Spurs might be in the final anyway..?! I doubt anyone thought that was very likely in the slightest. Still, they probably don’t go to many games anyway, so missing another one shouldn’t bother them too much..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know, I've been to over 200 weddings in the last decade. The B&G just have to accept it and make access to the game as easy as possible and embrace it. how much do you charge for weddings nowadays vicar?

MrBibs Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 A few weeks before the end of the season I told my 15 y/o I wouldn’t be able to make any playoff first leg as I had an invite to a wedding. In disbelief she asked who was getting married. I told her it was a mate who is a Villa fan. She asked (Totally seriously) “If Villa make the playoffs will he cancel it?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 A few years back i went to vegas to watch some of my friends get married. It was booked a year in advance and i was going to be there FA Cup final weekend. So i did the right thing and informed them that if (by some miracle) Bristol City were in the final... My plans would change and unfortunately id arrive the day after the wedding. To this day they still think i was joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC11 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Had my wedding and reception a couple of years back when we had Villa at home on the Friday night, insisted that we’d be finding somewhere for the reception that would be showing it, to be fair to her she agreed to it in the end, reluctantly.

RedM Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 18 hours ago, ExiledAjax said: I've a similar dilemma coming up. I live abroad but on Saturday August 17th this year I am back in Bristol for the first time since moving. It's my fiancée's step-brother's wedding at the Council House. I am acutely aware that there is a chance City will be at home that day. I've floated the idea of nipping down to AG in-between the end of the ceremony and the start of the reception - avoiding that two hour bit where you stand around making idle chit chat. I've even said that my fiancée can come as well. But no, apparently I'm "family" (how am I family to her step-brother?) and therefore have to be present at every minute of the damn thing. I watch for fixture release day with fingers crossed that we get the 5pm kick off on Sunday. My non football loving sister arranged to get married and went all out with a big wedding and lavish reception, she chose September for some reason. I told her if football was home I wasn’t going for at least some of it, the wedding by pure luck was at Ashton Gate (church near Lidl, not that Lidl was there back then) she thought I was joking but I told her from the off. The wedding was at 10.30 so 3pm KO should have been fine, dodge to the match between reception and night time do. Well this was years ago and City and Rovers were playing in the same division, yes you guessed it City were at home to the Gas, the biggest match of the season back then. I think the KO was early too, midday maybe. Anyway I went to the wedding, quick change into my football gear and went to the match. Totally missed the reception, speeches, photos, cake cutting crap so a right result as far as I’m concerned. I did go to the reception a lot later in the evening though. She was okay about it as I said from the start I was going to football over her wedding. It was never mentioned after, no doubt I upset some people but maybe it was the start of me learning to do what I wanted and not to please others all the time.

Up The City! Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 21 hours ago, RobArnold10 said: So ironically I’m getting married same date. Can’t say it’s kicked off like that though. Got a couple scouse and spurs fans coming, question has been asked. The first dance is over by then and it’s really just party time. If the minority of them want to hide in the corner huddling around phones (no tv in the function area) then that’s up to them, it’s a party at the end of the day. That is hilarious mind. With that attitude I'd be surprised if those fans turn up to your wedding. No doubt your wedding is important but to them the final will most likely be more important, I suggest you be a little more accommodating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think the Caesarian thing comes from a few years back ‘Too Posh to Push’. There were a lot of celebs, who were paying for private deliveries, opting for Cesarians not only to fit the baby into their schedule ( what a horrific thought) but they realised the baby would most likely come out ‘perfect’ and photo ready not having been squashed through the birth canal. I think this is a hit back at them. I certainly don’t agree with either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha well said and here here, told the Mrs the exact same if we ever got married: I'd be checking the dates religiously and it would have to be a non World Cup/Euro year and avoid all possible cup final days, even though the chances of City ever being in such a position are very slim. Unfortunately there's a big divide between footy fans and non-fans. Some people really don't understand the passion and obsession. And on the flip-side I can't understand why non-fans don't get our position on it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 After deciding we would go and get married at Gretna Green to avoid the hooha of a big wedding, we chose the date based entirely on when City were playing at Carlisle so we could go to the game the day afterwards.
