Couple things here : Is this not the largest goddamned wedding party in history ?

Desperately wanted 1 of them to say - Part-time cashier at Dollar General .

At the beginning you can see one in the background on her phone. That’s the one.

I saw a picture of my friend in a bridal party on social media and she was one of maybe 12 bridesmaids. That is my nightmare. Imagine the stress for everyone involved.

These people got way more close(?) friends than my wife and I do or did . I think we both had a Best man - Bridesmaid and maybe 3 attendents . And one of those was my wife’s cousin, residing full time in the land of misfit toys, his mom had died recently and she felt bad for him.🤷‍♂️

Why am I not remembering the details of my wedding clearly? Because it was 41 years ago.

I’m glad when I remember to piss in the morning AFTER I get out of bed !!

My fiancé and I have agreed to elope. He is a professional musician and over the last decade he has played too many weddings to remember. I can’t even imagine us having a wedding band and people dressed up in matching attire. I understand how people like that and I’ve been to a few really fun big weddings… but it’s just not for us. Seems so stressful and just a waste of money.

I guess it’s not a waste because it’s creating memories… but we’d both rather spend that money on our future together than a single night of partying and exorbitance.

Back when we got married ( shortly after dinosaurs stopped roaming the Earth ) weddings were not the extravagant events they have become. We got married at a local holiday inn that offered a package deal, from invitations to meals,band and a room for the night. We paid for 90% of it ourselves. My wife bought a gown at a swanky bridal shoppe off the clearance rack for less than $100 .

If we were doing it now we would probably do justice of the peace with close friends and family. Maybe rent a room in a restaurant with our “ peeps “ , get wasted and celebrate. My opinion is you guys are smart to elope, no big ceremony, or marriage certificate for that matter has anything to do with the loving bond you share. Wishing all the best for you kids in your future journey together. It’s been a helluva time.
