I’ll take it one step further and say that marriage is extremely idealized in our society to the extent where the focus is on the optics of partnership rather than a relationship built on mutual growth and love 🫣

Maybe controversial opinion but I think modern American weddings and the culture is so extremely wasteful, tacky and unnecessary. Imagine that money going to literally anything else that’s actually important

Esp within the context of heterosexual marriages 👀

I mean I agree to a certain extent, and I wouldn’t ruin my life for a wedding — but there’s also a certain weight to the celebration of love commitment that is valid and important to a lot of people. I want a wedding and all the little things that come with it, I know it’s largely a construct but I’m living in a world built in part on that construct and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with choosing to celebrate these things and idealizing the happy of it all as long as I don’t go into debt-

-and ignore the reality of what marriage really means.

Well I guess I more meant that I agree with what you said but I also think there’s room for marriages or weddings to focus on growth and love rather than simply optics, I think theres a dialectic there that isn’t inherently about the optics in every case. That’s like… it. Lol
