22 Things Girls Without The "Bride Gene" Are Thinking During Weddings

Not that I don't respect the whole concept of marriage, but why have a huge stress-filled ceremony? Is it all for the presents?

Weddings. Beautiful occasions full of love and people expressing the innermost feelings about the bride and groom, and it also makes you think about the "one true love" and "happily ever after" waiting for you someday.

Well... maybe not for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I see the merit and the meaning behind marriage and do not see anything wrong with it. It's the huge, extravagant, stress-filled ceremony of it all that I can't wrap my brain around!

The planning, the money spent, and once again, THE STRESS! And it is all for one measly day of your life. And maybe it's just me, but I cannot fathom and comprehend a good reason to put myself through that, and I have never been the type to constantly plan for a wedding.

My future career goals, degrees I want, colleges I want to attend, yes. But I have not been dreaming of and coordinating my wedding since I was 4 years old like other girls. And you know what? That is OK. And if anyone else tells you otherwise, well that's their view and you probably can't change it.

1. There are too many people here I don't know.

2. Why do weddings always start late?

3. Wow... That's a dress! (Can be a compliment or insult)

4. What's up with weddings needing to have flowers all over the place?

5. She spent how much on that dress?!

6. How long have we been sitting here?

7. I wonder if any of the bridesmaids put food in their bouquets in case they get hungry.

8. I'm bored. Would it be rude if I started playing Candy Crush on my phone?

9. How likely is it that at least one person in the wedding party is drunk?

10. Why do we have to clap after they pronounce them man and wife? I almost always use my blinker when driving. Where's my round of applause?

11. Why are people are crying?

12. I hope the reception doesn't suck.

13. Or worse, the food could suck...

14. I hope the bride isn't clumsy. Spilling stuff on that dress would stink.

15. Look at all these presents! All they did was say, "I do." I had to get through a whole week of testing, turning in term papers, taking the GRE, and applying to grad school! Where's MY blender?!

16. What kind of cake is there?

17. Is this an open bar? If not it's OK. I brought my BFF. Flasky.

18. To all the drunk guests busting a move on the dance floor, calm down before you hurt yourself. Or more importantly, me.

19. Apparently, if you are an adult you cannot have chicken nuggets as your entrée.

20. Is the reception over yet? I can hear Whataburger calling my name.

21. Why do women actually try to catch the bouquet?

22. At least one of their boyfriends is probably praying his girl doesn't catch it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
