I find this sentiment terribly saddening: “Even if I do get married one day, I am merely a supporting actor – a backdrop and accoutrement to the flawless bride.” It’s awful that those girls were so dismissive of what you want for when you get married.
They’re right in a way – it’s not about you, but it’s not about the bride, either. It’s about YOUR COMMITMENT TO ONE ANOTHER. Weddings should be seen more as a coming together of a community than a “pretty pretty princess” day for the woman getting married. This isn’t a Sweet 16.
Actually, a “silent disco” is when you supply everyone with headphones and the music is beamed wirelessly to each set, so that it’s silent when you take off the headphones, but a full-blown dance party when they’re on. The neatest thing is that often they have 3-4 channels you can switch between, so (if you wanted) your Baby Boomer parents could be rocking out to some classic rock while you were getting down to Kanye. It sounds weird, but I’ve been to one, and it was AMAZINGLY fun.
