Re: Going to a Wedding
Just wear long trousers and a shirt. How much you give depends on the people, $10 or $20 should be fine, usually there's someone near the entrance with a book who takes and counts the envelopes. When you are dancing try to keep your filthy hands off the bride.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Going to a Wedding
You have to wear a tuxedo, and top hat!
No, go casual but be warned you will have to probably be subjected to cans of warm beer topped up with suspect cheap ice (not the drug unless it's a taxi girl wedding) You might get offered the rice wine fresh from being fermented in a lead vat or a pastis if they've splashed out. Either could make you wobbly drunk or blind. Food could be really good or really bad depending on the price they pay to caterers. I've had more next mornings stuck on the toilet from parties like this than street food here! If the food has been festering for more than an hour or big assed flies around it, avoid! The DJ will most likely be some retard that doesn't really understand what a volume knob does until the end of the party when all around are sleeping and the dancing almost finished and he experiments until the speakers are giving distorted screeches and belching, then turns it up a further 10%. The babies sitting near the speakers is where they start the rest of the life with hearing damage so end up in life with a gift that they can sleep with a bike horn in one ear and barking dog in another and not be disturbed from peaceful slumber. You will be dragged onto the dance floor and made to copy the hand-wringing method to the amusement of ladies with an inch of white makeup on their face, so when they smile their face cracks and hair that naturally looks good in the day but now all screwed up in a big knot on top of the head in the name of tradition. You'll probably see the most respected people around the commune and the big police all drunk to the point of pissing their pants and then getting in their vehicles and driving home 100mts.
So that all the good points I can think of, put $10 or $20 depending how well you know the bride n groom and enjoy!

Agreed with others, collared shirt and pants.
Cambodian weddings can be great fun, depending on which table you get stuck at. Food can be hit or miss, and it's a really big hit or a really big miss.

Re: Going to a Wedding
You will have a great time at the first one.
The second one will start okay but then you will find yourself becoming increasingly annoyed at the fucktards permanently "jul moi"-ing you.
The third one will suck.
You won't attend the fourth one because your buffalo is sick.

Good advice, I like how you used the word ''try''.John Bingham wrote: When you are dancing try to keep your filthy hands off the bride.
So Jamie, as long as you try your best it doesn't matter if your hands ''accidentally'' slip.

Re: Going to a Wedding
im good friends with the bride, and and i should know a lot of people that are going so will be a pretty easy one for a break me in, and ive been to enough parties in town and out in the boonies to know all the "social" side, i kind of enjoy it lol ive not made it to any previous weddings before due to me being out of town at the time, so was wondering about the dress code etc, i can imagine it being quite a smart affair and i know most will be dressing up for the occasion
i also brought the subject up for any ers/posters that might end up going to their first wedding too...
