Have things got ridiculously out of hand when it comes to hen/stag nights, weddings, etc.?
Call me an old misery, but it seems to me that people are going to ridiculous lengths to out do each other these days. Our best friends daughter and her boyfiend, have been invited to a wedding in Rhodes. It'd cost them a minimum of £1000 each to go, money they can't afford because they're saving up to buy a house, so they've had to decline. The b/f was supposed to be the best man. The couple in question have been living together for ages and have 2 kids.
No one just goes out for the evening for the hen/stag do, they have to go somewhere, and it's usually for a minimum of a long weekend, and apparently the guests have to pay for the hen or stag!
OK, I admit, I'm not one for big weddings, but if you can't afford it, and get yourself in to debt to do it, is it worth it?
I've always told the Coglet if he decides to elope, we won't mind in the least
