So – a bit of a lighter rant for today.
Weddings.
I am part of a Wedding Shaming group on Facebook and
have also indulged at times going down a rabbit hole of bridezillas and truly
awful pictures. These photos are, in my opinion, true dumpster fires.
I understand when people do not have a lot of money to
spend on a ceremony, and I am not convinced that doing so is a requirement. But
Ye Gods and Little Fishes!!! Did no one tell some of these people to pay
attention to what is in the background? Setting up your wedding arch so that it
perfectly frames the overflowing actual dumpster or port-a-john is just lazy.
Some of my other pet peeves:
· If
you want to serve KFC fine. But take a few moments and place the items into
clear plastic bowls or serving plates. They are very cheap at the Dollar Store
or other places. Just plopping the company packaging on the table is free
advertising for them that they do not need.
· I
do NOT understand certain themes I see time after time in the photos – I find
all of the following disturbing, disgusting, stupid or just inappropriate:
o
Bridal Party showing off automatic weapons
o
Men with their pants around their ankles
o
Brides posed as if they are giving the
groom a blow job
o
The bride wearing a lovely dress and yet
both families wearing whatever they found on the floor that morning. Dirty
shirts, stained clothing, outgrown clothing items, unkempt hair etc.
o
Grooms who it appears to not give a rat’s
behind what they look like that day, or the pictures. The bride has had her
hair done and wears a dress that fits and looks nice. Yet he never removes his
stained ball cap, his shirt is messy-wrinkled and/or stained. It does not
appear that he is even wearing his best jeans or sweat pants. In a lot of these
photos he looks like a homeless person she picked up 30 minutes before.
o
The pictures that seem to celebrate just
how drunk the attendees, and the wedding party, could get.
I would love to see the statistics on how many of
these couples were still married after 5 years.
And in a perfect world (aka MY version of the world) couples would spend less
money and time planning a six hour event and instead use that time planning for
a successful MARRIAGE – and not just be focused on the wedding.
But that is just me I suppose.
