My wedding is not for a few more months and I already hate it. From the expense, to the countless hours of planning, coordinating, deciding useless garbage like centerpieces and the other trivial nonsense, it’s so pointless. And for what? One enjoyable day with friends and family and for a big show that no one but the bride and her mom will care about a week later.
I love my fiance and want to spend the rest of my life with her. I even proposed that instead of a wedding we get legally married, have a celebratory dinner with friends and family before going on an epic honeymoon with the money we would have spent on a wedding. But then I got the “don’t you think I deserve a wedding?” I dunno, I wouldn’t wish this on someone I disliked – but of course I can’t say that.
Oh and what a honeymoon it would have been! Why? Because if you add “wedding” in front of anything it automatically becomes 10 times more expensive.
You get the point. I wish I could add the word “wedding” in front of my stock portfolio and watch it multiply tenfold.
I’ve started to resent her, her mom and my mom for being so gaga over this process. It’s driving me crazy. I hate being repeatedly asked my opinion on some detail like flower arrangements, only for them to say “no I like this other one better”. Ok then stop asking me and just pick whatever. I wish I could just tell them to leave me out of the planning phase. I get zero enjoyment out of this endless time-suck. But everything has to be done together because it’s romantic. Puke.
Many of my friends have told me they hated planning their weddings so it seems like I’m not alone. Apparently my dad hated it too according to my mom. I even had a dream of meeting a girl who didn’t want to have a wedding and we just traveled all the time together.
I just want it to end. To be married and be done with it. Thank you for listening. It felt so good to vent.

I’m getting married soonish, and I feel this. My fiancé is wonderful, and does do a lot of the planning, but a 45 minute conversation about the shape of the cups is insane
