Do Pinays think that their Wedding day is the most important day in a girl's life.

[MissPicasso]

When I was younger, I have to admit that I was dreaming of a fairytale wedding. When I got older, I became pragmatic and I realized that fairytales suck.

My way of thinking became less fanciful: Marriage=Something binding. Something binding=baaaaad.

So why would I consider my wedding the biggest day of my life? It'll be the death of my freedom. Is that even something worth celebrating? I don't think so.

Besides:

1) security for the woman. --- I am already financially secure.
2) legitimacy to the children. --- Children? Ugh. I won't have kids.
3) social benefits to all of them. --- I have a pension plan. I won't starve when I am stooped, shriveled and unemployable.

4) acceptance by a judgmental society (in terms of how they view the lady)---I don't give a f*ck about what this f*cking society thinks of me.

being bounded is bad?
i know lots of people wanna be bounded naman eh...

[bondgirl]

hmmmm....so,your mom is a trash....

why drag the Mom here?

...and where did you get an implication by doing housechores and making babies is trash?

surely you replied that to my post as to an essence of a married woman...


even with me mentioning "instant katulong"....so katulong is trash, huh?


tsk..tsk.... i pity your katulong sa house....trash pala sila....


so which is which? your mom is a trash or your maid is a trash??

and drag Mom here again...

krayon,

how is "maybe the couples are loners" an assumption?



di na naman makasagot.

Your family and his family can fly to the US to celebrate with you, no?

-Just_JT
They.can't.afford?

Mine can. His can't.

And between the two of us, we can't afford to pay for his family to fly to the US, on top of paying for a wedding and reception in the US, we're not rich. And nothing will make his mother ever ride an airplane again.

And yeah why didn't my family fly out etc. They would've went to the US if we had arranged a wedding and reception. But because we got married out of the blue, obviously they weren't able to.

I know for some people, it's hard to understand getting married out of the blue with just us and the officiant. But that's the way it is for us.

I'd take literal binding at any given day.. but not the figurative version of it.

it may be the end of your singlehood,yes....but do you really want to be single forever?


there are also benefits of a married woman as to a single woman.

I'm sure your future hubby will give you a wedding... ikaw pa!



ok..now, let's piss off AG here....joke!

[josiah2010_]

ice burn, your comment.
clear now?

clearly you are talking about JUST_JT's comment about Ice burn being a loner.

[Krayon]

^^ LOL, why would I even do that?

...I know for some people, it's hard to understand getting married out of the blue with just us and the officiant. But that's the way it is for us.

and there we go. them fightin' words right there.

I'm just saying that weddings are overrraaaaaaated, dear. Besides, I don't think I'll be the happiest woman on my so-called big day. I'm certain I'll be crying buckets of tears.

1) security for the woman. --- I am already financially secure.
2) legitimacy to the children. --- Children? Ugh. I won't have kids.
3) social benefits to all of them. --- I have a pension plan. I won't starve when I am stooped, shriveled and unemployable.

your own assumption about JUST_JT's post as assumption was WRONG.

[JUST_JT]

But because we got married out of the blue,

when you came back to philippines, your parents didn't prepare any sort of celebration in honor of your wedding?

Yep, I agree.

most of the time, yeah.

I cant wait to see this - i moved the argument though, its offtopic here.

Again with this celebration thing!

Dude, you need a psychiatrist.

Repeat after me: "I admit I'm addicted to celebrations".

it's not the celebration, per se

it is the fact that in a wedding.. we owe it to our parents, especially if we are in good terms with them and they have been good parents to us, to at least make them part of that wedding.
