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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
