PPD gem for you.

All this PPD talk got me thinking of one from my childhood, the groom was a cousin of my dad.

B&G met and eloped in less than 2 weeks. Wedding announcement goes out. Gifts are sent.

Upon return 2 months later to G's home town they had a formal AHR. With registry

After 6 months they had a huge Church wedding with the works. Showers, bach parties, big white dress, cake cutting, dances you name it and yes another registry.

I remember my moms head just about exploding upon receiving the church wedding invite.

Divorced before 2nd anniversary.

So they got married then essentially had two PPDs? Wow.

The AHR I would just REALLY side-eye... but the SECOND PPD?  WTF?  Who thinks that's ok?

Two PPDs? With registries? Okay, MAYBE I can forgive one PPD (I am very forgiving), but two even I would side eye. Yikes. Not surprised they got divorced soon after.

I don't really have a problem with the AHR (without registry) but wth with the church wedding. What is the point!  Why would anyone go to the 2nd wedding, let alone the showers bach parties etc.

Yup... and *IF* it were the case that the couple really wanted a church blessing (or a convalidation for Catholics), then it should have been low key, intimate (like close family only), no shower/bach parties, with no registry.

My DH's friend and his wife did something similar. They got married at JOP (we were witnesses) because they were having a DW in Thailand and couldn't be bothered to get a marriage license there. We went out to dinner and they paid.

Then they got married in Thailand a few months later. She hated the wedding so...

They had a PPD the following year complete with a bridal shower, bachelor & bachelorette parties (DH spent 1k on himself and the groom).

When I asked my husband what date they celebrate their wedding anniversary, he said they don't celebrate anything about being married
