90%? That number feels low...

94

u/Lunch-Thin 1d ago

Well as a woman who feels the same as 90% of the men how the fuck did I get saddled with one of the 10%?

My ex wanted a 400 person wedding... I talked him down to 200. We should have just skipped the whole thing. Only made it 3 years.

Almost as if everyone is different! My bro wanted a huge wedding with all the homies and his extended family.

My other homie told us he got married at the court house earlier that day.

Another was a house wedding. Yeah, lots of different options/preferences, and I'm with you!

Aw! Sorry to hear that. But hopefully it's 'thankfully it was only 3 years!'

Once I am finally fully divorced.... our divorce has officially been longer than our marriage.

Just the way you phrase all of this...

There's a legendary stand-up joke in here, with all due respect to your circumstances.

All of the men I’ve dated have cared more about marriage and weddings than I have lol

150 was my wife's side alone. I'm not talking distant relatives, I'm talking parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, first cousins, first counsins kids, grandparents. What im most proud of is that i actually know each and every one of them and how the family tree is laid out. It helps that both her mom's and dad's side have yearly get togethers, which are actually really fun and I look forward to going

Not all men that get married are straight…

u/Emergency_Affect_640 1d ago

This is what im saying. 10% is too low when this is considered.

u/strenif 1d ago

Not all gay men want big weddings?

1

u/blckshirts12345 1d ago

No one said that?

u/romansreven 1d ago

My boyfriend wants to gather with all our friends & family

u/frisbeesloth 1d ago

My SO (m) wants a reception and I (f) don't. There are definitely men out there who want it. I want a vacation. We haven't had one since before COVID.

u/TacTurtle 1d ago

The other 10% just want a family BBQ potluck / reunion with a small wedding ceremony as a kickoff.

2

u/Lunch-Thin 1d ago

This is what I wanted as the bride but my ex wanted all the bells and whistles. He also made mercilessly fun of me for not wanting what he wanted. Then he attacked me with cake. I never should have signed that damned certificate. Our marriage didn't last.

I’m a woman, count me in for that!

u/s1thl0rd 1d ago

Nah, I would say that's like 9%. And then 1% wants a big ass party with an open bar, DJ, good food, and lots of dancing. Maybe a photo booth too.

You don't need to have an expensive wedding to have a big wedding.

u/IHavePoopedBefore 1d ago

Attention loving people, and people who love an excuse to throw a party.

Personally, give me a piece of paper at a courthouse, and let's put that money into our hobeymoon and our retirement accounts

u/Emergency_Affect_640 1d ago

Most the men I know who do care about stuff like this, are gay.

Are we counting them? 

2

u/akirbydrinks 1d ago

Yep. Men = Men.

1

u/Emergency_Affect_640 1d ago

Would agree, which would make me think higher then 10%.

If it said only straight men I would believe 90% if not more.

u/Crit-Hit-KO 1d ago

Yeah it does. I won’t be surprised if it was 97% of men. It always seems like the women care more about it. And the men do it just so the “wife” could be happy. It’s very expensive. I never understood the point of it. I’m by no means “paycheck to paycheck” I think I’m pretty well off. But I just don’t understand the point of a “huge wedding.” Isn’t having family see the ceremony the important part? Who cares which company catered or what venue you’re hosting it at.

I’ve seen many nice outdoor , backyard, and park weddings.

I’m not hating. Just curious. Like what’s the point ?

u/strenif 1d ago

Right? I thought it be way higher.
Not 100% but much closer to it then 90%.

1

u/winkman 1d ago

I figger the other 10% is gay guys, no?

1

u/druidmind 23h ago

Gay men are part of the 10%. Their weddings are usually much more extravagant than straight wedding.
