A Word About Weddings

Summer has always seemed to be the traditional wedding season, in fact a lot of people will plan their entire summer around the multiple weddings they are invited to ( or assume they're invited to) I for one am glad that I'm not one of those people that insist on scoring an ivitation to every single wedding of someone they may or may not know that well. I mean don't get me wrong, weddings can be great, if it's somebody you truly care about that's getting married. But I wonder why some people need to be at weddings when they don't even know the people getting married that well.

I also think that when people are plannig their wedding, couples tend to give in to what their families want, as opposed to what they want. And the excuse they use....."they're paying for it". You know what? It's the 21st century, most people these days are not getting married until they are in their mid to late twenties or even their 30's, meaning they have been out in the real world for quite some time earning their own money......so pay for your own damn wedding and quit whining that you didn't get what you wanted. Sorry....I have just heard too many people complaining about their own wedidng and how they are not getting anything they had originally planned because their family took over. Ahem, aren't the two of you supposed to be starting a life "together"? So shouldn't you be able to stand up together and grow a set and tell your families what you really want? And if your plans are going to be so horrific to them, I guess that's too bad.

The more plans you make for a wedding the more that WILL go wrong, notice I said will and not can, things will inevitably go wrong, it's Murphy's Law. All anyone can hope for is that the things that go wrong are minor and won't have a major effect on their day. It's kind of funny to watch people totally flip out over some minor thing not working out exactly as planned, knowing that after all is said and done they are going to feel like the biggest idiot for the way they acted. I think it helps to see weddings from a differnet prespective, like from the outside looking in, it helps you to see what is really impoortant and what should really matter.

I guess the purpose of this little rant was just to relieve the tension I am feeling. I'm in a wedding party this coming weekend, and I have been there and observed the planning process that the couple has gone through, and they have done their fair share of complaining and freaking out about it all. So I guess I'm just really really hoping that everything will go well this weekend without too much drama I'll likely post again next week to let you all know how things went, looks like good weather is in store, so that is a start at least.

Catch you later!!
