A Wedding Is More Than A Day

Your wedding is more than just another day. It’s one of the most important days of your life. After all, you’re celebrating the joining of your love with your other half. Whether it’s a big wedding or it’s just the two of you, it is an important milestone in your relationship and deserves to be celebrated in whatever way you choose.

Despite how important this moment is, there are people out there who just don’t get it. They’ll try to destroy your happiness because they ‘would have done it differently’.

Why do they do this? There’s a variety of reasons. Here’s a few that we’ve seen:

“That’s too much money.”

This is a classic reason for them to hate on your wedding. Yes, weddings are often very expensive but, for a lot of people, it’s something they’ve dreamed about since they were young. This moment has been in the making for years. You shouldn’t be made to feel bad because someone thinks that your wedding isn’t worth what they think it is. It may not be in their monetary budget but this is a choice between you and your partner.

“You could do better.”

This pains us whenever we hear someone say this to a bride or groom. If someone is truly happy about their wedding and the person they are going to marry then it is absolutely appalling to hear someone voice this. Being married to someone you love is one of the greatest feelings and everyone else should just keep their opinions to themselves. Maybe they don’t think you ‘fit’ together for whatever reason but as long as you’re happy then your decision shouldn’t be any of their concern and they’re free to show up to your wedding or not.

“You already live together.”

Now this one doesn’t apply to everyone but it definitely shows when someone just doesn’t understand your priorities. Living together doesn’t mean you have to bypass having a wedding. A wedding is there for you to celebrate your love with family and friends and anyone who can’t see that might have a difficult time joining in on the happiness.

Whatever the reason is that someone is trying to tear down your joy, don’t be discouraged. They just don’t get it. What matters most is that you are doing it because you’re in love and want to spend the rest of your life with the person who is going to stand next to you at the altar. Let the haters hate and enjoy your wedding with or without them.
