Dress for a very, very posh English wedding?! HELP?!?!?!?

A wedding guest, a friend of bride, he was a German, was walking around dressed as Hitler - he donned a fake stash and eyebrows at the tacky reception!

At first I assumed he was being Charlie Chaplin, but then he began saying, "Heil Hitler." It went on for hours. No one seemed to mind.

I said something, and it got back to the b*tch-bride, and she came over and said, "Don't be offended. You shouldn't be offended. He's just having a laugh."

What...I just...I don't even.... what?? So the bride is racist, anti immigrant, and possibly pro-Nazi? (I know that's an exaggeration, but I think I'm still in shock.)

WHAT. A. HORRID. WEDDING.

Really... And, NOT what I would consider even close to POSH.

It was tacky.

No one asked him to leave, or even take it off...

And if the German did that in his own country, he'd have been arrested. They don't take that lightly there.

There was BIG DIFFERENCE between *HER* friends, and some of his friends... And she sat us at a table full of her friends - None of his friends were sat together... It would have been nice to meet my new husbands friends...

OK, it gets worse... She broke couples up for the table seating - She sat me ACROSS THE TABLE between two early 30-ish, total playboy, club type guys... Total Chelsea scene... From CORK. So, I may as well been next to two Chinese men, because we could NOT understand each other at all... And, they HIT ON ME. It sucked. I wanted to be with my husband. Not those assholes.

And she sat my NEW HUSBAND (married April 13th, so, very new) between two half naked, Chelsea party girls, in their late 20's, both in micro-mini dresses with tons of make-up on...

So, I totally MOVED MY SEAT.

The lodging she set up? Twin beds.
Over 300 pounds and we got twin beds - because she did not bother to assign rooms and the single girls (again, her friends) decided to shack up in the double bed suits.
And, the house was full of flies because the people staying there are used to maids and left the doors open and food out.

My shoes were ruined because we had to walk through GRAVEL, uphill, for about ten minutes, to get the bus to the wedding, (where 3 dogs were in attendance in the church), more gravel for the bus to the reception, UP HILL again, and yet more gravel if one needed the toilet... And for the reception, women were FALLING because their heels were getting caught in the woven matting she chose for flooring...

They used an ipod, rather than a DJ, the band was horrid - just some locals.

The food was horrid.

She spend ALL HER MONEY ON HER DRESS.

OK, it gets WORSE... You will NOT believe this...

After the reception, (and the Hitler experience) they had busses there, to take us all back to the hotel... When we got there, WE WERE ALL CHARGED 10 POUNDS FOR THE FIVE MINUTE RIDE!!!!!!!!

We had to pay for our ride from the party back to the hotel.

Then, just when we thought all the tacky sh*t was OVER, one of her friends decided to knock, and vomit, on our window at 4am... She was locked out.

POSH?

I THINK NOT.

Oh LaraMascara, how absolutely horrible!  Didn't I say back in my first post about this that she sounds racist?  I was at a fancy dress party and one of our acquaintances came as a Nazi soldier and I was horrified.  I can't even imagine how you felt at this wedding.  At least it's over. 

 

SHE AIN'T GOT NO COOT!!!

Oh my goodness!! Not even my ghetto fabulous side of the family would be THAT horrid!  What did your DH say??

Her pish posh is tish tosh, I say.  Talk about winning at Bridezilla.  That just takes the cake. How absolutely selfish.  I seriously hope you don't have to deal with her again.  I wouldn't care who her husband is, that's just wrong and you shouldn't have to ever see her face again.  That was a total insult as well to separate couples.

Goes to show you money can't buy class.  I'd rather hang with the Jersey Shore crowd.

Forgive me if I missed this at the beginning of the thread, but since the groom is your husband's friend, are you going to have to socialise with this woman in the future?

Also, regardless of how nice the groom may seem, I have to wonder about someone who would choose to marry a woman like that. Either he agrees with some of her values, or he is marrying her for money/status, which is bad in its own way.

Ahhhh... The groom: Drunk - ALWAYS DRUNK - Day and night, fat, and he has a lot more money than she does.

He could NEVER get a woman who looked like her... and she is NOT that hot - He is just that drunk. And unattractive.

So, my hubby said, "Well, he could have gone either way, and now he has met her, and he is just gone..."

Mu husband hates her. So, we will not be spending time with them, no...

THE CAKE IN THE FACE THING IS SOMETHING THAT REALLY TACKY AMERICAN GROOMS DO TO THEIR BRIDE!!!!
They feed the bride the 1st bite of cake, and then mush some with their hand on their mouth - not all over he dress.

 

I don't care for the cake-in-the-face thing at all.  If my ex would have done that to me, the marriage would have ended right there.

They sound like they could have their own reality show.

I concur.  It seems so disrespectful.

Wow - I can't imagine how any wedding could be more tacky and cheap!  Just hope you can laugh about it in years to come!

I recently watched the special "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" about the ridiculous, over the top Irish traveller weddings.  I think I would take that over what you've described, LaraMascara.

I'm obsessed with that show!  I'd love to go to a travellers wedding!

The people at the wedding LaraMascara went to remind me of the people who go to the races here in York. They start out in their nicest clothes and end up barefoot and stumbling, loud, drunk and disgusting, around the streets of York.

I'm coming late to the thread, so it was interesting to read the whole thing at once.  I'm blown away at how bad this turned out to be!  Thanks heavens you didn't have to do three nights.  I could be wrong, but she sounds like the classic stereotype of "new money" trying to be all flashy, but bitchy and rude underneath.  Most who I've know who are from more upper-class backgrounds go out of their way to try to be considerate and proper for this kind of event.  I've NEVER been to a wedding where I was split up from my partner--and that was just the tip of things from the sounds of it.  What a lousy experience!

LaraMascara, isn't UKY great for this kind of stuff though?  I know they helped me so much when I was going to my first UK wedding.  I was in a panic because I was pregnant, I'm 5'11", and slightly on the plus-size and wanted something with sleeves--a lethal combination if ever there was.  Everyone here got me looking and helped me find the perfect dress (which funnily enough, I've had two other friends who are pregnant ask if they could borrow for weddings they had to go to).  My friends' wedding was fairly casual, but it sounds like it ended up being a world classier than the posh one you attended
