Chick Chat With Cornelia O’Dwyer: How Many People Truly Enjoy Their Wedding Day?
Hello Guys! It’s #TalkTuesday A.K.A #ChickChat. I thought I’d share this story from a slightly older sis of mine. I asked her randomly what the most underwhelming feeling she had ever experienced was and I was not expecting her response. She said “my wedding day and night.” I burst out laughing and asked her to explain: Here is her brief synopsis. #Enjoy ?
“I did all the work myself, I took on a major part of the planning to save costs. Major mistake! From the food menu, cakes, the flowers, decor etc… I was fire fighting with vendors and his family over how many guests they could bring even though none of the family members “making noise” contributed a dime. I had to beg and plead and apologise to a million people I didn’t offend. By the time the day came, I ended up not having enough time to get my own self ready things were so rushed and we ran super late. I ended up having to just throw my hair up quickly, throw on the ugly wedding dress that my fiancé chose because he didn’t like the dress I wanted. I didn’t like my hair, make up or dress so I was pretty much over the day before it even started. He was a complete nightmare when it came to decisions and just seemed unbothered about the details that I guess at the time mattered to me.
During the reception my now ex-husband got drunk, I was sober, exhausted and suffered major claustrophobia from having 1000 guests I didn’t care for. The picture taking and ceremony in general was exhausting. He insisted on staying until the very last guest had left, getting drunker and drunker with the last few drunks who lingered, ignoring my requests to leave.
When we finally got back to the hotel he actually thought I was going to have sex with him. After I declined, he turned on DSTV before he passed out.
It was our marriage in a nutshell, but of course I wasn’t enlightened enough to see it at the time. So for me, wedding, marriage, extremely underwhelming.”
It’s so interesting how most people I know didn’t enjoy their #wedding. The wedding hashtags and photos on Instagram tell me otherwise though. Everything looks “Lit”
