Why do women want fairytale weddings?

Question

They get so emotional over it, wanting it to be so perfect, wanting everyone to take interest in them, their dresses, their shoes.

To me it's just another meaningless event for society. I'd rather spend time with friends and family in a quiet ceremony on a weekend than obsess over it for months.

Because their minds have been infected by hollywood with all this "I'm a princess" bullshit. For most of history and for most people weedings were simple affairs. Only the very rich had lavish weddings. Sometime in the mid-20th century the idea was spread that a wedding must be a grand lavish affair. This idea came from the wedding industry that brainwashed America's middle classes into believing they had to place themselves into great debt just for a wedding. Just like the diamond industry , it is another bullshit sham that people have fallen for. Why spend so much money that could be better spent on inveasting or perhaps put into paying off some other debt?

People are suckers.

Because they have had so many years of attention, whoring that the dopamine rush required overcoming that requires a wedding where they can get the most attention and be in the center of this fairytale fantasy that will become a faded set of photos. It is based on an attention addiction. Avoid them, they are sick.

Not all women do.
It is a social event, and as such, by human nature, gets judged and compared. So many want a wedding that people can look back on and enjoy the memories- which some people decides has relevance to the price tag which is ridiculous in my opinion.
Also look at all female centred media surrounding it, they're practically brainwashed to think they HAVE to plan it and it HAS to be this perfect dream of theirs coming true.
I'd rather keep it small and simple, and keep it as a small celebration of the love and dedication to that love I have to my partner.

I'm the same way. I can't wrap my head around spending a huge amount of money on a big wedding that just looks stressful to me. The amount of money some people spend on a wedding could be used for a down payment on a house. It just seems like a waste for all of that to be spent on a single day rather than something that can last for years. I'm also not a fan of making a huge production out of things or drawing attention to myself. A courthouse wedding (if I ever even do get married) would be just fine for me.

I got married at a community center in a flannel shirt and blue jeans, it was small and short. And it was like 500 or 600 dollars  Some girls don't want a big wedding.

Some people do some dont. If the couple wants that who cares for me. This life is just about anyone creating their own fairytale.. even if it means to be a wearing jeans at a wedding or to Halloween costumes... or something grand. Whatever.

I would like something small and intimate vs wasting money on people that usually dont even call me on my birthday. .. just so I can do what? Maintain dumb social expectations? Pass. small and intimate with people that matter is better.

I don’t , our wedding was a over in 3 minutes, we wore casual clothes and whoever wanted to show up could. Weddings are indeed overrated we rather spend our money on our future.

I personally want to feel like a princess on the big day. Nothing too crazy but definitely a fairytale come true. ❄️💙❄️

Loving_Husband · Answer

It's a big day for a girl. A day some of them have dreamed about for years. They should be treated like a princess or royalty on their wedding day. It's not too much to ask for her husband to make her feel that way on her special day.

nerms123 · Answer

I don’t want that kind of wedding. Not even sure I want a wedding. But I think they just want it to show off

Tomblebee · Answer

If they are ever going to be able to get male attention other than that of their husband without feeling guilty it is now or never, hence elaborate dress, centre of attention etc.

JKingOff · Answer

It's a trade. A lifetime of perpetual servitude to some jerk in a semi-permanent pregnant state in exchange for 1 horribly expensive day that's all about them at his expense, and the occasional taking out the trash.

The girl I have a crush on now  Just wants to go to city hall, she is perfect haha. 😊 I know indian and middle eastern women want the most elaborate weddings.

Liam_Hayden · Answer

For the same reason they want big diamond rings. it is because Madison Avenue Ad men, working for their clients, have convinced them that it is necessary. I mean, why make a down payment on a house when you can blow it on caterers and flowers?

They want to feel like... you know what never mind, I was going to say something really long and drawn out, but I’m too lazy and I need to go to sleep.

Holy_Ghost_Fire · Answer

They are unrealistic in their wants. Most men don't like doing all this stuff on weddings but do it because the woman likes it.
