To be upset that I've never been invited to a wedding?

[Weddingwoe]

I am 26 and I have never been to a wedding in my life. It may seem daft, but I find it quite upsetting for a few reasons. Whenever I see threads on MN about weddings I always feel a bit wistful. When I see photos on facebook etc, everyone there always looks like they're having an absolute ball, including all the guests. No wedding is on the horizon for me as I'm single. I would love to just be a guest at someone else's. It feels weird to have never been to one at this age. Are they really as amazing as I'm imagining them to be?

I've been to two weddings, neither of the weddings were fun, I was bored shit less. And I didn't get in any of the photos. Weddings suck

Wow. So negative on here. You know you can always decline if you don't like weddings?

I've been to about 20 weddings. Most in the last 5 years (I'm 33). I've enjoyed nearly all of them although it's true that they're generally better for being less formal/closer friends/more considerate of guests. Seeing people you love so so happy and meeting all of their loved ones is brilliant fun as is catching up with people you haven't seen in ages.

OP don't worry. Late twenties you'll probably see a flurry all at once. Start saving now!

The only wedding I didn't enjoy was one at the end of November and it was freezing. The venue had no/inadequate heating and I was so cold I couldn't think of anything else.

None of my friends or family have had horrible weddings. They have mostly been informal affairs and didn't cost us the earth to attend.

Those of you who haven't enjoyed attending weddings must have high maintenance friends and families.

I love weddings. I never get the hate for them you see here.

You are probably a little young for loads of weddings (although no family ones when you were little?). They will come and then you'll be trying to plan how to get away with only two different outfits for the six you have to attend in a single summer (well, that group will be at this one, but not that one, so I can wear that dress again)....

I've been to a lot of weddings all good in their own special way. I decided after the last wedding I went to where the travel and accommodation and clothes to wear for it cost more than what we actually spent on the day itself that I would only maybe attend them if I could come back to my own home afterwards.

Used to really like them. Not so much now.
