Weddings… that time of year again

by Sandy

This past weekend was one of those infamous weekends it seems where everyone gets engaged. And if the couple is close to me (as one is, thankfully—the asking was a bit overdue if you ask me), it’s great because I can genuinely be happy for them.

However, I honestly have a difficult time being truly happy for couples who have known each other arguably longer than the lifespan of a fish-fly and suddenly become bridegroomzillas with one thing and one thing only on their mind: the wedding day. It’s as if time and planning becomes a nonexistent entity thereafter.

Can I say something here…It is one day. One. Day. Do I need to type it again? Don’t make me do it.

Okay, alright. I can feel the newly engaged and the newlyweds glaring down on me and casting judgment as the bitter old maid (hardly…I’m kidding.) I am.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I pray that if I am ever blessed enough to find the love of my life and marry him that our wedding day is indeed great. But so help me God if it’s going to be so spectacular that one date is the climax of our relationship and our marriage is all downhill from there…

To be continued…

    Okay first, I half expected to come to a site called Dating Outlook and just see the word BLEAK, giant. I’d visit every day and just nod sadly in agreement.

    But in response to this post, I know it is a lot to plan, and quite special, but why oh why must us non-brides-to-be hear about your (you know who you are!) wedding plans every darn day in the work lunch room!?!?

    I agree… us single-non-brides are subject to alot of listening to and being happy for the soon to be married.

    Also as a non-bride- I mean as a not-even-close-to-being-a-bride woman, I was wondering, if it would steal a brides “thunder” if I was to throw an
    “I’M NOT GETTING MARRIED” party? but still get all the great gifts?

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
