weddings, I refuse to go to them. remind me of 'first holy communion' which traumatized me because the priests and nuns (who were also my teachers) were cruel vicious perverted idiots. weddings trigger the god-awful memories. the narcissism and incestuous overtones (father giving daughter away/mommy dancing with son) disgust my inner core to the point of barf barf barf…infantilism, spoiled brats saying look at me! and the whole “congratulations” thing, congratulations for what, exactly? choosing a mate that looks just like mommy? making grannie proud that you reeled in a true conformist dweeb? yuck.

strangely, I do not mind funerals:)

That happened to my Mom too. She did not want a huge wedding and my Father (and her Mother In-Law) pushed her into paying for a huge wedding and extravagant honeymoon. She installed the same fear into me, her daughter. I never want to have to plan a wedding.

Every time I get invited to a wedding, there’s a little voice inside my head that starts swearing.

You are 100% on the ball. Weddings suck big time. They are boring, they waste perfectly good weekends when you could be doing something fun instead, cost tons of money and are pure torment for most of the guests. Gee, it’s really fun being at this lame dance, in a crappy hotel room, with old ladies trying to dance with toddlers to Barry Manilow music. F***!. Pure Torture. I hate them so much that about 10 years ago I resolved to Never go to another wedding again. Since then I have never been, and I can promise that I will never ever be in a wedding party – EVER!.

Weddings are pure hell

It also sucks to be a groomsmen. our pressured to dance with people you don’t want to. Costs money, dont grudge the gift but the suit etc gets a little bit much. Its just a pain meeting a bunch of people i don’t want to know. Wedding in two days and it sucks!

Totally with you on this one. Fiancee is so wrapped up in this, it is not just the money but the time – there are so many other things you can be doing with it that are way more productive. It has make me question who I have really fallen in love with… Maybe I am not liking the answer to that question. On this issue, our values could not be more different. I would more happily go down the line of something cheap, simple, but fun and give some money to charity. Good, I’ve let off some steam, only have to make it to June 12th then it’s all done… Anyone got any coping strategies until then?

I agree, I think I am the only woman being forced to plan a wedding SHE doesn’t want but HE does. It is nonsense, and those all inclusive packages to keep me from having to plan are too over the top for me. Do you know how much we could save if we just took the honeymoon. Heck, I could afford to fly people out to the “destination wedding” and still have thousands left over.
