The PERFECT excuse for getting out of boring weddings…

The PERFECT excuse for getting out of boring weddings…

With the wedding season three or four months away, suddenly a hell of a lot of invitations are popping into heatworld’s letterbox (yes, we officially have friends. Who knew?!). But for every big day we’re looking forward to, there are at least two second cousins six times removeds’ nuptials that fill us with dread. Therefore, for the first (and probably last) time ever, we wish we were Lionel Richie. He has the perfect excuse for getting out of weddings – he’s just too, too famous, so the whole day suddenly becomes about him. “I keep telling my friends: 'You don't want me at the wedding, and you certainly don't want me at the reception.',” he explains. “They don't understand what I'm talking about until they get the photo album back. Here's what you see: The bride and groom at the altar...and leaving the church. From then on, it's Lionel Richie with the bridesmaids. It's Lionel Richie with the groomsmen...You'd think that I got married. The poor groom is in nothing.” That’s one hell of an ego he’s got talking there, but we have to admit, those quotes did make us laugh. And he has got a point – we totally want Lionel in our wedding pictures… or, at the very least, Verne Troyer dressed up as him and crooning Endless Love. Which celebrity would you like to crash your wedding?

This is random, but funny
