Well, I’ll tell ya, this whole weddin’ thing ain’t for the faint of heart. My niece, she’s gettin’ hitched, and let me tell you, she ain’t havin’ none of that fancy plannin’ stuff. Bride Doesn’t Want to Plan Wedding, that’s her alright. She says it’s a whole lotta fuss for nothin’.
She told me, “Auntie, I just wanna get married. I don’t care about no fancy flowers or tablecloths.” And you know what? I get it. Back in my day, we didn’t have all this Pinterest nonsense. We just got hitched at the courthouse or in the church, had some cake and punch, and that was that. Now, it’s all about themes and color palettes and whatnot. Who needs all that trouble?
- If the bride ain’t into plannin’, she can just go down to the courthouse and get it done quick and easy.
- Or, if she’s got some extra cash, she can hire one of them fancy wedding planners to do all the work. That’s what them rich folks do, ain’t it?
- Heck, she could even tell her fella to do it all. If he wants a big to-do, he can figure it out.
This whole “bride mode” thing they talk about, my niece ain’t got it. She ain’t divin’ into no Pinterest, lookin’ at decorations all day. She’s more the type to be out in the garden or fixin’ up the house. And honestly, I think that’s just fine. Why spend all that time and money on somethin’ that only lasts a day?
Her fella, bless his heart, he’s clueless about all this stuff. He just wants to marry her, and that’s the way it should be, I reckon. He tried to talk about centerpieces the other day, and she just looked at him like he’d grown another head. Told him, “You worry about showin’ up on time, I’ll worry about the rest.” That’s my girl.
You know, they say the bride and groom should plan together, make decisions together about the budget and the venue and all that jazz. But honestly, if the bride don’t wanna plan, why force it? It’s supposed to be a happy time, not a stressful one. There’s enough other folks involved in makin’ the day special, like the preacher and the caterers and all them.
And let me tell you, it’s perfectly okay if she don’t like plannin’ a big party. It’s hard work, and there’s a million things to think about. Even if everything’s goin’ smooth, some folks just ain’t cut out for it. And that’s no reason to feel bad.
It’s like when you’re tryin’ to bake a cake and you ain’t never done it before. You’re lookin’ at the recipe, and it’s got all these fancy words, and you’re just confused. That’s how these young couples feel, I think. They got too many people tellin’ ’em what to do, too many opinions, and it just gets overwhelming.
Heard on the radio the other day, some survey said most couples think wedding planning is just too much. And I believe it. My niece is so stressed she ain’t eatin’ right, and she’s got a headache all the time. She told me she’s even losin’ her hair. All that fuss just for a party? It ain’t worth it, I tell ya.
So, if you’re a bride who don’t want to plan no weddin’, don’t let nobody tell you you have to. You do what makes you happy. Marry that fella you love, and don’t worry about all the rest. Wedding planning stress is real, and nobody needs that kind of trouble in their life. Just keep it simple, and focus on what really matters.
My advice? Elope! Just run off and get hitched somewhere pretty. Or have a small backyard barbecue with some close friends and family. That’s what I would do if I was gettin’ married today. No fuss, no muss, just love and happiness.
At the end of the day, it’s about the marriage, not the wedding. And if the bride don’t wanna plan it, then she shouldn’t have to. That’s the long and short of it.
Wedding planning anxiety is somethin’ a lotta folks go through, and it ain’t right. It’s supposed to be a joyous occasion, not a chore. So, brides out there, listen to your Auntie – do what feels right for you, and don’t let nobody pressure you into nothin’ you don’t wanna do. You just focus on bein’ happy and lovin’ your man, and let the rest fall into place.
