I Don’t Understand These Women
Hat Tip: Alarming News
This blog is kind of nauseating.
Frankly, I don’t understand these women who go on and on about how planning their weddings is so stressful. It’s as if these otherwise intelligent women lose sight of the fact that you get what you pay for, and that the person forking over the big bucks for the shebang gets the ultimate say in what/who is included. After all, nothing in this life is free.
And I have one more bit of news for these women. Six months, or even two weeks after your extravaganza, no one will remember the color of your invitations, or that the flowers did not match the table cloths. Nor will they care.
Aside from being overly materialistic, I think the main reason women become Bridezillas (and I’m not calling the author of this blog one of them) is that they lose focus of what a wedding truly is. For them, it’s only about being Miss America for the day. And they are dead wrong. It’s about joining two people, and their two families together, before G-d, to start a new family.
So, in response to those who may write me angrily saying I don’t know what I’m talking about, and that women want their weddings to be perfect, I say, get over yourselves. You’re not the first woman to marry, and you won’t be the last. So as long as you don’t conduct your wedding in a barn in the middle of nowhere, with porta-potties for your guests, you should be in good enough shape.

I’d like to chart the money spent on the wedding against the length of the marriage. NOT a positive slope I bet. This is anecdotal, but we spent about $50 on our wedding — 36 years ago.

I have to say that there’s nothing like planning a wedding that makes you understand why people elope! LOL
Of course, the male perspective is, “just show up, and you’ll be fine.”
