Just Wondering - Have You Ever Met Anyone At A Wedding?

[WerzMyHedAt]

Just that really.

I've spent all my life single except for 1 relationship where we basically carried on our lives separately.

So I've always attended weddings alone. Often not knowing any people other than bride and groom!

I love getting dressed up, seeing the bride's dress, having a tipple and getting a nice slab of cake ngl.

But god I get so bored.

I've always worked in sales so I'm very good at chatting to people and I'm very friendly.

But I've found most other guests to be quite unresponsive.

I wonder, can they not really be bothered because they know we'll never meet again? Am I being delusional to have hope that in attending, I could potentially meet a new friend or even a future date?

I have yet another wedding coming up this summer. It's a 2 hour drive away and I just think... I really can't be bothered any more.

But maybe THIS one would be the one event where I connect with someone.

Unlikely though, right? Or...?

I know the point of a wedding is to celebrate others' love. But I'm kinda done celebrating other people. I've given enough, honestly. I think its time to start being more selfish in life.

....I do have a really gorgeous dress to wear, though.

I met my husband at a wedding. Two friends got together at our wedding.

How old are you? In my early 30s I snogged someone at a few weddings in a row but didn’t lead to relationships

37

I did “meet someone”’(seated next to at friend’s wedding) but he was more interested than I was.

I met my (now) hubby at friends wedding. He was best man, I was friend of bride. They are now divorced. 45 years later we are still together.

At my wedding we invited one of my university friends and one of my friends from work. They had met previously and we thought that my work friend’s brother would be a good match for my uni friend so we invited him too, and introduced them.
They’ve now been married for 20 years!
It makes me thrilled that my wedding could be a catalyst for love and a new family.

My brother met his wife of 16 years and counting at a wedding.

I met my DH at a wedding

We set up our mates getting together at our wedding resulted (nearly 20 years later) in the most successful marriage I know😅

My sister met her husband at her friends wedding. That was 10 years ago.

OP you sound like a laugh. I would be your plus one if I could be remotely arsed going to weddings any more 🤣

Just to add that I also met my husband at a wedding! I was a friend of the bride, he was a friend of the groom.

My best friend met her husband at a wedding

Years ago when single I met a man at my cousins wedding. He was a friend of her brothers. We had a great time at the wedding and dated for a while after, look back on it with fondness.

My friend met her husband of twenty years at a wedding. He was the best man.
