Ok, before people start asking me if I'm getting married..the answer is "NO." But, my friends are and I just realized how STUPID weddings are. Yes, you heard me...STUPID. Here are my reasons and PLEASE correct me if you think i'm wrong. I want to hear what everyone's input is and see if i'm missing the big picture here....
1. Engagement/Wedding Rings - I thought the whole meaning is to show that you are taken and that you will love your husband forever like a circle (ring). (or something along those lines..i'm not quite sure actually). Anyways, so, why does husband spend sooooo much money on a rock (aka-diamond/sapphire, etc)? Some girls dont even wear it after a while (is this true?!?!?!) Is it just to show it off? Ok, so there's a story about the bigger the diamond the more the guys loves you because you are worth it..blah blah blah. But seriously, why do you want a huge rock? First off, I think it looks old-fashioned and ugly. Secondly, its expensive and I rather take that money and go on an awesome trip. Third, I dont care to show anything off. I know my husband loves me and do not need him to prove it with a rock. So, just go with the wedding ring...period.
2. Weddings - Isnt this just between the husband and wife? Why do you need to spend sooo much money on a wedding and invite some people you never even met before or care about? Why cant it just be a signature on a paper and some vows?
3. Wedding vows - Why do you need to "promise" things? "I promise to love you forever....." ermm..isnt that a given already since I'm marrying you? Why do you need to do wedding vows and tell everyone that. The only thing i'll promise is to not throw my phone at him when I get mad..hehehehe
4. Bachelorette/Bachelor's Party - I dont get it. I mean, I know its the "last day to be single" but it doesnt mean that after you get married you cannot go out and play?!?! What's the point of this??
5. Bridesmaid/Best men - I dont get this. Its about the groom and bride, right? So why do you need like 10 other people there? O.o What is the point of this again? 'cuz they are your best friend/sisters?
So, i've concluded. I dont want a wedding. Its a waste of money and I dont see what's good about it. Please convince me otherwise. I dont want an engagement ring..just a wedding ring. But I know my parents will KILL me if I get married without a wedding. Damnit! Maybe I can convince my sister and brother to get married with me together at the same time and we can all save sooo much money and planning and time since we all have the same relatives...hahahah!! what do you think?? now I just need a plan.
What are your thoughts? Am I just not getting the whole picture? Is it a sign that i'm not mature enough?
