You've figured us out. Women™, the monolith. You alone have realized that we all have the same opinions, and we all require large weddings purely as a control method to discomfort everyone else present and place ourselves subconsciously in a position of power. Watch your back, Women™ are coming for you to keep our secret silent.
A tone indicator shouldn't be necessary. It should be pretty clear that different people just like different things. You might prefer a judge, but myself and my fiancée want a wedding. You claim it causes stress to the guests and participants, but all my friends and family, myself included, love attending weddings. They're fun parties to celebrate love. All women, like all people, are different. Men can like weddings too.
As a gay man, I watch from the outside. In my boomer experience, it is a horror show and power play. Good for you if you enjoy it. Go for it! Don’t expect for everyone to see it that way. Cheers.
It totally can be. You should avoid ubiquitous blanket statements, you're bound to be wrong a fair percentage of the time. Judgement doesn't look good on anyone. There are plenty of issues with the institution of marriage, especially since it's been established with a hetero-centric point of view. I'm a gay woman, I'm fully aware of this, and we've made active choices to do things our way, not society's, as do many other gay and straight couples. There is always nuance.
Thanks for your input. I hear your point of view.
