I don't much see the point in marriage anymore. All it is is a piece of paper that says you are bound together. Like that is eternal binding or something? Silly now. The world we live in is a lot more complex than that.

You, me, Dieb. That's a tough contest right there.

 

I so love you platonically.

*Beren finally gets around to making himself some breakfast*

Scrambled eggs with diced onions, tomatoes, and bacon, two pieces of toast with butter and Vegemite, and a glass of OJ. Y'all may proceed to wail in jealousy.

Yeah, well I'm going for brunch at a fancy artisanal restaurant this morning, where they have a cocktail called Morning Effervesence, so there!

Ampersand 27, y'all should look at the menu, it's crazy.

Without looking, I guarantee they don't have fried okra!

 

Adding after looking up menu:  Oh!  Well it's not what I thought, exactly.  It may not be on the menu, but I am curious now if maybe it is available upon request.

And the thing is, it costs so much money! Why?! Why do people do it?! It honestly baffles me why people put themselves in debt for a wedding that they do not need.

 

And the amount of people they invite?! Why the feck are you inviting people you barely know?!

I find it's really difficult to go okra in Edmonton; they likely wouldn't.

Besides, that's not the point! Quinoa oatmeal and all the other eyebrow raising dishes are!

Well on the subject of big weddings I mean I am of two minds, your mind, agree one hundred percent.  Or reallllly nerd out and like get married on a mock up of the Normandy or Stargate Command or an Andrastian Chantry.

Probably not worth arguing this through today. Suffice to say there are reasons. Some religious, some traditional, some family or friend-driven, some sentimental, some practical. Weddings are not purely irrational or pointless to a lot of people.

Wouldn't that technically be quinoameal, if it's not oat?

It is important for some people. How can you decide what others need or don't?

 

About the money, I guess it doesn't have to cost a fortune if one investigates properly. I agree with you on the inviting people thing though.

I want to get married if I meet the right person and sure as hell very few people will be invited.

Went OOL right there, Miss T

 

What the heck, I'll reinstate my ETA'd irrelevant comment since it's apparently a conversation:  I view marriage to be sacred, which is why I am not married.  I've not met the woman to spend the rest of my life with.  May never happen now at this point in my life, but I suppose never say never.

Yeah, the size thing I find is usually more a matter of family pressure than of the couple's desires. Obviously there are plenty of couples who say "this day is about us, so if we don't want a big wedding, we're not having a big wedding." But I see many times where the couple wants a small wedding but the parents want to invite everyone who has ever been in their child's life (and/or they are super worried about "offending" someone by not inviting them), and the couple loses that argument. And when someone's parents are paying for the wedding (which happens a lot), they kind of get a certain degree of sway there.

 

On principle, I agree that the oversized weddings are silly. And I do think that the couple should really be the deciding people. But I recognize that relationships and parental approval tend to be very important to a lot of people and that for them, the benefit of keeping everyone else happy ends up being considered worth the hassle of the big wedding. (And hey, upshot: a lot more wedding presents)

[Tragedienne of Heavens]

Yeah, you're probably right. Well at least on my side I'm good- my family is not very big and my parents are not the most social people so...

I meant porridge, lol. I just woke up.

If I get married I want both our families there and our close friends. If that ends up being 50 or 200 people, so be it. I won't invite someone I talk to once a year, but I do want a fairytale wedding with a strong number of people.

I'm going to rent a ballroom and that does look a little awkard with just 10 people milling about. It's an important celebration, I don't want it to feel lacklustre.

I cannot decide between some sort of "waking up weird yawn" thing or, as Rivaini points out, a crucifixion scenario.  Great shot either way!

I didn't mean to end the conversation! Geeze guys, I was just sharing my thoughts on how I want my hypothetical wedding to go...

I'VE FINALLY RUN OUT OF LIKES! I was beginning to think I was immune.

 

That screenshot is indeed hilarious. I am not terribly good at captioning though.

 

Poodle, don't take it personally. Marriage is important/meaningful to people, that's all. No one's saying it has to be important/meaningful to you!

Seriously nobody appreciates the brilliant creepiness of Corypheus seranading the Inquisitor?

I'm ending my participation on account of how my mind and my fingers tend to side against me on matters like this. It's not because of any one or more people. Just me.
