Why weddings are So overrated

I am a realist, and blunt. I choose not to bury my head in the sand and act like I dont see whats going on around me. I choose to see things the way they are. Weddings (Church weddings) take months of stressful planning and are very expensive.Moreover, I wouldn’t want to slip awkwardly out of an overpriced car, in an overpriced dress,which I will only get to wear on one day, then walk down the aisle in front of hundreds of people some of whom I barely know. Weddings are SO overrated

I recently happened to watch a My dream wedding,a show on Ktn channel, I don’t usually watch those but this one was particularly interesting. The groom was very open on the fact that he couldn’t have afforded such a big wedding seeing that he was a security guard who happened to have been earning Ksh 6000 per month, and the bride was a house help for this rich family that happened to have sponsored the wedding whose cost was Ksh 540,000. Interesting right?

A wedding is about the bride and groom not everyone else. I can only imagine the conflict that comes about when the bridesmaids want different dresses, no one is happy with the menu, friends want to invite their friends that the couple don’t even know about and all your sisters think they should be the maid of honour.

It is not supposed to be a show off to impress a bunch of people some of whom you don’t even know, or care about. The whole point of it is to make a promise of love and commitment to your spouse.
Weddings make people forget why they are throwing them in the first place, they become blinded.

So If and when that time comes, I would grab my husband’s hand and run down to the Attorney General’s office, then spend some of the money on an incredible honeymoon, and invest the rest. But that’s just me, my opinion.
