Weddings are like fairy tale endings... they are just the beginning, actually.
And most people fumble the "maintenance" of the relationship all the time.
And just like Patriotism, Christmas and Thanksgiving, Weddings are too commercialized for their own good in our country.
Gimme a small chapel and a few witnesses and lots of honesty and hard work. | |

Do weddings make you jealous that someone else has found love and you are alone? I just came from a beautiful wedding. I saw two people in love. I was jealous, because I don't have that. Or do that make you hopeful that there's someone out there for you?
I am certainly not jealous of those getting married. Show me a couple who's still in love after 10+++ years of marriage and I may feel a slight pang of envy. I don't feel like I'm missing a thing simply because I choose to be alone. And the whole concept of marriage in and of itself isn't something I would ever be jealous of. I don't need a piece of paper to know where my heart resides, but I respect those who want that. JMO  | |

Posted: 6/28/2012 9:47:26 PM | I think I was jealous of the wedding, not the marriage (May/December) is not my kinda thing.
It was beautiful, the bride was beautiful, her gown was beautiful, the decorations were beautiful, the band was amazing, and they were in love. | |

Posted: 6/29/2012 10:28:06 AM | | No, weddings definitely don't make me jealous. Two of my siblings got married within the past couple of years, and I felt more nervous/anxious for them than jealous. I'm on board with the people who consider the high divorce rate. I take marriage very seriously and really see it as a life-long commitment (one I'd be ridiculously nervous to make myself), so when I see others getting married, I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping they're really confident in whatever they have. | |

No, you don't...
Late last year I got an email in my work inbox asking for people to crash a wedding for a couple of "second time arounders" -- neither of them had family or friends that lived locally. They were getting married at the Strand (local foreshore) and wanted to share the day with anyone that still believed that love is possible.
He wore a cotton shirt, and she wore a sun frock --
Mid way through the ceremony they threw their old wedding rings into the ocean to make way for the new ones...
I still think this is one of the best weddings I have ever been to.
(Oh, and I took those little bottles of bubbles and handed them out to children and random people because, bubbles are fun)
Nobody was jealous... | |

3ffervescent,
Sounds like an awesome expression of love for each other...... focussing on them instead of the "event".
Rich or poor (especially poor), the wedding event seems to be too consuming.
Some say that you should make it something special to remember....
Do you remember how much it costs and the difficulties it took to arrange?
Or does the memory support a love for each other that continues to change and grow?
Now being back to looking at "rags" (rags to riches to rags)....
I wonder if I will find that true love?
Because... although I don't need financial support.... I can only spend to pay food and rent....
.... and she would have to love me for me and me only..... Dinner dates I can't afford.
Weddings don't make me jealous of the commitment of love that couples have for each other...
...it just gives me a dread feeling because I grew up poor. | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 2:14:45 PM | I love weddings... they are big parties with dancing and lots of people having a good time.
But I am in no way jealous!
I don't long to have a husband again, so there's no reason for me to envy them.
Love, yes -- marriage, I don't think so. | |

I suppose I might feel envious, especially when the couple are deeply in love with one another and appear to have a wonderful future ahead of them. But jealous, no, why would one feel jealous unless one were the unsuccessful pursuer of one of the principals in the wedding? | |

Posted: 6/30/2012 3:05:46 PM | I am not envious or jealous in any way.
No way.
Not in the least.
No. Uh uh.
Never.
Stop asking me.
Good Bye. | |

Posted: 7/2/2012 9:12:28 AM | I love the way people are saying, nope, not me, I'm not jealous,then talk about jealously being a negative emotion and following up by saying that the reason they are not jealous is because weddings are a waste of money, divorce is imminent and brides uglify after a few years.
The poster was asking whether people are jealous AT weddings, not OF weddings, of the couple's relationship. And I'm wondering if she had really meant "envious" instead of "jealous". | |

Posted: 7/2/2012 2:51:11 PM | Lol, jealous of what? It's not like they're the only people who get to have a wedding! These people going to weddings can or will likely have a wedding of their own someday. A wedding is very special but many people do put too much emphasis on them and don't seem to realize that the important thing is having a successful marriage.
How often do you hear people say "Well we got divorced as it just didn't work out, but we had a beautiful wedding", lol. If you're marriage doesn't work out, nobody will care how nice or how expensive your wedding was, though they might comment on what a waste of money it was (if it was a really expensive one).
I personally prefer tastefully done simple& elegant weddings with just close family& friends and rather have more money in the bank and for nice vacations.
The biggest, most lavish& expensive weddings I've known ALL ended up in divorce in a VERY short period of time, so it's hard to look at two people getting married and be like "Oh, they're so lucky, in love and will live happily ever after, lol. It's more like, "I wish them the best of luck as their chances are 50/50".
There are likely couples at these weddings who are blissfully happy and will go on to getting married themselves, so why should they be jealous?
Cheers =) | |

Posted: 7/3/2012 1:13:20 AM | | I say the same I wonder why people always hire me to take photos for their weeding, but I have very few orders on divorce parties, this is not fair if the rate of divorce is so high. | |

Posted: 7/3/2012 1:23:15 AM | | I don't recall getting jealous at weddings. It's usually a friend getting married so I am usually happy for them. Although there have been times when I looked at what a mean and nasty shrew the bride was and thought, "Wow! She found a real idiot to marry her!" And then I take bets on how long it will last, LOL!

both weddings i went to i got laid. woohoo! great place to mingle the singles lol
Me too ! I def wasn't expecting to get some booty, but i did happen.. Weddings rock!
Ah, you crazy kids restore my faith. We sometimes forget the prime objective of these functions. Being invited shows others that you are deemed socially acceptable(or at least good for a gift contribution). What an endorsement! | |
