The actual wedding ceremony is almost ignored. Is it really that important for people to have a raucous disco? For want of a better word. For those that may not know. Sikh/Punjabi weddings are somewhat famous for lavish, loud, receptions with copious amounts of alcohol. A facet that goes against the vows that have been taken literally hours before. I have only been to a Sikh, Muslim and Hindu receptions, never the ceremony. And the receptions I remember has having great food and a better atmosphere then most Christian weddings I’ve been to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't go, but a Sikh guy at work showed me his wedding photos and his outfit was the best thing I've ever seen. He looked genuinely incredible.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted June 8, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 8, 2019 I've only been to 2 weddings and disappeared to talk to locals in another bar at both. One was adjoining and had a 'hammer nais into a tree stump' game going on, the other had a bar that wasn't shit just a few doors down. If a party is so great I'd rather do that it says something of the low the levels of enjoyment found at a wedding reception are. But I believe that's part of a bigger thing, organised fun. Like a meticulously planned team building works event a wedding reception is restrained and scheduled fun, which really means everyone sort of enjoys about 20 minutes somewhere through the 6 hours and spends the rest saying how fun it is to try and convince themselves because they believe they should be enjoying it.

You then got one strike attempt, holding the hammer in one hand and not touching the nail, to knock it in flush before passing the hammer on to the next player. Winner is the first to get it fully in and flush. They were all putting money on it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently "She's your sister" should be enough to guilt me into attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) A trip to the dentist, even if it’s just for a check-up. When they’re poking around in your mouth, searching to holes in your teeth with their tools...even if they don’t find one, even if they don’t get that sweet, sweet opportunity to inflict that sudden jolt of pain the constant dread you feel as it happens is horrific. When you’re a child your parents and teachers tell you there’s no reason to fear the dentist. Utter bullshit. As you go through life you realise there are very few places that are worse. Certainly it’s the worst place you visit regularly. Fuck dentists and fuck teeth too for that matter.
