I was invited to my friends wedding, shes marryin a rich fella so I thought i was gonna be a really good do, which it was till we got to the evening do. I expected a full on disco, dads and grandmas gettin up to do the YMCA and the birdie dance, but no, Ive never seen anything like it, honestly, they had a band singing crap songs ive never heard of, I even asked them if they could do a competant rendition of 'Come on Eilleen' they looked at me like i was stupid! I sat in my chair all bloody night waiting for at least a bit of 'Black Lace' but no, the selfish tight fisted sods gave me nothing. self self self, thats all they think about, what about me? Should i ask for the present back? Its a green bread bin from argos, cost me £8.99

Was almost sure you were joking, then I knew for certain when you mentioned Black Lace ! But just to answer your question, no, You shouldn't ask for your present back. If I was given a green bread bin, I would give it to a charity shop. I've been to worse weddings, especially the one where the reception was in a dingy pub, no wedding cake or food and we had to buy our own drinks and crisps from the bar. The "happy couple" decided they didn't want to spend a penny more than they had to, even though they had the money. There wasn't even a jukebox, no music at all.I even offered to do the catering, but they said it was all taken care of.Yeah, crisps in two flavours. I gave a present of £100 which I couldn't afford at the time....but had to make the effort since it was my brother's wedding !! PS...and I took the photos with my ancient little camera !

You're not very good at being a friend are you? This is how it is done: Since the present is not worth having, do not ask for it back, but act all high and mighty about your good deed and the lack of reciprocation (this might take a lot of effort on your part; some people are a bit slow to get the message). Get drunk and spoil the event for everyone. The following day go on at great length about how great the do was, and how lovely the bread bin is. This is what being a friend is all about.

Disgusting, Who do they think they are?
Get that bread bin back, they wont appreciate a glorious present like that anyway.
From now on before attending any weddings, tell the Bride and groom that you will arrange the entertainment, spare no expense. They are paying for it.
And for your help you shouldn't have to fork out for a present. Just you being there would be a gift of a life time.

The only thing you can do is drag their selfish ar5es onto the Trisha show - she'll give them what for...
It helps to get on the tV if you sleep with one of them first - I don't think it matters which one.
I think I've been to a do with that band playing - did they all have these funny looking guitars that they tried to play by scraping the strings with a stick and made a noise like tortured cats?

Yea, sounds pretty boring. At least you got a meal out of it. I went to a wedding once in malta and there was just finger food, I was so hungry that Id to get pizza afterwards, and there were no chairs at the wedding, Id to stand around all night in heels listening to some guy playing violin, no band. Pretty bad.

What? I bet they didn't even do Agadoo, either. What a ripoff. I'd get that bread bin back pronto, and tell them they can stick invitations to the Christening in six month's time right where the sun don't shine. Boy. Some people.

Obviously you're not really serious, but it does remind me of a friend's wedding. His family was loaded - mum a hospital consultant, dad a company managing director - so we thought it would be a good bash. But we got to the end of the meal and it was "Thanks for coming and goodnight". I was on the train home by 6pm! What a bunch of tightwads!
AND he told me "we're getting everyone to bring their cameras rather than hire an official photographer", then when I get there I'm meeting the bride's family and they ask me "so, you're the photographer, are you?" I mean, I have a decent camera, but I'm no Patrick Litchfield - and it would have been nice to be warned what I was going to be expected to do!

you should sneak into their house take a crap in the bread bin and leave a note explaining your disappointment at the lack of black lace etc at their weddings evening do!
