Hello beautiful people. I hope your weekend has been great.
The highlight of my weekend was this wedding I attended. I couldn’t wait to return and come tell you guys all about it. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures so let’s make do with these screenshots I got from my videos.
Well, the wedding in itself was quite basic, nothing out of the ordinary. Just two hella stressed out people performing their marriage rites and wanting to just go home the whole time. I don’t think people actually ‘have fun’ on their wedding days. I mean, it’s a day they’ve probably been looking forward to and all but I can’t help but feel they’ll be too tired to actually enjoy it.
In every wedding I’ve ever experienced, the couple are always stressed or getting stressed the entire time, from the entire preparation process to the whispers and written notes getting passed to them during the ceremony. I’ll keep thinking: ‘can they get a break?’
And then amidst everything they’re feeling and dealing with, they’d still be required to show up and follow every detail of the event. Sometimes I see a couple dancing at their wedding and it’s so obvious they don’t want to do that dance at the moment. In my head I’ll be like you know you can sit down right? I mean, it’s your wedding and nobody can beat you. 😂
I used to tell me myself that I would consider getting married if all I have to do is just show up. Send out so and so millions, get my outfit ready and just show up. I’d happily pay experts a whooping sum to set up a team and decide on everything, then I show up on that day glowing and full of energy to pepper my guests with an enormous amount of PDA and PSA. I don’t fare well with stress which is why I want to be wealthy enough to outsource everything I lack the energy for.
When people ask me if I want to get married, I say no if I don’t want to get into details with the person, but I actually do want to get married, it just has to be on my terms. I do fancy the idea of meeting someone or more and wanting to do life with them, I’d like to have a ceremony to mark our commitment but not in the regular fashion, especially not the Nigerian way. Left for me my partner and I will just move in and call it a day. Lol.
I had a good time at the wedding today, the guest who invited me was an absolute delight, we laughed, dissed people, danced and made a bunch of videos. The MC did his best at keeping the crowd engaged and even used me as a highlight, fine girl shenanigans you know. The food was okay and vibe check was great. The couple looked exhausted as usual and I felt for them. Am I the only one who wonders whether or not the couple are in love or they’re just doing wedding for marriage sake. I also try to imagine what their sex would look like. Sometimes I imagine if either of them just finished having one of those last cheating sex before marriage like in the movies.
Nevertheless, I wished them well and went back to minding my business. After they shared gifts, I called an Uber and we left. I was so happy to be going back home, my social battery was on an all time low and I knew if I stayed longer than that my anxiety would definitely creep in and ruin my whole day.
I’m glad I went to this wedding and fed my eyes and mind.
Thank you so much for reading. Take care.
