Resolved: Weddings are insufferable.
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 15th, 2017 10:14 AM Author: Citrine coffee pot Yes it is because I am aspie and an introvert but a few observations:
-It takes the entire weekend if I have to travel. I don't have much free time and like to spend it doing things I enjoy.
-they are expensive for guests to attend with hotel
-the forced reunion of some people i haven't seen in years is not enjoyable anymore. It was once when I was younger but not anymore.
-the speeches are far too long and too many. They have gotten out of control.
-sometjmes I just don't want to dance because it looks ridiculous
-they last the whole day which is a long time for a social event. Longer if you include pre- and post- activities
-there is a lot of showIng off, by both bride/groom and guests
-the concept of a wedding party is ridiculous
I am genuinely happy for the bride and groom and don't mind sending them a reasonable gift. Just don't want to spend the weekend with their friends. |

Date: October 15th, 2017 10:19 AM Author: Citrine coffee pot Felt like groom/bride would be offended if I didn't or something because we were closer friends once upon a time. Also just thought I was being unreasonable and too aspie in not wanting to go and I should suck it up and have a good time.

Date: October 15th, 2017 10:19 AM Author: aggressive corner therapy Yes, fuck people and their unreasonable insistence that I interrupt my great works to pay homage to this outmoded convention. It is notable that the scope and scale of weddings, and the resulting burdens borne by friends, have only expanded as the institution of marriage has weakened. Why should I donate so many of the precious minutes of my life to help desperate thirtysomething airheads erect a puff-tent fantasy?

Date: October 15th, 2017 11:33 AM Author: spruce community account market I agree. Used to enjoy weddings. Im fortunate to have a pretty tight group of HS friends so i dont really benefit from the reunion aspect.
Weddings are inconvenient, expensive and uncomfortable. I really dont feel like hanging out in a suit on the weekend. The structure of the party is formulaic and forced from the lame entrance dances for the wedding party to the unnecessary speeches.
Cocktail hour is literally the only part i genuinely enjoy. I can drink and stuff my face without being forced to watch some retarded ceremony.

Yes, it's annoying for you to shell out $1,000 for travel to travel to your hometown, stay in a hotel, and waste your own weekend. But also remember that had you not gone to the big city to chase your dreams or some shit, you could've been one of the people who watched college football all day, went to the bar with friends before the ceremony, walked across the street to the church at 3 pm, gotten a free meal and free booze, hung out with your friends, and been home in your own bed by 11.
