This "storybook" wedding was painful to watch. I will venture to say that any psychologist/psychiatrist was most likely pulling their hair out. On the rehearsal dinner night, they were fighting so much so that they didn't even sit at the same table to have dinner. Are you kidding me?! I haven't gone through the wedding planning experience, but I know that tensions run high, and that couples get into arguments over stupid things. Not them. These were HUGE issues.Watching them interact with each other, listening to their conversations... it was obvious that they hardly knew each other at all.
There is a point to wasting my blog on Kim Kardashian. Watching this made me think about how many people I know that are so ready to jump into marriage. That's all they can think about. I want to voice that there is no rush to making a life long commitment to someone. The absolute smartest thing you can do is take your time. Value the time before you're married- work on yourself, work on the relationship, work on communication, on getting settled into a career, wait until you're both in the same place and are done with moving, etc. I guarantee the road will be a lot smoother. I would like to think I have a strong case here.
Here are some photos from the "fairytale."
In between the four hour long special, Kelly and I ventured to Flying Cupcake in broad ripple. After we watched the cake tasting on the show, we were craving some!
They were so incredibly yummy. For the record, I ate one there and took one home. :)
Hope your weekends were wonderful. Busy, exciting week ahead! Homecoming is on Friday and I'm only working until Thursday. Hooray for four day work weeks.
love you e,
love, t.
*some reality television shows that I can't stop watching: anything on Bravo (Rachel Zoe, Real Housewives, Top Chef), The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Project Runway, and that's about it. I'm not that bad, am I?
I have to say, regretfully, I watched it too. Pretty much in horror of what I saw ... and at myself. :) It's probably the worst that I've watched in terms of reality television. Except sometimes I watch the Jersey Shore for laughs. Does that count? They aren't trying to sell a fairy tale so I almost think it's better. Did I just type that?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, you are right. There is absolutely no need to rush into marriage! Marriage should be done when both parties are ready, not at the urging of anyone's expectations.
