idk i have a few friends that are excited but like i think more excited for the fun we’ll have at the wedding vs me actually getting married haha. there’s not really much for them to be super excited about

We’re meh about the cost of a wedding - industry is disgusting and social media has inflated the expectations. Overall - excited to spend the rest of my life with my person

Hmm… I mean I don’t expect them to show some overly ecstatic response. I’m sure they’re happy though

Most people, no. But I have had some weird stuff with grad school colleagues and professors who definitely think it's a distraction and/or anti-feminist or something. I haven't even told them I want to change my name, and I can't imagine what their response is going to be

Your name is your identity. If there’s any name changing, why not both? It’s only fair for both to hyphenate versus the woman losing her name that’s she’s had her whole life. But it’s also up to the woman and it’s her prerogative. There’s A LOT involved with changing your name. Males never go through all that. It’s an archaic, traditional practice that many are not willing to change l.

I come from a rather large family and have a small close-knit group of friends, so the family are happy and all, but definitely on the meh side. Me and my few friends though have been really exciting and having a lot of fun doing things on the crafty side and all that.

I don’t really know what people thought about me getting married, nor have I ever had strong feelings about other people getting married. If it makes them happy then good for them, I guess?

I mean I feel like more and more people, particularly in the younger generations, are not too concerned with getting married any time soon. But I think marriage is not for everyone and that is perfectly fine. As long as everyone in the relationship is on the same page is fine .

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level. Lately because of many of her friends getting engaged / married, rings have been mentioned and she’s said pretty much she wouldnt be happy with under 25k.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff
