Bridezilla????

There is apparently a new trend going on out there: single women who are bridezillas (you know, the awful show about women who scream when they don’t get their way?).

Yup, I said S-I-N-G-L-E women. As in, not dating anyone.

But planning their dream wedding.

My first thought is.. how much is THAT gonna end up costing? Holy cow!

My second thought is.. I’m so glad I was never that person.

My dream wedding? Civil ceremony with my witness and his witness. I don’t need the dress and flowers and all that mess. Seems like such a waste of money for something you’ll never wear again, and stuff that dies (oh, and I know, some women are going to be highly insulted cause I said that. It's my blog and my opinion).

The article did bring up some interesting points I thought merited discussion.

Fair enough. But why the psychological need to bum-rush it to the altar at all? We know that about 40 percent of marriages fail and that there's no longer such a necessity for women to marry. Sex, babies, financial security — it all used to be tethered to marriage. Now? Not so much, says Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., social scientist and author of Singled Out. "You can pick up the check at work and the sperm at the bank," she says. "So what's the wedding industry going to do? They have to sell women on the psychology of it, convince them that the only way to have a complete and happy life is to get married."

Women can get sperm at the bank? Awesome. #heavysarcasm

So, a sperm bank now replaces the traditional family and the route to get there. Completely amazing concept.

I can’t really say a lot, I suppose. I didn’t get where I am the traditional route either, and I think that is held against me, even by people who know me (or claim they do). It is what it is, and I’m not going to apologize – meaning, I know where I’m at with God on the subject and its no one else’s concern, business or place to judge me.

So, the wedding industry is sucking wind because women are waiting longer to get married and are happy doing so. I think it is humorous to believe the static this industry feeds women. I know I don’t, and while I would like to be married, it is not an

ALL CONSUMING THOUGHT CONCEPT

I don’t get wrapped around the axle because I’m not married. Nor do I have a prospect in place that I might marry. Geez… I’m not even dating anyone – and I’m perfectly happy being where I’m at.

I’m no bridezilla. I’m not planning a dream wedding.. I don’t really have one. Scratch that. I want to go to Disney World and get married, and have the honeymoon there too. It’s a great place for kids, young and old J

Besides, no one else does 'Princess' as well as Disney.
