I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. I hate going to weddings. Especially ones where I basically don’t know anyone.

It’s just full of socially awkward small talk I don’t care for, with people I’ll never speak to again in my life. What’s the point?

@EighthLayer Can't stand weddings, especially when I have to go for dinner and it's weird poncy food I don't like.

Then as you say, the awkward social stuff comes in.

@UKFilmNerd I have no idea what the food is going to be so I’m betting on it being the poncy crap. Just give me a burger and chips. 😂

@EighthLayer @UKFilmNerd my brother's wedding last year was alright. We got these absolutely huge bread rolls and a bucket load of beef and chips and sauces.

Simple but effective. I ate too much and then didn't want to run around after the kids anymore....but it was worth it.

@danielholt @UKFilmNerd That sounds great! Simple food is what most people want at these things.

@EighthLayer It wasn't a wedding but the best food I ever had was an anniversary I think. A huge, shallow silver bowl, maybe 1.5m in diameter, filled with chips and cut up sausage. The proper stuff from a fish & chip shop. You picked up a paper cone and helped yourself. I didn't stray far from the bowel and felt incredibly full up for some reason...

@UKFilmNerd I’m be so down for that!

At mine and my wife’s wedding, we had a BBQ that you could help yourself too. People said they really enjoyed that compared to what you’d normally get.

@UKFilmNerd @EighthLayer “Croquettes dressed with delicious dashes of cress”
So, fried potatoes with some fucking grass on the top? Great, can’t wait

@harrybo93 @UKFilmNerd If I see a menu like that, I don’t want to eat there. 😂

@EighthLayer cake! 🎂

EighthLayer,
@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

@thegamerstavern I’d say yay, but I could buy cake from the shop. 😂

@thegamerstavern@mstdn.games avatar

@EighthLayer and you'll probably spend less, fair enough

Edit: I would also have accepted the fact that the cake is a lie

@thegamerstavern This was a triumph! I'm making a note here; "Huge success".

@EighthLayer I have had to go to a few for my wife's friends. They are always so awkward. Events like that make me really wish that devices like the Steam Deck were more socially acceptable. Unfortunately you'll just look like a jerk gaming the whole time, but scrolling on your phone and ignoring most people is fine for some reason.

@natejung This is basically it. It’s the wedding of one of my wife’s friends that I met a handful of times.

Might try and sneak my Miyoo Mini Plus. 😂
