I had a greek mate of mine marry an italian woman. Both families tried to outdo each other in laviousness. It was a bit bonkers
the reception was in some grand stately home, 13 course meal. Roaming peacocks. Violins. The full wedding bullshit. As far as I know both families were middle class suburbanites. The two families together bought the new couple a house and a car.
One year of married bliss later, she had broken his finger in an argument and he told me he keyed down the side of her car outside the Family court where they were getting their divorce.
On an unrelated note, I'm having a party in the park on the weekend and it looks like it's going to piss down, so I looked at a bunch of Wedding marquee hire places. They averaged around 300 for the day for the standard white 3mx6m one, which I couldn't justify. I then looked at another site that was selling an identical model new for 120. I'm buying it and going to hire it out on weekends and undercut the fucking bandits

I presume laviousness meant lavishness
I was kind of hoping it meant lasciviousness and they spent the entire reception touching each other up. Good story, though. And anything that combines the words wedding and hire just trebles the price. When you've made your pile from the marquee, hire a hall and set up a wedding fair. People will pay through the nose just to get through the door.

He said Italians and Greeks. OF COURSE they spent the entire reception touching each other up.

undercut the fucking bandits
but don't forget they are (probably) insured. paying for that,tax, fuel, vehicle and wages probably takes a bit of dollar rather than buying shit for 120 and thinking that's all you need

Don't forget the entertainment licence as well.

It's just a fucking tent
They come around, they give me the cash and deposit. They put it in their car and bring it the fuck back when they're done. There's really no need for a catering budget on my behalf. I'll even type up a sheet that the user accepts liability if tent poles are inserted in the anus

Can't help feeling that a lascivious shag would be a tautology.
