I kind of just want to apply for the wedding license at the courthouse and call it a day. My cousin and her husband did just that, got married at the courthouse and then we just all had a big family dinner.

 

I put a lot of thought into that one!

 

My dad and stepmom did that and it was really nice and simple and perfect for them. Do it! A lot of courthouses are really nice too.

 

My BFF's Pinterest board for her wedding is ridic. We have always been polar opposites. Her parents are rich so that's the only way I can see her having the kind of wedding she wants. Or I guess if the guy has a lot of money. I dunno. I get anxiety every time she shows me something new she added and then she starts showing me maid of honor shit and I'm like..I'm tappin' out. I can't breathe. She says she'll cry if I don't accept and I have been telling her for years to prepare herself bc being the MOH is brutal, expensive, and hard work. NO THANK YOU.

 

I've never been a big fan of pomp and ceremony, so I hope my future husband's family would be okay with that.

 

My best friend is getting to the "I think I'm gonna propose" level with his girlfriend. I straight up told him, "I will be your best man, but if you could wait until I have more money in the bank, that would be awesome." He's obliging.

 

I'm the exact same. I'd love a small casual backyard wedding with some bomb catered Mexican food and an after party at a theme park for guests that wanna join and hang out. idc what it looks like really.

 

At our wedding I walked out to the the Game of Thrones theme song and my wife walked out The Only Exception by Paramore, both played on piano. It was pretty cool

 

I also think I inherited my mom's disdain for pomp and ceremony because my dad is superstitious and still thinks saying phrases a certain way is inherently unlucky and my mom hates all that. (She also hates when he insists on plating everything during dinner instead of putting it all in tupperware to save on dishwashing.)

 

Don't think I ever wanna get married, it just doesn't interest me

 

I don't think you paid attention to most Game of Thrones weddings, my friend! If I heard this, or god forbid the Rains of Castamere, at my wedding, I'd shriek and run out the door!

But for real, I adore the theme song. It's quite lovely.

 

It definitely isn't something you should do if you don't want to haha. Pros and cons but definitely work and I respect people who are self aware enough to realize it isn't for them

 

I think I want a wedding but not a marriage. Which doesn't bode well. If I could fake the ceremony and not have to actually marry the person but still have the fun party and keep the gifts/money I totally would.

 

Let me officiate. I'll do the whole thing and you guys just won't bring me a marriage license.

 

I forgot to mention that half of the people in attendance died in a bloody massacre known to this day as the Shull Bloodbath

 

This is literally perfect because it would be in so cal so you're already close by! Now I just have to meet someone ridic enough to join in on my shenanigans!

 

This sounds like a really crappy rom com. "Kiana was all set to have the perfect venue. The food, the venue, the officiant. It was all there. But she was missing one thing...the groom"

 

Straight out of Harlequin and Hallmark movies.

 

I know a guy who actually had a fake wedding. He fell out of love with the girl, and she knew, but decided to go on with it because the bride already had tons of family coming over.

 

Omg did everyone find out eventually?? Or were you just trusted with a major burden of silence lol

 

Haha yeah, I've been with my girlfriend for a while now and neither of us are really interested but we understand that could change. Definitely not until I'm finished with school and paying off my loans.

Don't really wanna do the whole kids thing either. Which, again, could change. But I'm the youngest in my family so I'd have to hang out with my friends kids for a while before I even considered having my own haha I'm NOT used to them

 

Everyone on the groom's side knew which is why nobody I knew went, except for the guy's actual cousin who went through the trouble of calling off, buying a present, and driving up from North Carolina. Lol.

 

Apparently, you can even hire fake friends for your wedding if you're in South Korea.

And I'm trying to remember what podcast or radio show it was, but this guy was trying to get his music heard or something, and he convinced a female friend of his to maybe-marry him and they were about 90% ready to go through with it, until she had an epiphany at the rehearsal? that this was a bad idea and she didn't want to marry or didn't even like him while he was singing.

 

I hope to become a happily wedded husband some day.

 

dismantle marriage

I could go for some LaRosas.

Currently imagining you saying that but him having someone else in mind for it. Now I'm dying from hypothetical awkward.
