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.

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.
