idiot.

you clearly have never been married if you think its fun. lets see. not sleeping the night before then getting forced through a make up and hair routine that would make the jersey shore girls look natural (despite my objections) standing all day for photos hardly eating hardly drinking and having to pay for everyone else to have fun. yeah it was a ******* blast.

To 141: please, marriages aren't all only about stress like you're implying. My friend slept a good 8 hours, had no make-up on whatsoever (despite what you say no one can force you to wear make up and get your hair done, all you have to do is say no), ate as much as she wanted, and then left when she got tired. Enjoying your wedding is about what attitude you go into it with and what your true goals were (like loving your spouse and being happy to marry them versus only doing it for social expectations or settling). So if you're just overwhelmingly happy and feeling lucky to be getting married, you'll appreciate the day despite the hard-work it entails.

#141, just shut up already. We get it, you're all over the damn comments whining about how much you hate weddings. Guess what? There are lots of people who actually like weddings! Surprise! Nobody cares about how much you hate weddings, now quit using this FML to whine about how stupid weddings are to you.

Oh, and by the way, it is possible to have a quiet, low cost wedding! You can simply go into a courthouse with your future spouse, and you can wear whatever you want to wear, except your birthday suit. Your "points" that you keep making, aren't actually valid. Not all weddings cost a lot, you're not required to dress up nicely, and you can get decent sleep. Also, being late to a wedding is still unacceptable, unless you have a damn good reason to be late. WoW is not a good reason. Sure, the groom showed up, but he caused a lot of unnecessary stress and probably had people panicking and thinking that he had gotten cold feet.

1 i did have a low cost wedding. 2 i did say no and constantly tried to change the make up but it made no difference 3 i am married therefore my opinion is more valid than some rose tinted view the unmarried saps have. once again if the bride was late no one would have batted an eyelid.

I am married as well, and strongly believe you are the reason your wedding didn't work out! With this attitude your marriage ain't gonna last long either..

*you're

why? most people have been together for years before they are married. my happiest moments are nothing to do with the day of my wedding but lots to do with my relationship. the wedding day is shit and boring. life with your SO is what you should be enjoying not that one show off day.

#142 just because you had a bad wedding and marriage doesn't mean everyone else will. Be as bitter as you want but stop projecting. I don't see the big deal with marriage but there's no need to bash those who do.

marriage is great but no different to being in a relationship. weddings are meh and do not deserve to be lauded above all over milestones in a relationship when they were only created as a means of determining which children were legitimate. until marriage stops getting treated as the only valid next step for a couple and is removed from being a lawful contract i will continue to voice my opinion.
