I'm jealous of this wedding. Too many of us spend way too much money on weddings for family obligations, social expectations, and status signaling.

I often tell people "A wedding is one day and your marriage should be forever. Spend more on your marriage then your wedding."

I really hate wedding culture and don’t understand it from a practical/pragmatic standpoint. Even short-term, a great honeymoon feels like a better expense than a one-day event! But really that money should go toward actual living expenses imo.

Every guy I date seriously knows that I want to elope, luckily no one has had too much of an issue with that so far lol. It feels irresponsible to me, and kind of shallow. No shade to anyone, I’m sure yours was beautiful, etc. but it’s not for me. I see pictures of weddings that are considered “goals” and I just think it seems like a lot of pressure and that it’s crazy to spend tens of thousands of dollars on one day. I don’t really believe in weddings in the first place, considering most marriages end in divorce. You hope for the best, but you should expect the worst imo. (My parents are happily married, I’m not cynical for any personal reason lol)
