Clinking glasses for couple to kiss

climbingsingle

Does anyone else fucking hate this? I keep joking to FI that I'm going to carry around a bag of marbles and whoever clinks a glass is getting one chucked at their head. I don't want to do it. If this happens at our wedding (I totally have aunts that will do this. I know it), can I just pretend I don't hear it? Maybe instead I can smack FI on the tush each time and people will get the hint.

I'm planning to ignore it if anyone does it at my wedding, but I'm also having my reception at a restaurant which will be open to the public (reserving the upstairs room) and I'm thinking my family will be classy enough to not be obnoxious.

We plan to ignore it when it happens. Just not our thing.

Me! So stupid and annoying. I might have to steal your marble idea.

I don't hate it once. 

After that, I get the urge to exchange those marbles you were talking about for bricks and throw.

People clinked their glasses at my wedding once. DH planted one on me that made people uncomfortable, and that was the end of glass clinking.

I hate this, too. My ex-H and I went along with it at my first wedding and it was really annoying. There isn't a chance in hell I'm doing it this time. I'm just going to ignore it.

It drives me nuts...especially when it's every. five.minutes.   No friggin wonder they say you don't get to eat much.

We let it happen once.  It was cute that. one. time.  When people tried it a second time, and purposefully caught DH and me with our mouths full, we rubbed noses instead of kissing.  It didn't happen again, and I think the second time our not rising to the occasion was a subtle way of reminding people that PDA is not our thing.

I'm all for pretending it's not happening, but I'd also throw in a pitch for non-kisses a time or two - high five, fistbump, something that gives the message that you aren't going to give in to the clinking.

I'll be okay with it the first time it happens but if someone does it a second time, that shit's getting ignored. Love the marble idea!

I hate it. It happened once after we were announced and before the toasts. That was it. My family is not into it over all. Basically there's one random guest who does it and then we move on the important stuff like eating and drinking and dancing and having actual fun.

My origianl plan was as soon as glass clinking started to climb onto FI's lap and give the biggest wettest kiss I could manage, with groping. So much groping. Then FI pointed out that might encourage some people.

New plan is to ignore it if it happens. Or clink right along with them. I'm not a trained seal. I don't do tricks on command. And it's kind of weird you're insisting on making us kiss. We just got married, can't you believe we love each other without seeing proof?

Uhhg. Like others, I didn't mind the first two times, after that it's like really? Do yall want us to make out in front of you while were at it? I am trying to stuff my face here!!!

Stealing the high five and fistbump things. Totally doing that instead of kissing upon clinkage.

Yeah not a fan.

You could always go the pinterest route with a classy poem:

"Don't click your glass,

or I'll beat your ass."

I find it annoying too I may have to steal the marble idea from you!

KatieinBkln

If it happens more than once, I will start licking FI's face as awkwardly as possible, while making eye contact with the offending clink-er. Should work, right?

Do we put that on burlap or on a chalkboard?

I'd place it next to the money tree.

Shit no. The bride wears it around her neck so people are sure to see it and then they can pin money to it during the dollar dance. It's all about being economical and letting things serve double duty. Burlap is GREAT for pinning!

I don't mind it as long as it isn't constant. Who came up with this idea, anyway? If it does get obnoxious we'll steal the high five idea. We'll just high five while continuing to stuff our faces. I am going to eat all the things, dammit!

SapphireCounselor

Eh, it is annoying but once or twice is okay with me. It doesn't really bother me, but does make me roll my eyes if it happens over and over again.

Of course I hate it. I hate most everything.

My partner wants to make silly "So you're going to sit through a wedding" programs for the wedding, and if we do, it'll say something along the lines of:

Will you kiss if I clink my glass?

We will not. J doesn't care for the tradition, and phira wasn't even aware that it was a thing. We're sure we'll kiss plenty!
