[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be a little embarrassed to be having a shower and a balls to the wall bachelorette party at 36.

It was tacky and embarrassing at 30.  Could not imagine doing it all so close to 40.[/quote]

You’d be embarrassed to have a shower? Should women in their mid-30s not even bother with a wedding because now it’s embarassing at that age? [/quote]

I said I'd be embarrassed to have a shower not a wedding.

A 36 year old is not just starting out.  Seems tacky to expect to be treated like a 25 year old who is just out of school and truly has very little.[/quote]
This is why I didn’t have a wedding shower. We both had already lived in our own. We had everything we needed. It felt like a foolish waste of time to register for towels. We had towels. x2! We also had gainful employment that could afford us new towels if needed. It wasn’t worth wasting two Saturdays to register and have the damn shower. [/quote]

Really?  I am 36 and have been married for 10 years.  I feel like I could use another shower :). I need new cookie sheets, bed sheets, bath towels, and hand towels.  My dishes and flatware have been broken then replaced piecemeal so nothing matches.  I also have my home now, so I know what colors would work well for things like sheets, blankets, and table linens.  I think that people should have showers every ten years as a chance to get together, celebrate your marriage, and replace all of your worn out stuff.  [/quote]

I hope this is a joke?  Most people can purchase their own sheets when they need them or want new ones!  Especially at age 36 if they are married and own a home??? Why do you need your friends to continually buy your household necessities for you?[/quote]

We had so much fun at our wedding that we did joke about wanting to do it again every 10 years. But that was a joke.

It's funny - I wonder if people bring the same spirit to their lives and marriages as they do to their weddings. Like are the people who are like YOU OWE ME NOW DO WHAT I WANT AT MY BACHELORETTE PARTY more flexible and compromising in their lives, or is it always like that with them? [/quote]
