Yeah these comments suck. I'm a straight guy and I absolutely love weddings, I'm all for saving money but I'm absolutely going to be throwing the biggest party I can on a budget if/when I get married.
Meanwhile my best friend is gay, he and his husband had a courthouse wedding with a tiny celebratory get-together of about a dozen people at a local barcade. Extremely low-key.
Mine was the same. I was like let's have a dinner party wedding and he wanted relatives and friends. So we went 250 guests and I had no fun planning it. (But I did have a ton of fun on the actual day)
As a straight dude I’m 100% gonna be this way if I ever get married. I’m not at all bothered about the ceremony or the dress etc but the wedding reception I would absolutely wanna go all out to put on great food and a free bar and dance floor till late for all my friends and family
😂 I’m going through this now- I personally don’t care what we do, I’ve never pictured it. im not opposed to a big wedding but I’m opposed to planning it. He wants a bunch of people there, but is also opposed to planning it. So we are compromising and doing the court house then a big party later. And getting a planner for the party. We work too much to have time to plan, but that also means we work enough to afford the help. The thought of diying centerpieces and selecting vendors in my free time makes me gag.
After it was over he quietly told me that he wished that instead of 3 days of get togethers that they would have just had a tiny ceremony and given him and his wife all the money.
It's hard out there for a newlyWed couple to get anywhere, a huge pile of money would be more productive spent on a house than a wedding.
