53 Thoughts From A Single Person At A Wedding
Storypickers

Weddings: the crown jewel of celebrations, the party of all parties, the ceremony of the ultimate step in a relationship!

... gross.

Or so I thought as I watched my friends and my family members stroll down the aisle to bind themselves to another human for the rest of their lives.

Being the single person (without a plus one) at a wedding is never easy. Your closest companion throughout the event is the bar and the dancefloor, but you make it work for yourself, or so you thought. However, some things may cross the mind of a single pringle witnessing holy matrimony. These are just a few:

1. Ugh, I hate weddings.

2. Ew, they're so cute.

3. These decorations are so cliché.

4. Do they really need all of these centerpieces?

5. I wonder how much of this crap came from a Pinterest board.

6. Oh, good choice in music.

7. Look at them, getting married and stuff.

8. Please, no one cry. I can't handle tears.

9. STOP CRYING MY MAKEUP WILL RUN.

10. I need someone to hold my hand right now.

11. Why am I single?

12. Wait, I know why.

13. Thank God that's over.

14. Where's the bar?

15. There it is.

16. I need someone to flirt with.

17. This day isn't about me, though.

18. But it doesn't hurt to be a little social.

19. Is there anyone else here that's single and cute and remotely my age?

20. Oh, come on.

21. Aaaaaand all the couples are dancing.

22. Maybe I'll ask someone to dance.

23. Maybe the love of my life will show up and this will be the most magical night ever.

24. Oh, they're kissing again.

25. Why does this DJ suck so much?

26. I might as well dance.

27. I hope no one is judging the fact that I'm dancing alone.

28. I don't really care, but still.

29. Time for speeches. Hopefully, no one embarrasses themselves.

30. I really hope someone embarrasses themselves.

31. That was so cute.

32. Am I about to cry?

33. MORE KISSING GAH WHY.

34. Where's the cake?

35. I want this one day.

36. Can't I just fall in love and have my own sappy story?

37. Wait, ew, no.

38. They really are so cute.

39. I love her dress.

40. She could have picked something better for her bridesmaids though. Yuck.

41. I'm so happy for them.

42. But they're making the biggest mistake of their lives.

43. I need another drink.

44. Where's the bride, I wanna dance with her.

45. I wonder if she has any single friends that I can dance with.

46. No, stop this is not about you.

47. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

48. I LOVE THIS SONG.

49. I wonder if the photographer took a picture of me.

50. Hopefully, I don't look too lonely.

51. This is so beautiful.

52. They are so happy.

53. I love weddings.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
