No, is it not normal? I can't remember although I was at one a month ago, luckily I've got 4 more coming up so that's plenty of chances to remember the etiquette. But most people tend to be reasonably loquacious at these things anyway (must be the vino) - just don't start talking about what your house is worth!!is it very clingy to want to sit beside your husband at a table of people you don't know?
Surely the "etiquette" is simply to make conversation and go with the flow? Hardly rocket science. On the other hand maybe some people secrete cue cards and speaking notes about their person in case of an emergency or something?Glenbhoy said:I've got 4 more coming up so that's plenty of chances to remember the etiquette.
Yeah, you'd think would'nt you - nah, it's them bloody knives/forks/spoons etc and trying to figure out why people serve terrine's of anything!!ClubMan said:Surely the "etiquette" is simply to make conversation and go with the flow? Hardly rocket science.
My (now) sister in law got married at the weekend. Her sister/my wife was bridesmaid so sat at the main table with the couple, parents etc. while I was relegated to the benches. Didn't really bother me.nelly said:agree with deem, why would folks split couples up?

Why not decline invitations to weddings if they are such an onerous burden for you both?Glenbhoy said:As for 4 more to look forward too, it's just too much - bit of a financial hit too, at least only one of them involves a stag night too.
Bit of an exaggeration surely?nelly said:Its alright to say, go with the flow, make conversation but if you are shy, nervous etc it can be like being nailed to the cross
I can't recall stating that they're an onerous burden on both of us - compromise being the key to most good relationships (the brownie point system)! In truth, I don't mind them on occasion, but by November I'll have had 7 in the last 12 months.Originally Posted by Clubman

Sounded onerous for you too:Bamhan said:but I always get a migraine and find the day long and often tiresome.
