People complaining about ‘not’ being able to have a wedding

[JackieWeaverHandforthCouncil]

Am I the only person who’s getting a bit annoyed with all the people whining about ‘not’ being able to have a wedding?

They can get married and the limits of max 30 will go but guests have to socially distance, there will be limits on singing and you can’t have international guests.

Yes you can’t have 100 people hugging but people have always been allowed to get married throughout the pandemic.

There was a woman complaining on the press conference that she’s being prevented from moving on with her life? Another was saying not being able to get married is giving her mental health issues. How? She can still get married, it may not be the Insta wedding she expected but the legal bit can still happen. Have the party bit later.

I feel a lot more sorrow for people trying to organise funerals who can’t have all the guests they want.

My dd ended up with a 15 people no reception wedding last year after rearranging thinking things would improve. Her sibling couldn't go due to his local restrictions. We stood outside afterwards, had a quick drink, no food. Photos with masks. No hugging to congratulate dd. We made the best of it for dd sake.

Perhaps I'm not grateful enough and should count my blessings.
The truth is I could easily sit and cry over what we didn't get.
I feel that I missed out. My dd is happy though, at least she tells me so.

You can be annoyed all you like but until it happens to you then you have no idea how it feels.

You ended up with someone you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. Isn't that enough?

@lotstolose1

I agree. But I can see a hell of a lot disagree too.

I'm fed up of listening to the moaning. The most important part should be the couple getting married and your closest family and friends to share it with

Exactly. It just shows how shallow people are if all they are focused on is the big wedding etc. Marriage is not just about the wedding.

My wedding day was the best day of my life. It's a big important and exciting life event and when you look forward to something and have to keep postponing, it sucks the joy away. I wouldn't want a wedding with all the current restrictions either.

But I don't agree with it putting people in limbo and they can't get on with their lives. You can still do the legal bit if you want to have kids or get a mortgage etc.

"Exactly. It just shows how shallow people are if all they are focused on is the big wedding etc.
Marriage is not just about the wedding."

Yeah! Let's all be miserable fuckers and never take any joy from anything!

Gosh there are some misery guts around here, or so narrow minded they must have a pathetic life.

Who cares if you can't have a wedding, a party ,go on holiday, see your family? Be grateful!

Miserable life if you are content with the mere basics if you ask me. And it shows in the posts

In your haste to post a snarky reply you didn’t even read the post you quoted, because the poster was very clearly talking about their daughter’s wedding, not their own.

Why does wanting a big celebration mean you're shallow, attention seeking or just doing it for Instagram? What a depressing outlook.

Has it not occurred to you that people simply want to celebrate with people who mean something to them and it's not always easy to put a cap on that number?

… which is what many people want to do, but they can’t have their closest family and friends there… because of Covid! That’s the whole point.

I swear i wonder sometimes if I’m reading a different thread to other posters.

you are not, but some posters can't comprehend that someone has more than 1 friend, or can be close to family!

So simple, and yet so difficult to grasp.

My mum always used to tut at big weddings and say "it's just an excuse for a party".

To which I would say "yes it is. So what? Parties are fun".

There's a certain type of person who, in their haste to vilify brides for losing all their senses at the thought of a wedding, loses all their senses at the thought of a wedding.

@UrAWizHarry parties are fun you are right.
Have a party then. You don't need to get married for that.

Miserable? Or grateful just to have a life?

Well done 👏 However what I said still applies.

Of course why should anyone be grateful? Jeez the only miserable thing is how entitled and needy people are to have this big wedding. Seriously people are dying in a pandemic. Get married for the right reasons not for a party!

Some posters can't comprehend that people seem to be upset more at not being able to have a party rather than focusing on getting married to the person they love.

But it's nice to do both, isn't it?

And people get to be upset that they can't celebrate what is, to many people, an incredibly important event with their friends and family.

Miserable? Or grateful just to have a life?

What about grateful to have a GREAT life?

@UrAWizHarry of course it is.
However there is currently a pandemic so unfortunately things have to be adapted.
The most important thing is marrying the person you love. Everything else is a bonus

@khakiandcoral

What about grateful to have a GREAT life?

😂😂seriously. There are people dying of Covid. Put things into perspective about what a 'great' life is.

Some posters can't comprehend that people seem to be upset more at not being able to have a party rather than focusing on getting married to the person they love.

No, I cannot comprehend that. My weddings was ace, maybe a tad extravagant, but a fantastic day. A great marriage needs to a great start if you ask me.

Technically, we could have just signed a couple of forms in a registry office with the minimal legal witness.

The HONEYMOON was the time to concentrate exclusively on each other.

LIfe is grim enough, if you don't even want to celebrate your WEDDING, it's miserable.

*wedding - not sure why I put a plural, I have only been married once

Wow. I want. I want.

It's actually quite shocking how entitled people are.

There are people dying of Covid.

So? All the more reasons to celebrate with the ones who are not dead yet. You (or they) might get run over or have a stroke tomorrow for all you know.
