I was just talking to a workmate about the big ol’ royal engagement that’s just been announced. I’m sure you’ve heard about it. She is so excited and can’t wait to see the dress, the venue, etc etc.
I can’t think of anything more mind numbingly boring than sitting around with a friend of mine discussing flowers and place settings, or going out with a friend to help them pick a wedding dress.
I must be missing the romantic gene because this kind of stuff just does nothing for me! Hell I am not interested in even having my own wedding!
Most of my friends think I am anti-marriage because of stuff like this. I am really not! Each to their own. Good luck to those who are married, whatever makes you happy, it’s your life. But why just because it isn’t what I want why am I suddenly anti-marriage?
Anyway my original question was… ladies does all this wedding stuff excite you?
I like looking at weddings and wedding pictures. Just because I haven't succeeded in this business doesn't mean other people won't. It also doesn't mean I should rain on their parade.
I had a blast planning my own wedding....trying on dresses, picking flowers, finding the perfect venue...etc. If it's a close friend or family member I also appreciate the excitement that goes into planning the event and I find it fun participating in the planning.
If it's someone I don't know then I have no interest. I don't follow celeb./royal weddings.
I'm not getting marry any time soon nor will I pressure myself to get marry now, but I have to admit that it does excite me sometimes...I think it's just more of the wedding dress part..Otherwise, everything else is not on my mind. Of course, I tell myself that I should find a man first and if the relationship works out fine, then maybe I should think about these stuff. Trying not to get ahead of myself and not focus on the wedding, but overall, the marriage part.

I agree. I like looking at place settings, invitations, wedding dresses, the whole shebang. It's fun. They're beautiful things. It's hopefully a special day for both the participants.
It works out for some people and for others it doesn't. But I still enjoy the preparations and the things that go along with it, even if in my life things didn't pan out.

I have to admit, my husband planned most of ours!
I did pick my dress and shoes and found the minister in the yellow pages.
Hubby coordinated the music.
I told the florist how many flower thingies I wanted and how much I was willing to spend. She let her imagination run wild and handled it all herself - I just picked them up. They really were beautiful.
Our wedding was really nice - in spite of me.
I agree - I don't get all the excitement. The marriage was important, not the wedding.
I think your just more real when it comes to relationships. Alot of girls that go nuts over weddings are just daydreaming about it. Not realistic at all. Getting married is not about a day, its the rest of your life. To see girls flip out over a single day like its some sort of dream come true makes me feel like they are going to get divorced in less then a year.
I don't mind hearing a little bit about the details or attending weddings but I sure as heck don't want to plan one!
