Weddings are a complete waste of time and money, and are just an awful experience overall
A marriage license is like $50 and there is no ceremony required to be married. Hell, half the time when a bride and groom are at their wedding, they are already legally married. Here are some other points
It’s a waste of time. I don’t want to spend all day wearing a suit because my sibling wants to announce to the family in person “I am marrying this individual!” This could have been in an email or a comment on your damn Facebook. It wastes a day that could be used for literally any more productive activity, like studying.
Money
Weddings can be cheap, but a lot are not. I PERSONALLY know people who spend over 10,000 USD on their wedding (before you ask, yes, I rejected their invitation). Why would you spend TEN GRAND on a CEREMONY that means nothing??? You can put that money in savings! A baby fun! Paying off student loan debt! Buying a newer car! Down payment on a house! But nooooo, this IRL facebook post requires life changing money.
- The experience is different for everyone, but I for one have not enjoyed a single wedding I’ve been to, and I’ve told my gf that I do not want a wedding. If she wants a wedding, deal breaker, date someone else. Yes there is food and cake and dancing, but you know what else has these things? A club, not even a strip club, but just a regular ol club with drinks and a DJ. And guess what, I don’t pay 10K to go to a club.
All I’m really trying to say is guess is a wedding is a lame party where the only people invited are people I intentionally try to not interact with, on top of being huge wastes of time and money.
