Jeeeez, a wedding lunch after the wedding? What happened to the newly married couple vanishing for a few days/weeks the day after their wedding for some sexy-fun time together? XD

For bridemaids fittings we had 1, that was to measure them... the lady made up the dresses and I picked them up the week before the wedding. Gave them to the girls who tried them on 2 days before the wedding... luckily they fitting!

Hens night, both my bridemaids couldn't make it! Which was fine, I was 6 months pregnant and not really in for a huge night anyway...

I guess though, each to their own. Everyone has a different wedding day and wants to celebrate it in a different way and share/remember different things... it's just unfortunate for those of us who are not the bride/groom! I would be a bit peeved too, but just keep in mind that it will all be over eventually
