Weddings

This weekend, my brother Nate is getting married to a girl he’s been in a relationship with for 6 years. They get three weddings: one small one with immediate family (because of COVID), one huge celebration this summer, and a giant reception in India (since Priyanka is Indian). This has made me think about what I want my own wedding to be like. Part of me wants to elope because a wedding sounds excessive. On the other hand, you get more gifts for a big celebration. So basically I’m weighing my two worst traits: laziness and greed. I guess we’ll see which wins out. What do y’all want your weddings to be like (if you want to get married at all)?

Congratulations!! I remember when he told my group that he planned to propose, and I believe I was promised an invitation. But nevertheless, I’m happy for them, and please give them my best.

Yours truly,
Hunter

I’m so sorry Hunter. Since it was only immediate family, I think he changed the qualifications to go to his wedding just to exclude you.
Yours truly,

Hey Abbie! Congrats to your brother! I love this post; it honestly really got me thinking!! I honestly feel like I won't get married because my standards are extremely high, but if someone decides to put up with me, I'd definitely want a mid-sized wedding, crazy fun reception, and honeymoon somewhere really dope. I'd probably have the guest list be just family and close friends with a plus one for each invite. I've also always wanted to visit Australia, and I feel like it's a perfect spot for a honeymoon.
