Weddings and Love: No future

No future

By singlegirl - 27/11/2009 18:16 - United Kingdom

Today, I went to my best friend's wedding. All my friends and their boyfriends were seated at one table, while I, as the only single girl in the group, was put on a table with all the other single people. They were all over forty years older than me. I feel like I have seen my future. FML

Today, I attended my best friend's wedding. Instead of throwing her bouquet, she turned around and handed it to me. I was the only single lady out of 150 guests. FML

Today, I went to my friend's beautiful wedding. The only other single girl there was 5 years old. She caught the bouquet. FML

Today, I found out that my friends finally scheduled their wedding. The entire friend group of the groom, which I am part of, is in the wedding. Except me. If I go I’ll have to watch my boyfriend, who is a groomsman, walk down the aisle with one of the bride’s friends on his arm while I sit alone. FML

Today, my older sister told me about their table plan at their wedding. She is one of my best friends too, so I was shocked that I had been placed far away, and separated from my husband. FML

Today, I saw yet another dear friend from uni get married, living the good life in their new home. Here am I in my 30s, with no love life, and feeling like that's never going to be for me. FML

A day to remember

Today, I arrived at my best friend's wedding and found out that my invitation was no longer valid. His brother tried to explain that they'd decided to make the ceremony for family members only, then two our classmates popped out to say hello. They're not related, neither to my friend nor to his fiancée. FML

Today, I watched my best friend get married to the guy I have been in love with since the eighth grade. I was the maid of honor, and had to give a toast to the couple. FML

Today, I had to sit through the wedding of my best friend and the love of my life, and pretend to be happy for them. FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML

Today, I was on Facebook looking at pictures of my boyfriend, who was in his friend's wedding this past weekend. He said that none of the girlfriends could come because it would cost too much for the couple. I spent the weekend alone, and all his friend's girlfriends are in the pictures. FML

lol At least your FML didn't end with "And that didn't stop them from hitting on me. FML." :P

That must have sucked for the old folks too, being lumped together with other divorcees/widowers/widows - like they need a reminder of being on their own! Your friend is really inconsiderate!

More like ROTD. Did they put you "on" the table so you'd entertain the fogies?

No that's how seating usually goes at wedding. Sit couples, if there's leftover, then throw in the single friend. Maybe try to group singles who know each together if you can. If not, next time bring a date so you'll be with the couples. Hire someone if you have to.

No, it's rude. They could have found her a spot with people her own age. It was very inconsiderate.

The sad thing is that they were once married and now are either widowed or divorced.

No, it's not. People hook up with people they meet at weddings, and sometimes end up getting married themselves.

Agreed with 2, 3, and 6. Why do some people CARE SO MUCH about these things, anyway? Oh bawww I'm young and single, somehow this determines that I'll never get a boyfriend/girlfriend! I need someone to validate my being!

For real, people are in such a hurry to be paired up. Just remember guys, 50% of marriages end in divorce. So don't jump in too quickly.

You must be one of these stuck-up bitches that has [airquotes] standards [/airquotes]. Lower them until you can find some douchebag in need of sex and sammiches. I could also read this to mean that you met Prince Charming at the "singles' table." It kinda worked for Anna Nicole Smith for a while, until it didn't. It may suck for you, but you could make some old guy VERY happy and let him shuffle off this mortal coil with a BANG and not a whimper. That could be good for some sweet cash! ;)
