11 Thoughts You Have As A Guest At A Wedding

In This Article:

Last week, my family traveled to another state for my cousin's wedding. I was looking forward to it since I haven't been to many weddings in my life. Even though the whole thing was just a few hours long, I still enjoyed myself.

Here are some of the thoughts I had during this time.

1. I’m not even sure what proper wedding attire is.

I personally haven't been to a lot of weddings, so I didn't know what to wear.

2. This venue is quite unique.

This wedding was at a bourbon distillery. I didn't even know such a place hosted weddings.

3. I only know, like, a dozen people here.

You can assume that everyone you don't know is from the other side of the union.

4. The bride’s dress is so pretty.

5. That’s so sweet that the bride and groom are getting emotional at the altar.

It's one of the most special days of their lives, so it's perfectly natural to cry in the moment.

6. Wow, the whole wedding part was over quick.

In this case, the wedding ceremony was maybe 10 minutes long.

7. I didn’t know wedding photos took so long.

That is, if the couple does their photos between the wedding and reception.

8. Some people are really taking advantage of the open bar.

In the case of this particular wedding, the fact that there was an open bar made sense. Some guests tried one drink while others went up multiple times throughout the night.

9. The meal is fancier than most restaurant food.

Which is to be expected.

10. There are so many desserts besides the wedding cake, not that it’s an issue.

I think I ate more desserts than actual food.

11. I’m looking forward to my wedding even though I’m single.

Though that day may be distant in the future, it's still fun to think about.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
