Anybody who doesn´t like weddings?

Post Reply New Topic

I've always liked weddings (maybe I've just been lucky and hit some cool weddings)
I like to get dressed up, I like to drink a little, I like to dance on a packed dancefloor without getting groped by skeevy club dudes
And I like getting to hang out with my family / troll the new spouses family for dance partners

Also weddings are pretty scripted interaction wise, very easy to be social

I went to my cousin's wedding one year ago. The church moment was ok, the problem began in the wedding reception, I had to socialize with old classmates from school I never had a friendship with. I tried it, approaching them, smiling and asking about their lives (not really interested but it is what people do), but they didn't react (they were a bunch of bullies at school so I was not surprised). At midnight all the guests were talking in small groups, laughing and dancing and I was on a table with the only company of a glass of wine. I decided to leave the place until the end of the wedding. It was the countryside so I sat on an abandoned tractor during half an hour. I lost a lot of money in a expensive gift and I was drinking on a tractor!! !

No, I don't like weddings, it's a big expensive and egoistical party. A real wedding only lasts half an hour. And I don't know why unemployed people or underemployed people have to give a lot of money or expensive presents to a happy couple without financial problems, because you know, if you spend a lot of money in a big wedding, you don't have financial problems

I'm just glad that barring something tragic like a death in the family, I'm pretty much done with weddings. All my close family members are married so I don't have to go to anymore family weddings and I don't have good enough friends that I would lose sleep over skipping their weddings either. I have no reason to believe I'll ever get married so it looks like I'm done.
