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.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

16. You will try to convince yourself that you can handle everything.

17. Finals week will try to kill you.

18. You won't like everyone, but you will find your best friends sooner or later.

20. Enjoy it, because you will be sad when it is all over.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
