She said: “Here in Ireland the bride pays. I’ve been in five weddings in the US and had to pay for my dress, shoes, hair, makeup, etc. But that doesn’t seem to be done here.”

Others disagreed and said bridesmaids should pay for their own dresses as brides already face demanding bills and huge stress over their big day.

One said: “My sister in law is having eight bridesmaids we are paying for our own dresses.”

Another said: “My bridesmaids are buying their own dresses as I just told them the colour of the dress and they pick the one they love, they show me.”

She joked: “I don’t want three flower vases as bridesmaids.”

CONSUMMATING WEDDING VOWS

Meanwhile, newlyweds are all saying the same thing after a curious bride-to-be posed an intimate wedding night question.

The anonymous bride wondered if couples preparing for their wedding day planned to consummate their vows on the night.

And many of the respondents had the exact same response to her query.

On the same Facebook page, the bride’s question was: “Do any of you brides actually plan on consummating your wedding on your wedding night?

‘I PLAN ON SLEEPING’

“I have my mum in the next room and my sisters on the other side,
I asked my hubby to be and he replied babe (you will probably) wake up in (your) dress, 19 years together and he never fails to shock me.”

The questions attracted similar responses, with one user writing: “I plan on sleeping…

“We’ve talked about it and said listen, it’s gonna be a long day so if we don’t do it on our wedding night, we’ll do it the next morning.”

Another said: “I told my fiancé if we don’t, we’re getting an annulment. But in reality we’ll probably both just pass out.”

Many explained that due to the fact the day itself is an incredibly long affair, sleep is often the only appealing option, with one saying: “We went to bed at half five in the morning in our clothes..so no!”
