Sky plus is set to series record for Don’t tell the bride ,
my favourite website is Rock and roll bride, Kat Williams alternative wedding
blog and I’ve been known to treat myself to the magazine of the same name as I
really enjoy reading about all the different ways couples have celebrated their
big day .
Hop on over to Pinterest, the creative inspiration site for
projects and ideas and you’ll find I have a board entitled always the bridesmaid,
never the bride dedicated to old wedding photos, vintage wedding dresses and
peoples retro themed ceremonies so I can understand that it seems a bit weird
to others that despite a vast interest in all things nuptial I have absolutely
no desire to take a walk up the aisle myself.
Once upon a time back in my younger years I like many others
may have dreamed of finding my Mr. right and celebrating our happy ever after
with an elaborate ceremony but now I’m older it doesn’t seem so much of a
priority anymore .
That doesn’t mean however that I think marriage is such a
bad thing , just this month I’ll see some of my closest friends and family tie
the knot and I can see it is something that means a great deal to them , that it’s
something that works for them and makes them happy .
It’s just that all that fuss and faffing about for one day
and a bit of important paper is not for me and so it does get annoying when I
express that opinion that others assume it must be due to some underlying issue
because after all what sort of girl doesn’t want to be treated like a princess
for a day as she joins together with her prince charming in holy matrimony.
So to those who treated me with fawning sympathy like I’m
some kind of freak or argued that there must be a reason for my failure to
commit to wedded bliss because I jokingly paraphrased a Jay-Z track in the
facebook status “ I reckon should start a blog about why I’m a woman who
doesn’t dream of having a big white wedding called Got 99 problems but getting hitched ain’t one
“ recently , it’s got nothing to do with
me not having met the right person , I’m not protesting too much to cover up
for the fact it is really what I dream of .
It’s just how I feel , it’s my opinion , my decision and it doesn’t
make me any less of a woman , partner , mum or whatever .
I don’t judge you for doing what you think makes your life
complete so please don’t judge me just because I choose not to put a ring on
it.
