I don't hate weddings. I do hate the endless wedding photos the happy couple and their friends seem to feel the need to post on social networking sites. A while ago, two friends of mine got married, and they posted hundreds of pics of the night before, the ceremony, the official wedding picture taking (and the actual official wedding photos), the reception... and their friends did the same. Dozens upon dozens of pics of the happy couple in slightly varying poses. I'm fairly sure I had enough to engineer a wedding video out of them. It got so bad that I removed the two guys from my wall for two months, until the pictures had (mostly) stopped.

*ahem* So yeah, weddings are fine as far as I'm concerned. But for my wedding I'm going to forbid people to post pics. I'll do that. In limited quantities.
 
I have to be honest - I love weddings, but only non-relative ones...mostly because I can get drunk and not make a fool of myself.

1) I have something of a suit fetish. :lol:
2) I love awesome catering. Good food is good!
3) Open bars are to die for.
 
I don't like the preparations, so as someone mentioned, the endless pictures get annoying. But I do like the ceremony and the actual celebration. It's nice to celebrate. I don't attend weddings too often (maybe once every other year), so it's nice to have some bit of temporary happiness :P

and now that I'm legal, yay for open bars ;)
 
I hate everything about them and don't even understand people's desire to get married.

They are ok - you get a lot of free food and entertainment is usually nice. If it's family it's a great time to bond. You can meet people too and who knows - a bf may come of it.

But the downside is they are a glaring reminder that in the USA at least marriage is still "defined" between a man and a woman with all that that implies. A glaring reminder that gays are not on equal footing with heterosexuals. Even after all the years of struggle to achieve equality of treatment and recognition as well as status in a relationship.

Pretty simple request just to have the same advantages under law and recognized by all states.

Why is it so difficult?
Will it still be like this 50 years from now?????

I think that's the main reason why some gays don't like weddings. It just reminds them that they don't seem to be allowed to have that and it angers them.
 
The divorce rate in America for first marriage, vs second or third marriage:
50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce, according to Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri.

Surely brides and grooms are aware of the statistics. So what's to celebrate? Does anyone know the divorce rate for gay couples who are allowed to marry in some of the states?
 
Question:

Why just don't go weddings ? problems solved.

you could make excuses of not to go.
Or is it because you will never have a wedding of your own ?
 
I shit on weddings especially on str8 weddings. Not one works.
 
I like the idea of a couple standing up in front of family and friends and making a public promise to each other. That being said, most - well, almost all, in fact - weddings are tiresome and formulaic. I've been to enough "put your face here" weddings to be heartily sick of them. I like people to be a little original and different.

I HATE weddings too!!! Every wedding I was forced to attend something bad happened. I don't plan to ever have one either, it's such a waste of $$$ and In my opinion only for those who like to be the center of attention (which I hate!). Every girl/guy has a "dream" wedding! what a load of bullcrap!!
 
I hate weddings more than the lot of you put together. Best part? I'm a wedding video editor.

I love the pay, it's amazingly high, but I hate the weddings. I'm quitting my job soon though because I just can't take it anymore.


The final straw for me was recently on a new client that came in. Their wedding was the same as the last 35 or so weddings I had to complete in the previous year. I-frigging-dentical. I work with a lot of greek/lebanese/italian people, so it's all the same each time too. I don't know why I clicked it on this one though hah.

Every wedding follows this unwavered path :

-Groom's House
-Bride's House
-Church (if Christian wedding)
-Park/Photoshoot
-Reception intro
-Reception Dancing
-Cutting the cake
-Bridal Waltz
- father daughter dance to "Butterfly kisses" AND ONLY THAT SONG
- bouquet toss to predetermined target / garter throw / exit.


These weddings are just so damn generic, they are all cut'n'paste of each other. I know I sound like a whiny bitch but god damn I hate weddings.

The worst part is when the clients come in and want to change the edit. Sometimes they want to change the song for one of the highlights, but are aghast when they find out not only it will take a few weeks, but they'll have to pay for it (audioswaps don't just work btw).
Very recently I had a client wanting me to take out footage of a girl in a green dress from the WHOLE wedding video, because "I hate her so much she is a bitch". Petty little things like that from Bridezillas are just horrible.

I don't really "get" weddings. I don't have a problem with people getting married, but if you're going to throw 30k AUD at something, why not invest in a house or even spend that on the honeymoon? The sad thing is a lot of the time I see these couples who've taken out loans to pay for their 30-50k wedding, only to see they've divorced not 6 months later. It's a real big shame and waste of money.

Even though gay marriage isn't happening for a long time, I always say if I meet someone and I want to marry, at most I'd want it to be a dinner with both immediate families at a nice place, and then the rest of the money will go towards our futures.

The only up side to the job is getting to see all the groomsmen change outfits on cam. When they're not ugly, it's easy to get lost staring at the footage. So many bulges and pecs yumyum

Pretty funny..I never thought about it,but I guess having to be at weddings as a job,would get pretty old..Do you at least have an occasional drunken brawl at a reception to liven up the routine?
 
There's one enjoyable thing about weddings...
Everyone getting hammered.
 
Count me as one of those.

Most of the weddings occur in the very humid Florida summer, and the one in the Northeast was during a freakin' heat wave. This is pretty much killer me since I hate the heat/humidity while wearing any clothes!! Consequently, the best wedding was in winter in SoCal and we youngins went to Hollywood later that night.

I don't do formal much so I have to basically borrow a suit, one time I was lucky cause I was a last-minute groomsmen.

Luckily so far there was 1 joint (5 course dinner and jazz) and no bachelor/bachelorette parties. The one in June might and I'm not going if that's the case.

I'm not a big fan of alcohol in the 1st place, so open bar isn't of any importance.

I really hate dancing, only time I'm ever dancing is at a gay club and almost against someone I like.
 
i grew up in a family with limited means, so when i see people spend 20,000 on a wedding, i start to hypervintalate. that is just insane to me. i understand how it could cost so much, i can not get past the cost. i keep thinking, that is a down payment on a house! that is a new car! that is some peoples salary for the entire year! and youre spending it all for one day!?

No, but once a Groom got super drunk, and started french kissing all the groomsmen. I coulda swore he was marrying them and not the chick

Oh, and remember that enchanted time when every other wedding's soundtrack had Celine Dion's Titanic song accompanying the procession down the aisle? Is that tacky or what??

Hahaha 1998 was a nightmare for this reason
 
Everyone in my family (including me) had small weddings. Just the immediate families. 6 to 20 people total.

Most of our were nice, short and sweet. No music and a meal was included.
