Why I Should Not Marry

I am not against it, I am just too emotional for my own good.

It consists of dresses, flowers, cake, and nerves. The day is considered the best day ever as the bride walks down the aisle to her beloved as they prepare to start their lives together, yet some people are against this idea. People in the new generation are now against the idea of being married because having commitment holds them back from their true potential. I am all for marriage because the idea of falling hopelessly in love is exciting, but I, personally, do not want to marry at this point because I am overly emotional and will ruin my own wedding.

As the bridesmaids start the fun for me as I go through my life with a beloved, I know for a fact that eventually I will go off the deep end and tell them how I grateful I am. I often know that I am a waterfall of feelings, while they portray a drought that has lasted over a hundred years. I will be overly excited about dress shopping, bridal showers, and my bachelorette party where I know they will go above and beyond. I know for a fact that my group of friends will tell me that I need to suck it up and get my crap together, yet still hand me the tissues as I become overwhelmed with everything.

When the groom and bride start to say their vows, it is always an emotional point because they are promising things that they intend to keep for the next eternity with one another. For me, this would be the point where I would more than likely ruin all the effort that was done on my face. If I were to marry, I would want to create special vows about how the guy fell in love with a villain that was disguised as the princess. I know once he would start to speak, I would lose it and my wedding pictures would look absolutely horrid. Honestly, I would have to tell the preacher that he needs to let the groom wait to recite his vows until after all the pictures, which would seem heartless but it's because I'm a dang waterfall.

I think more or less is that the day of my big day will literally consist of tears and worrying, yet will blossom with joy and happiness. I will be the bride sitting in the room beforehand afraid that he wants to get out, so I will be corny and give him socks so he doesn't get cold feet and a watch to be promptly on time. I will be walking around beforehand with butterflies doing fireworks as I more than likely try to convince myself that he is in the long haul with me. I will text him and write him letters about how I am more than thrilled to start a new chapter with him and how things will go easy breezy, but in reality it is pretty much to set myself up for success so he cannot run off without guilt.

I am not going to lie, once I discovered what Pinterest was, I started pinning to a board about possible things I wanted on my day. I sat and thought and thought about what colors they would wear, how many in the bridal party, and how the pictures would look. At the end of the day, my board is something that I find interest in every so often because I find it in my heart to be somewhat of a romantic. The more I think about being a romantic, though, it makes me think of how much I am an emotional mess and that I should not marry because I alone will make myself sad at my own wedding.

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.
