I sometimes think about how other people have less happy relationships than mine, and that makes me sad for them

I always find it weird how some people spend thousands just to announce "our relationship is the same, but now we told the government"

Think of it more as "this is the best excuse we are ever gonna have to throw a big party where we get to decide the guests, the food, etc etc"

Though I do think too many people spend a lot of money because they feel like they "are supposed to (have a big wedding)" and not because they actually want to

Hahaha, I've never needed an excuse! Mayhaps :p

F what you're "supposed to", really. And I'll freely tell any family member or friend that. Rudely if I need to. I've heard some of the dumbest stuff come from people just because of weird traditions.
