30 Of The Most Humorous, Bizarre, And Deep “Shower Thoughts” On Marriage, As Shared By Users In This Online Group

ADVERTISEMENT

The belief that the day you get married is the best day of your life is not dead. And the best proof of that is never-ending stories of which some were already covered by Bored Panda. From bridezillas who want everything to be perfect and then messing up the whole thing to people celebrating long and successful marriages. But what happens in between saying “I do” and the day the marriage reaches its end? Marriage is full of customs and things that say “this is how it suppose to be”. Having this in mind, Reddit’s users started sharing their Shower Thoughts on matters such as wedding, marriage and relationship. The list includes statements that people rarely think of starting from a proposal: have you ever thought that proposing reminds you of begging and that this very important decision of life should not be put forward as a surprise? Or how the wedding means more to the happy couple than the marriage itself? These and many more thoughts crossed Reddit users minds. Do you have your own experiences to share? Don’t forget to leave it in the comments!

Well, no. It does if you're bisexual and would be willing to marry either sex. But if you would only be interested in marrying a person of a specific sex, then it's more like 7.53/2, isn't it?

No it isn't. Unless you are counting all of those of the same sex as you to be homosexual and all of those of the same and opposite sex as you to be irresistibly attracted to you and, therefore, doing everything they can to be your one and only.

when my parents got married my dad was about to be deployed overseas. They had to get special permission to wave one of the days waiting period. My mom went to her best friend to borrow a suit to get married in. When mom told her friend she was getting married she asked "To who?" Honestly. My dad met one of her brothers for the first time in the vestry of the church and his wife back at the house where she was helping make the wedding dinner. So.....army uniform-free. Wedding suit- borrowed, therefore free. No bouquet, corsage only. Reception venue at home - free. Home cooked meal, not catered.They got married on a Wednesday and dad left for Germany on Monday. My mom got her engagement ring for their 10th wedding anniversary. But for a wedding that was put together in 2 days because my dad was being deployed, the wedding cake had the bride in a grey suit and the groom in an army uniform sergeant strips and all. Way to do it!

nobody has to get married if they don't want to!! Although, I would argue that getting married to your SO brings some legal benefits, for example in an emergency your spouse would be contacted first and have some say in what goes on when you're in the hospital, whereas if you were just together but not legally binded, technically the medical staff could claim you were just a friend. Not that that's a reason to get married, lol.
