Tell Me Something............Anything!

I wish now I had never mentioned weddings or funerals! :doh:

The religious observances do nothing for me, but I do enjoy the reception or wake. If the venue is nearby I'll use a taxi, if further away I'll book a hotel room. That way I can enjoy a drink or three.

Blimey. If I didn't know you'd written that I'd have put it down to macca. It sounds just like sonething he's say. :)

If you're Catholic the actual wedding goes on for so long that it doesn't matter how crap the do is afterwards it still comes as a blessed relief. In fact if the do involved being locked in a bamboo cage and prodded with sharp sticks by Viet Cong guerrillas it would still be an improvement by comparison.

The wedding I attended was Catholic - the Order of Service covered four sides of A5 paper. I found it fascinating from an anthropological point of view.

You got off lightly mate. Worst I went to was two and a half hours long. Of course they prepare you for it at Catholic school. End of term School Mass would be a good 3 hours. It would take an hour just for everyone to take Communion. But even so it's a killer.

Rather do time

That's pretty standard. How many hymns were there?

The actual wedding service and mass (if it's Catholic) is bit I enjoy most, as it's what I'm used to. If the reception afterwards is full of folk I know well, and have things in common with, then I'll enjoy that, too. Otherwise, no!

Interesting... As a practicing Catholic since birth, that's completely alien to me. A standard Sunday mass is over within an hour, and no mass I attended at school was any longer. The longest mass in the current Catholic calendar is the one on Holy Thursday, during Lent, which is a good 2 hours long, but I've never been to a 3-hour mass in my life.

You must've had some right doddery old priests!
