Sometimes I'm asked, "If you're married, why don't you wear a wedding ring?" And I'm like... Why should I? I never deemed it neccessary, I don't even have one, since our marriage had no wedding (just documents). It's all nice amd cool if you choose to wear it because, for example, you like the design of it, you're so in love you want thw world to see etc., but why put pressure on somebody to wear it? It makes me think people need a mark to let others know, so they are not approached by any other man/woman. Because, you know, words don't mean what they're semantically supposed to mean (such as "no" for example). It's absurd.
I can see this, and have heard stories of friends being in the wedding party, and then after the stress of the entire operation, from announcement to the end of the reception, they become no longer friends.
I personally hate the idea of parents planning their child's weddings. I think it's about the soon-to-be husband and wife, and they should plan it how they want it. After all, people can leave their parents without a wedding.
It is a sad fact that certain individuals do consider it their 'special year' exclusively , i.e. no one else is allowed to even get married in 'their year'. My sister-in-law was told this by her fiance's soon-to-be stepmother. Yes, his soon-to-be stepmother. SMH.
The only time my in-laws were my marriage business was when they paid for my divorce attorney. I love them
I don't find these very relatable, except for one or two. The others just make me sad for people who are in these situations.
Well, loads of people marry because they believe in "love" (i.e. unreasonable passion) and not in actual "love" (i.e. mainly trust). One is very short lived and the other one can last forever. Oh and also we live in a very individualistic society, in which marriage is more of a commodity than an actual commitment...
Load More Replies...I'm not a big fan of these. The art work is adorable, but the message is kind of depressing. I love being married, my sweet husband is the best thing to ever happen to me. It's not always easy, but marriage is just hard work. You get what you put in.
Totally agree. Every relationship is a game of give and take
