How many weddings do YOU have to go to this year?

Caroline, on February 23, 2012 at 12:46 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 40

I couldn't help feeling bad, but also thinking it was REALLY funny - but my DOC (a good pal) AND one of my bridesmaids both have 7 weddings to go to this year!! My MOH has 3 but they are all within 2 months.

FH and I haven't been invited to any this year. Last year we were invited to 3 but only made it to 1. I can't help but feel thankful that we are unpopular Smiley winking it is saving us a fortune!

How many do you have to attend this year?

    I have a wedding reception the weekend after our wedding. My MOH is in 3 weddings this year, her calendar is very full, I can't imagine 7!

    We are attending two weddings other than our own this year, and they are within one month of each other. One is my MOH's wedding that FH and I are both in.

    I have to go to one in May, my FH's best friend since kindergarten. My cousins wedding in June, to a girl he already has three kids with and has been dating almost 10 years, a life ceremony in September for my best friend and his boyfriend, my own wedding in October, and my other best friends wedding in December. I never want to go to another wedding again after this year.

    We have 3 so far for this year. Luckily they will be pretty spread out time wise and are all in places I am excited to visit!

    None for us. I suppose that is one of the advantages of being "mature."

    Wow. Are they single? I only ask b/c in our twenties before we met, FH and I averaged 4 weddings/year EACH. If we had been together back then, that probably would have been about right. Thankfully we're getting older and the wedding train is slowing down so now we average about 4 weddings/year with both of our families/friends combined. I love weddings but I don't think I could take 8 weddings/year for another decade. It's nice to use vacation time and travel money for actual vacations without feeling guilty about skipping people's weddings to afford it. Smiley smile

    This year it looks like 4 including ours lol. I don't know why 4 is the magic number, but it seems to work out that way almost every year.

    None, and I haven't been to a wedding in probably 20 years. The last 2 weddings I was invited to, something came up (death in the family both times) and I had to miss Smiley sad

    This year we only have 2 including ours (thankfully). Last year we had 6 and the whole summer felt like a constant trip to weddings.

    1 so far this year (in November), but we had 5 last year (including our own). 3 of those were within the 30 days surrounding our wedding: 1 was a month before ours, 1 was 2 weeks before ours, and one was 2 weeks after ours.

    Another reason to love being old. We have one on Memorial Day Weekend. But, with 6 grown children between us, they should start happening sometime soon.

    My DOC and BM are both in relationships - I bet they total about 3-4 per person and then they are both invited.

    I bet I will have to start going to them in the next 2 years when all our partnered friends start tying the knot. My FH always jokes that he apologizes to our guy friends for starting the "trend".

    I'll have to start a savings account for weddings - one friend is spending over 10,000 in all her wedding travel and gifts and such.

    You ladies are troupers!
