8 Reasons We All Love Weddings

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue! Weddings are the most diverse and collaborative events. In the United States alone, an average of 72 billion dollars a year is spent on weddings! Why? Because we all love them, and here are the reasons why we do.

1. Waiting to see the groom's face when his bride walks down the isle.

We all love to watch the groom just break down because he finally gets to marry the girl of his dreams. Oh, and, that white dress is pretty easy on the eyes.

2. Hearing the vows.

It is definitely possible to see what kind of couple the bride and groom are through their vows. Will they be funny, sappy or traditional? Either way they are just so stinking cute!


3. Free food.

It is best to keep our expectations for wedding food low because we all know that wedding food is either the worst or the best we have had, but it will always be free.

4. First Dance.

We all love to watch the new couple of the night so happy and engaged in each other through a deep and intimate interaction. We get to experience a little piece of their bond along side of them. Plus, if we are lucky, they have choreographed something more than just a slow dance!


5. Father-Daughter dance.

During this we all catch a little glimpse into the bride's childhood and her relationship with her father. This dance is always so heartfelt and beautiful. We also all get to see a part of her groom, because he is most likely very similar to her father.


6. Best man and maid of honor speeches.

We love to hear about the couple's stories, and who better to tell us these stories than their best friends that experienced everything with them! We always want to see them as individuals as well, and these speeches are the first time within the wedding that we get to hear this.

7. Dessert.

I know, I know, more food. We would all be lying if we said that we did not love the free food, and dessert is obviously the best.

8. Dancing.

We all wait for the time that we get to get up, and dance the night away and celebrate with the couple!


No matter what kind of wedding that you attend, it is always quite enjoyable. They are beautiful ceremonies that are packed with love, purpose and commitment!

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?
