If the right person is there and its set to happen, yeah there's quite a bit of fun anticipation.
But if you're set of that being a 'life goal' regardless of sensible expectations and the right circumstances. Yeah, you're going to be horribly disappointed and probably one of those serial-monogamy types that eventually get married and divorced 5 times.

An important and meaningful day, yes - but THE most important day? Are you fucking kidding me? Do modern women have nothing better to aspire to? Lol.
I also read some shit on FB reposted from some idiot's blog saying that "all women have been planning a wedding secretly their entire life". Wtf??!!
Yeah, dream big, ladies!!

Well, if you want to look at it another way, most of the world is full of culturally backward people kept in line with their peers and parents beliefs.
Seriously, once you get out of most 'developed' countries it gets a lot, lot worse! Most of Africa, middle east and parts of asia really are dragging their knuckles in the dust of the middle ages traditions (on a good day) and the rest of the world is still faffing around trying to fit 19th century morality into the square hole that is 200 years later 'because mum and dad would be happy'.

And don't get me wrong - I actually do value marriage, I just don't put the actual wedding day up there with life's most important moments. It's just so fucking insane to me, haha.

I feel like agreeing with my wife regarding something that happened today, but I wonder how hypocritical it would be.
Today was her granduncle's one year remembrance service at her cousin's home (no idea how to say this in English, he's been dead for a year and they had this thing to keep the memory alive/pray for him), and ma petite was a bit hurt that her cousin (his granddaughter) and her boyfriend locked themselves in one of the bedrooms because it was a Buddhist service and they're born-again Christians. Although I feel like taking her side - I missed them as well - we usually go to church whenever there's a celebratory mass for a deceased member of my family, but I wait by the door/on the stairs because I've got some scars from being raised Catholic myself.
So, even though I feel "not being from the same religion" is hardly a good reason not to attend, the consequences are pretty much the same... we all wait outside, full stop.
Any problems with this line of thought?

Its one thing to wait outside but did they have to lock themselves into a room? That is kind of silly. I will wait outside as well, i dont lock myself in some room, afraid that jesus will come and drag me into a church.
Also, tell them the devil doesnt care about locked doors and that they are now infected by demons simply by being in the same house where the witchcraft went on.

Yet another pointless social construct because of religious differences.
As above, I agree that it's childish to lock yourself in the room. No one is going to smite you with a thunderbolt for being in the same room as people of another faith.
