53 Thoughts From A Single Person At A Wedding
Storypickers

Weddings: the crown jewel of celebrations, the party of all parties, the ceremony of the ultimate step in a relationship!

... gross.

Or so I thought as I watched my friends and my family members stroll down the aisle to bind themselves to another human for the rest of their lives.

Being the single person (without a plus one) at a wedding is never easy. Your closest companion throughout the event is the bar and the dancefloor, but you make it work for yourself, or so you thought. However, some things may cross the mind of a single pringle witnessing holy matrimony. These are just a few:

1. Ugh, I hate weddings.

2. Ew, they're so cute.

3. These decorations are so cliché.

4. Do they really need all of these centerpieces?

5. I wonder how much of this crap came from a Pinterest board.

6. Oh, good choice in music.

7. Look at them, getting married and stuff.

8. Please, no one cry. I can't handle tears.

9. STOP CRYING MY MAKEUP WILL RUN.

10. I need someone to hold my hand right now.

11. Why am I single?

12. Wait, I know why.

13. Thank God that's over.

14. Where's the bar?

15. There it is.

16. I need someone to flirt with.

17. This day isn't about me, though.

18. But it doesn't hurt to be a little social.

19. Is there anyone else here that's single and cute and remotely my age?

20. Oh, come on.

21. Aaaaaand all the couples are dancing.

22. Maybe I'll ask someone to dance.

23. Maybe the love of my life will show up and this will be the most magical night ever.

24. Oh, they're kissing again.

25. Why does this DJ suck so much?

26. I might as well dance.

27. I hope no one is judging the fact that I'm dancing alone.

28. I don't really care, but still.

29. Time for speeches. Hopefully, no one embarrasses themselves.

30. I really hope someone embarrasses themselves.

31. That was so cute.

32. Am I about to cry?

33. MORE KISSING GAH WHY.

34. Where's the cake?

35. I want this one day.

36. Can't I just fall in love and have my own sappy story?

37. Wait, ew, no.

38. They really are so cute.

39. I love her dress.

40. She could have picked something better for her bridesmaids though. Yuck.

41. I'm so happy for them.

42. But they're making the biggest mistake of their lives.

43. I need another drink.

44. Where's the bride, I wanna dance with her.

45. I wonder if she has any single friends that I can dance with.

46. No, stop this is not about you.

47. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

48. I LOVE THIS SONG.

49. I wonder if the photographer took a picture of me.

50. Hopefully, I don't look too lonely.

51. This is so beautiful.

52. They are so happy.

53. I love weddings.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
