Last year my BFFE got married and it was the first wedding I was in as an adult and that experience made me realize something I thought I'd NEVER say: I DO NOT want to have a traditional wedding ANYTIME soon. Besides the cost, what turned me off the most was how key members of the wedding party acted. Between the offensive and nonstop complaining from the MOH/BM duo from hell and the no show groomsmen I was shocked. How could anyone be so cruel to someone who is supposedly your best friend?!! I love my crew to death, but I will do all of us a favor and ask them to be members of my honorary bridal party. No responsibility required. Best way to stay friends lol. I do want the big wedding, just after I'm already married and don't care so much about everything going perfect lol. More power to all the brides going down that traditional road, may your weddings be disaster and bitch free! :-)
