Why do women see wedding differently than men?

Why do women have this giant fantasy about having is fair tale wedding? What’s the big deal?

hmm i don't know...something to do with all those bridal magazines maybe..or seeing a beautiful wedding on a movie when younger..i suppose to a girl, her wedding day makes her feel like a queen..all dressed up..the star of the show so to speak...everyone commenting on her gown..and then you have those royal weddings, which look like fairy tale land..the carriage with the bride riding to her wedding...i don't know...

Its an ego trip for them. its an "its all about me thing" thats why they always want big extravagant ones. meanwhile the guy just wants the damn thing over with.

Because as the man is walking down the aisle he sould pay attention to it. And look closely at the altar. And listen to the hymm. Because that is waht his soon to be wife is thinking: I'll alter him!

No seriously. Why is that I put a ring on HER finger and cut off MY circulation?!?! 😛


Stick around folks I got a million of 'em!

Careful buddy. You have no idea what all women want. Don't assume because a few post flowery things in a wedding thread that they're speaking for us all.

My wedding was a big giant stupid production that I would have pulled my own teeth out to have avoided - and I assure you I wasn't the one who had to have it that way. That was my now ex-husband.

And when it was time to cut the giant over decorated bad tasting cake where was I to be found? Doing shots at the bar, thank you very much.

MY circulation NOT his was cut off in my marriage. He liked to say the same thing you did above, but he was the one who was overly controlling, overly possessive, massively insecure, and COMPLETELY selfish and self-centered. Had I seen through his mask BEFORE the wedding, it NEVER would have happened.

Ik70, IF I knew how to do two quotes I would have quoted you about not wanting a big production. I would have been happy with a judge, the groom, me, and two phones. The phones to call our parents on and tell them, "OK, listen up, this is it."

I had a beautiful wedding that I slaved to make so well within a modest budget because OTHER people wanted more of a production, including, and most insistently (critical and NOT helpful) the groom! (Yeah, yeah...should have seen through the mask then; I was SLOW.) It was nice, I enjoyed it, lost a few pounds in the planning process (didn't need to at the time, but hey, take what you can get or lose, right?), and was happy that all attendees had a good time. Would I do it again? ONLY if the groom wanted more of a production. I still don't.

Not all women have this idea of a fantasy wedding. Personally, I'm fine with being in my jeans and t-shirt at the courthouse with a justice of the peace. I don't need anything flashy and don't desire anything fantasy or flashy-like.

 

[MrPartickler]

Ok not all, but most. C'mon, guys didn't make this stuff up! LOL
Actually, where are all the folks from the "dream wedding" thread? 😛

 

[BrightEyes1082]

I'm in the middle of planning my dream wedding, and it happens to be on a very modest budget. All decisions (well, major ones anyway) were made by both of us together. We are only having 80 guests, so it will be rather intimate. I just want a really nice, elegant wedding that everyone will enjoy and remember for years to come. It's not about how much money you spend. Although, if any of you have seen the show "Bridezillas" where they spend sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars on extravagant weddings, and are completely insensitive to everything around them, including their grooms, then you know those brides really do exist.

Probably planning their dream weddings!

yep, mine is pretty much all planned but I just need the groom lolol!

Good for you! I think it's important to know what you want and do what you can ahead of time to get there and make it happen. Hopefully, whoever the groom turns out to be will appreciate you and your efforts.

Really like your angel sig pic, by the way. And, AM also glad you have none of those supposed illnesses that come with March birthdays! I didn't want to impose how I thought you felt about that in "the-person-above-you thread, so I just stuck to the facts as you stated.

Probably because it's the groom's dad who is expected to blow away half his retirement nest egg on a social disaster where nobody gives a shit. Everybody gets drunk on his dime then goes home to watch TV.

The new 'union' will dissolve within 2 years anyway.

Let's hope the poor old fart learned something.
And let's hope he had only one daughter.

The bride's family (per etiquette) typically pays for the wedding, which is what you seem to say at the end of above, so perhaps your initial typing of the "groom's dad" was a typo. The groom or his family typically (per etiquette) pay for rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon.

I think any wedding over $5,000 is wasting money. why spend $20,000 or so on a wedding that will be gone and forgotten in one day. id rather buy a brand new car that youll have for years and years. or put the money down on a deposit for a house youll own maybe your whole life.

When I was twenty-28 or so, I once attended a wedding at a Southern Baptist church. One of the ushers was a hulk of a man, about 60 years old, in a suit with a big jolly face and a Texas accent that sounded remarkably like Foghorn Leghorn. He was a local farmer who owned a lot of land that he sold to developers and did quite well.

We chatted briefly and I said something like, "You know. I hope to one day be walking down that aisle."

He puts a fatherly hand on my shoulder and says, "Let me tell you something, son. Marriage...is like taking a hot bath. Once you're in it a while, it ain't so hot!" He followed up the punchline with a healthy clap to my shoulder. I really loved that guy.

I never did walk the aisle though. I got married at the Justice of the Peace. So, that's one bullet I dodged. 😀

A wedding can be very involving all the way around or very private . But I think women from when their girls look forward to the day of having a husband and being in love . A wedding/marriage is a very special time especially to a woman and that's a nice thing .

What? To knock the crap out of you for all the farting you've done over the years? 😛 😛

 

[TicklishLurker]

I don't see it as a big fairy tale thing.

I see it as the most frightening thing in the world.

Marry someone? Be stuck with them forever? *shudders* I couldn't imagine a worse fate.

I'm commitment phobic.
