So many people concentrate on just the wedding and wonder why after the wedding is over, so is the Honeymoon. Marriage is a journey, like life, it isn’t about one day. Don’t let your friend get carried away.
marriage is good, weddings are bad
funny, cause wedding was good but marriage was bad.
I am now married only to my corn chowder recipe.
mmmmm, that’s some of the good life, right there.
weddings, like divorces are common place, and inescapable now days. you just have to bear out all that shit, then wait til they split, and lower the boom on them for all the bullshit everyone had to put up with. and why bother getting hitched anyway? most people just shack up these days. look at all the kids around you. do they all have the same last name as the father? bet not, and most of them, don’t even know who the old man is anyway.
the girls getting knocked up, don’t give two shits either, just pop them out, and collect a nice fat gubment cheque.makes me wanna throw a fucking jihad.
sorry zedman, i know folks who spent the farm on their nuptials and are no longer hitched
well that’s just stupid…
let’s start our life together by wiping our collective bank accounts?
uh, no thanks.
I hear you, OB.. it’s the same with people that go on and on about their children. Just ignore them and maybe eventually they’ll get the hint.
How much did you spend on your wedding, zed, if you don’t mind me asking?
I don’t know how much my cousin spent on hers, but she mentioned the catering cost and wowza. She also got married in Toronto, so there’s a bit of a price hike there.
My best friend MUST have spent around $30k for hers. Well maybe between $20 and $30k.
My parents wedding cost $45. They got married at the law courts. 🙂
yeah, I mind…
after acadia though, there certainly wasn’t 20k kicking around, burning holes in our pockets…
As a former wedding planner, I know what you mean!
On the other hand, everyone around the bridezilla is feeding into this ‘queen for a day’ bs.
Well, I think SOMEONE needs to incorporate some more fibre into their diet.
Also: I don’t understand WHY chicks getting married have that mentality. Just because you’re getting married, doesn’t mean you’re anything special. Even if it is for only one day.
PK, the wedding business is like the funeral business. You don’t need to depend on repeat clients and your customers are very easy to exploit.
you SHOULD get a complementary funeral for buying a wedding…
that way when she takes him for everything and he’s fitting himself for a noose he won’t have to ask himself how much this is gonna cost him.
She can’t take him for any more than half!
Unless we’re talking about self esteem and self respect, cause you certainly got raped outta all dat, zedman.
*shrug*
you could wear the same suit too
AHAHAHAHA. It’s true.
I want to be buried naked.
i want to be buried at sea, i’d rather be fish food
i don’t really believe in weddings i think it’s a waste of time. if you love the person you’re with leave it at that. you don’t need all of it. almost every marriage i have seen has come crashing down except for the ones that were 20-25 years in the making and all that is by than is a celebration of their love.
Alex, don’t confuse weddings with marriages. I was appalled last summer to discover two long time acquaintances weren’t married, but had been living together for 10 years. My negative reaction was based on money, not morals. After ten years of marriage, the spouse can collect the exes’ social security. I don’t know what the law is in Canada, though. Anyone? LS, you’re divorced, no?
we have common-law in canada http://www.common-law-separation-canada.co…
no no no i know. but let’s see i’m 22
i graduated 4 years ago from high school
i have seen a lot of my friends get married and divorced in those 4 years
i just think a wedding is a foolish thing that lately people only do to rub into others faces saying we can do it
to me it’s like, at least know you’re in love to do it.
Just give her the look the next time she brings it up. Sort of like my avatar, the wolverine.
I second that – and make it an open bar or I’m not comin’!
yes xeno, i have been for a number of years. when i got last hitched, it took me almost 5 years to pay off, even with money i already had. marriage today is not smart. because you could be divorced in a week. i know a girl, got hitched on mondy, separated on wednesday, and filed papers on friday. 20 grand down the tubes.
when i click on your wolverine, i get a fossil
