[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in my 20s, yes. Now that I’m in my 40s, I’m wedding-ed out for the most part. [/quote]

This is how I feel.  Weddings were amazing, surrounded by close friends and late into the wee hours fun in my 20's - the wedding, then reception, the after party, then after-after party, then after-after-after party and hired buses to accommodate all the guests.  Great friends, great times.  I think we had at least two weddings a month for a few years straight.  Memorable, in a good way!

In my 40's, DH is from a cliquish family, and that kind of left me with a different view of weddings. Nothing like unwittingly walking into a situation where people are super judgy, pile it on, and think that because they are older than you (even though you are all adults now, and maybe even regretfully employed some of them!) they are somehow better than you, among other things.  What used to be happy celebrations, just isn't as much fun with some people. Makes me thankful for all the other times. [/quote]

To add, we were also "in" a bunch of weddings, a few per year, for a few years - so many bridesmaid dresses! Agree with PPs who say weddings are fun when you are in your 20's, but totally over it now. [/quote]
