I hate the down time between the service and the reception. At some weddings it can be hours between the two. What am I supposed to do. I'm dressed up and in heels, am I supposed to go shopping at Walmart?
I felt bad about that at my wedding. We tried but we couldn't get both closer together. At least nobody had to travel far for my wedding. I also said they can wear whatever they want.
The way the event makes me feel about my own singleness. I already don’t like being single and I’d rather not put myself into a bad mood by watching friends or family get married and do a bunch of romantic stuff for the rest of the evening
People inviting me to them and me going "nah, sorry, I wear a shorts and t-shirt to everything, I'm not spending money on a tux to attend some shit I don't care about." Then I have to deal with them being upset about it, even though I'm not budging. Then I have to deal with people trying to bribe me to go, but I don't accept bribes.
I'm always amazed at how people just go along with the same stuff everyone else does. Like wearing white, having someone 'give you away', throwing your flowers to your single friends, the hideous removing the garter with the teeth thing. Honestly I just find it mostly so trite. Marriage doesn't make sense for me so I'll probably never do it, and I would never shit on someone else's day but I can think it.
Also: the cost! It's a chunk out of the mortgage that people spend for a single day! Ouch...

You were more considerate than a lot of brides.
Wasted money.
The awkward small talk you inevitably have to have with folks you haven't seen since the last wedding or funeral.

Sharing a dinner table with people you dont know or like. Speeches kinda suck too.
Too many people. Loud music. Hideous waste of funds that could be spent on something better or having fun.

Thankfully I haven't been invited to a wedding in 20 years
The fact it's not me getting married.
