Covid, Weddings and Coronavirus: Covid 19 ain't going anywhere

Covid 19 ain't going anywhere

By Anonymous - 10/07/2020 23:01

Today, my fiancé and I decided to just have a small wedding and have a big reception later, out of concern for everyone’s health and safety. My mother won’t stop asking us, “What’s the point now?” I thought our marriage was the point. FML

Get out while you still can

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML

Today, my fiancé told me that he was having second thoughts on our engagement. Instead of just calling it off, he took me to a fancy restaurant and took a public poll on whether we should get married. The majority said no. FML

Don't get it

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Best day of your life

Today, I don’t usually ask much from my dad because I know how incapable he is but after two years delaying my wedding due to Covid restrictions, I thought I could at least ask him to stay sober long enough to walk me down the aisle. More fool me I suppose. FML

Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML

Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML

It's not unusual

Today, I asked my fiancé if we could get legally married at the courthouse before we had the big wedding ceremony, just to quell my irrational fear of being left at the altar. He agreed, then didn’t show up at the courthouse. Nightmare realized. FML

Today, my father-in-law decided he was going to just completely take over our engagement party, so now my fiancé just wants to go to Reno and get married there. FML

Today, my fiancée told me she can't marry me. Our wedding day is tomorrow and around 20 of our 180 guests attending have travelled half way around the world just for the occasion. FML

Today, at a dinner I'd been planning for months with my fiancé to talk to our families about the wedding for the first time, he told me he didn't want to get married. I cried in front of both of our families and a dozen of strangers. FML

Forget her. It's you and your fiancé's day. If she can't be on board, she may not need to participate on your day. Also, I commend you on your decision to try to stay safe. I'm sure that was a hard decision.

Your marriage isn't the point. Otherwise, everyone would just get married at a courthouse. You and your thug husband are screwing your mom out of one of the best days of her life. That's the point!

You need your sarcasmometer recalibrated. Your detector is not registering an "Obvious."

Your sarcasm is more difficult to detect here.

The fact that I'm writing it here should be a pretty big clue! How often do you see me being sincere here?

Sorry, I deleted my original reply. Your second paragraph was definitely more sarcastic than the first, so I got confused.

Point, I suppose.

It's your wedding, it's your choice. It's between you and your fiancé; the rest of the family gets no say in it. They should be grateful you're both even holding a reception later when it's safe to do so.
