The post-COVID eruption of pent up wedding plans is happening. I forgot to blog about the one we went to recently where the couple had been living together for 8 years, and got married a couple of years ago. Granted, because of COVID, they had a smaller wedding. Now they went and re-enacted the wedding and went all out for it. It was a huge affair and everything was done on a grand scale.
The vibe just was not the same. The energy was flat. All the fancy planning did not make up for the ho-hum attitude of everyone there. Everything felt forced. The energy emitted by the wedding party and guests alike was, "What is all the fuss for? They've been living together for years and they are already married. Can we just skip this? It all seems so artificial like we are all playing dress up."
The only giddy people were the bride, groom, and parents.
I'm going to give the table we were seated at credit. Nobody was a wet blanket and if they were feeling indifferent about the event they kept it to themselves.
