Why Women Will Always Love The Wedding More Than The Marriage and Men Will Just Hate Both

Ah marriage; isn't it just the most delightful prospect, where a man and woman (or man and man...or woman and woman - no freedom till we're equal) join together under the eyes of God and all of your loved ones, to be legally and spiritually connected...for life. Yes, that's right, LIFE. Excluding the idea of divorce, marriage is a permanent contract where two people decide to share their lives until death do they part. When you think about it, why do people even choose to get married? After all, it costs a lot of money, it's complicated when it doesn't work out and with the society we now live in marriage doesn't have to come before reproducing.

So why do women always go on about their dream wedding and how amazing it would be to walk down the aisle in their perfect white dress blah, blah, blah. Don't get me wrong, I am one of those women! I dream about my wedding day at least once a week but my boyfriend hates the idea of getting married.

So why is it that a wedding is so much more exciting for a woman than a man? I've come to the conclusion that it's because the bride gets much more attention than the groom. Think about it, when have you ever gone to a wedding where someone has said 'I wonder what the groom will be wearing!' - it doesn't happen, right? Typically the groom will be wearing a tux, that's that.

But the bride gets to buy something different because dresses don't have to look the same and the excitement of that surprise makes the bride the most focal point in the ceremony. The guys are okay when it comes to the pre-wedding planning because they get to go on their stag do activities and have a great time getting drunk and showing up late to the wedding etc.

It appears to me that men get married because they know it's expected of them after a while. They then proceed to spend the rest of their lives resenting their decision to get married at all. Guys, listen - if you're gonna complain your whole lives then marriage just isn't for you. Do yourself a favour and just enjoy being with your partner. If you break up, you'll have far fewer complications to deal with!

But for those who think that marriage is for them, I say this - don't expect to get ANY attention at the wedding because it's OUR (as in females, not OUR as in both of us) day, not yours!
