Supposedly At An Irish Wedding Reception


Subdeacon Joe

Recommended Posts

I was taught that only the bride wore white.

 

That should make the girl to her right, sitting in the guy's lap, the bride. Hopefully the guy she's sitting on is the groom.

 

Now why the heck would the bride and groom still be at a party, at five in the morning, on their wedding night?

 

Didn't have anything better to do than sing and drink?

Here... watch it again and sing along!  ^_^  :lol:

 

Bog Down in the Valley

 

O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o
O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o

And in that bog there was a tree, a rare tree, a rattlin' tree
With the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Now on that tree there was a limb, a rare limb, a rattlin' limb
With the limb on the tree and the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Now on that limb there was a branch, a rare branch, a rattlin' branch
With the branch on the limb and the limb on the tree and the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o.

 

(Repeat, adding a line each time)


Now on that branch there was a twig, a rare twig, a rattlin' twig.....

Now on that twig there was a nest, a rare nest, a rattlin' nest.....

Now in that nest there was an egg , a rare egg, a rattlin' egg.....

Now in that egg there was a bird, a rare bird, a rattlin' bird.....

Now on that bird there was a feather, a rare feather, a rattlin' feather .....

Now on that feather there was a flea, a rare flea, a rattlin' flea .....

I am amazed her diction was so precise, her wording so clear ... with that length of a recitation I would get all kind of confused even if I'd had a good night's sleep the night before and this wasn't at such an unholy hour!

Error?

 

I started out suggesting that the attractive blonde was not singing the song; there were several spots where her mouth stopped moving (like when she took a drink) but the singing continued; my thought was that she was singing along with a recording.  But listening a second time, I could not be certain, so I removed the message.

Nice little lap dance, hey?

They have their whole lives in front of them.  One night of party and making merry with friends and blood kin will not take away from that.  And think of the memories they built.  Even if just this one song. 

 

I'm on my second marriage (7 years for the first, 27 1/2 now on this, my last), and on both wedding nights, after all the goings on during the day, we were both too exhausted to do much more than shower together and cuddle.  

 

Did you notice the presumed groom holding up the glass so the singer could take a sip of water (or whatever)?

Ah!  Play it again.  When she takes that sip her voice drops out, but the others keep singing.

I was at a wedding of a cousin in County Mayo a few years back.  I left the reception at 10pm to go to bed.  When I woke up, I got ready to leave for my next destination, loaded the car, and took my family down to the restaurant to eat breakfast at 8 am.  There were still 40 people in the reception hall at the hotel for the wedding reception.

Nope. Ran out of Guinness and Irish Whiskey. :lol: 

And then, the country's economy collapsed.;)

Looks more Dutch than Irish.

 

No Irishman would have Heineken bottles laying around.

Reminded me of family parties on my Mother's side. Everyone played an instrument and sang.

Miss those days and the get-togethers.
