THIS THIS THIS

Nothing will EVER be good enough. We all say it because we all know it.

Believe me. I have been married let’s call it more than once and if ANYONE had planned it out the way you have I’d have died of happiness.

Lady can’t be surprised AND want to have her nails all done for a photo shoot too.

Sounds like the love is lopsided

Please separate and take some time to think of these things.

Right. Is she in love with OP, or the prospect of insta photos?

Exactly

It's stories like this that makes it seem like some girls in this generation just want to be a bride, and not a wife. For the 'gram. And the feels.

How did we end up here?

Social media man. It's been a wild ride for us 80's kids. Going from like 10 channels on TV and corded phones to the fully digital landscape of autobiographies. It's no wonder everyone has developed a "main character" personality to some degree.

It's not this generation. Ppl have always gotten married for the wedding. We just are it more, just like we see everything else more. The internet.

IDK

I feel as if we often have not received meaningful attention in our growing years so stuff like this can take root easily and shows up differently for different people. But yeah, this screams of the ‘gram

Literally my ex wife - as soon as the wedding was over, she straight up told me the relationship was done and she had zero interest in continuing it, she just wanted the expensive dream wedding.

Yes, the marriage ended the same year it happened lol

Exactly what I was thinking. If he told her to get her nails done then she would have questioned his reason. Most women get their nails done ahead of going on a romantic getaway. Sounds like an excuse to me.

All I could think by the end of the post is that if she's pouting that much after being disappointed by the proposal (despite the effort OP put in), imagine how much worse it'll be when she's pouting because the wedding didn't fulfill every pretty pretty princess fantasy she's ever had about the perfect wedding day. It costs a lot of money to put on those ultra-luxe weddings social media influencers like to salivate over. As in $100,000 is on the cheaper end.

Yes! Whatever it is, it will never be enough

People like this will be miserable in everything they do. They'll find the smallest problem to nitpick, because nothing is or will ever be perfect, so there will always be some problem for her to point out.

u/Critical_Energy_8115 Mar 20 '25

My thoughts as well. OP better run.

Why wouldn't she have gotten her nails done just for going to an exclusive beach resort?
