I am going to be married soon and I think this is great! My boyfriend and I won't be protesting anything at our ceremony, but it will be similarly un-fussy and un-expensive and definitely un-frilly.

At age 34, I did get married this year. We were deep in the planning stages and realized that even the small wedding we were planning was quickly approaching $10,000. At that point and after the family from other states started raising a stink about us not having it there, we said "Screw this" and got married in the backyard. Our local friends & neighbors helped out with stuff, and it basically turned into a weekend-long block party.

It was awesome.

Let me say that being a bridesmaid actually damaged my friendships with a few of the women who asked me. Friends I thought were the sweetest, most loving and laid-back people in the world mutated into vicious harpies with zero consideration for the time, expense and feelings of others. And once one bride behaves this way, all the female friends she tortured and made broke for the next 6 months will feel entitled to do the same.

This is why I plan to have small and intimate affair; immediate family, best friends and no bridal party.

some one had to do something about weddings. Its the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Lets begin our married life by accumulating thousands of dollars in debt on an elaborate ceremony and after party. I got an anti wedding for you. Don't get married, and then have drinks with friends at your place.
