End The Plague Of Boring Weddings
How many times have you been to a formulaic wedding where the prime interest is the three course dinner and the beauty of the bride?
Boring.
I went to a wedding with my girlfriend a few months ago. It was a very lavish affair held at a hotel outside of the city. The wedding ceremony was held in a separate wing of the hotel and then we moved to the large reception room for dinner.
We ate salmon entrée, followed by Filet Mignon and finally wedding cake for desert.
After which point we did a toast, heard speeches, and then drunkenly squashed ourselves onto the few tiles of dance floor to dance along to the DJ’d hip hop and pop music.
After this seven hour bonanza of watching, waiting, photos, toasting, drinking, and eating, I felt ready to go home and left with little feeling of having celebrated a personal event but rather something more akin to attending a soulless Darling Harbour affair.
I know that the family must’ve spent at least 30k to ‘entertain’ us that day.
I couldn’t help feeling sympathy for all their hard earned efforts when both my girl and I agreed that it was ‘nothing special’.
So, I know this sounds crazy – but my curiosity has led me to do a little research on the matter and here is what I have come up with. Also, maybe then I won’t feel like I’ve lost another 7 hours of my life merely waiting around and getting drunk.
Here are some ideas on how to have a bit of fun with the ‘best day of your life’.
Have a Goth Wedding – it doesn’t have to be tacky to be badass.
