Does anyone else find wedding ceremonies absolutely cringe and boring?

[Smashingdoozy]

If I ever were to get married (would only be if it was important to my future partner) I'd only want the quickest possible ceremony with the minimum required people.

The reception is where it's at.

[Finchie40]

Yes , me personally thinks wedding ceremonies should be private , it should just be the 2 of you getting married and then have a reception with family and friends to celebrate your marriage. If I ever get married again , that’s what I would like to do , just her and I , we get married and then go on a romantic getaway , and then when we get home we make the announcement we got married and throw a reception party.

Agreed , marriage is essential..

But all that fancy expensive Party the whole routine of "Wedding" is a horrible disaster..

But it fuels the economy, and businesses..

Even I would Prefer a simple Small ceremony in a religious temple or church of what she believes in.

If she values family and friends then , a small ceremony with family and friends on Good terms is perfect..

I would rather save Big Party like wedding for the 25th Anniversary, if the relationship does not Crash and Burn than it is worth a Big celebration. And celebrating with all those people that you made friends with as a couple..

Yea but the worst bit is hearing all the planning. People talk when you ask them to not, they can't stop going on and on and on. No one cares, not even the groom ffs

Nobody has to get married the traditional way, we never did. We were married for under $100 and followed it up with a killer party. Perfect.

Not if they're tastefully done. Some over-the-top ceremonies are too ridiculous so I just send the couple something from their registry and don't attend the ceremony/reception.

I recently attended a classic wedding ceremony and reception. It's what the couple, in their mid-30s, wanted. Everyone had fun, a good time. Food, live band and dancing at the reception.

I last went to a wedding about a year ago. I would have chewed off my leg to get out of going to it. I had a church wedding which meant a lot to my wife but was had a real homemade reception. Everyone that was there said it was the best wedding they ever went to.

[KostasKouvalis]

It's interesting seeing the ones from other cultures, but as far as "Western" ones go, I kind of agree.

I'm with you on this one. If she wanted something lavish, I would do it for HER, otherwise I'd just do what YOU did. Sometimes it can be cringe and boring. Lately, it makes me depressed. They're so repetitive though.

[Friendlybro79]

Is it possible I am getting really old or does everyone younger than me think everyone and everything is cringe lol. I'm just messing with you. I think the answer is to each their own and if they practice religion it might be a big deal.

[slatyb]

I agree completely. You don't have to have a ceremony at all. All you have to do is sign the marriage license with two witnesses and submit it.

[RedTiefling]

I think they're over hyped, something low key sounds much more appealing.

But it depends on the couple 🤷‍♂️

[Apple1996]

Yep my wedding ceremony was a super super small and I loved it.

[SarahP080106]

The ceremony is boring, reception fun and usually I hookup with a groomsman

[HusamRocks]

I do since I believe it's showing up and superficial also a waste of money that u could invest at ur house or anything useful 🤔

[Wiredone]

Couples who have big weddings don't last. Usually within 5 years they are getting divorced. I got married by the justice of the peace and we just celebrated 30 years

[ehatsham_hussain]

I am 100 percent agreed , we should not spending too much for wedding ceremony.
We should invest for our future besides it.
Our marriage was so less expensive.

[Anonymous]

well i can tell you it is a waste of money. something small, quick, simple is better, and then spend the money elsewhere for something more than just a "one day" thing

[Axeldddd56]

There doesn't seem to much benefits in marriage nowadays and divorce can ruin lives

[msc545]

I find them extremely sad since the happy groom doesn't realize that what he is doing is essentially financial suicide.

[Flower7]

Yes, I do not like weddings.

[Gwendoline]

No. I loved mine. Wish I could do it again.

[Circushowcowboy]

Yea they sure can be a real snooze fest

[Anonymous]

Yeah, divorce is far more me

[loveslongnails]

I do.

[Rockey_the_bicker]

Yes I feel bored...

[Kingofkings1992]

Yes.
