[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]

This is how I felt, but I didn't want to seem ungrateful.  We honestly needed nothing.  We could have used (borrowed) a video camera (before cell phones - at a time when people actually owned separate video cameras and film cameras - yes I am old) when we honeymooned at my mom's home country and saw her family for the last time, but no one came forward to say we could borrow it, and asking for anything was pulling teeth, so we just let people do what they wanted, to keep the peace.  Honestly, they could have bought ten video cameras for that money, and just saved them the aggravation. The best and worst of people com out around weddings, sadly.[/quote]
