Learning Moment: So Maybe I'm Judgmental


            A few weeks ago I went to a wedding. I love weddings. Well, I loved the one wedding that I had been to before this one and I love the wedding photos I see on Facebook at least. So I went to this one with the exact same expectations. Well when I got to the venue, I realized that not all weddings are created equal. This wedding was less than stellar, but I have included a list of the top 5 worst parts of the wedding below:
5. There were garage doors directly behind the couple as they got married.
4. The minister was an old man who tried to be a comedian and failed.
3. The bridesmaids AND THE BRIDE stomped down the aisle in cowboy boots. Classy.
2. The groom was found taking shots in the parking lot and the bride was clearly intoxicated less than an hour after the wedding. Again: classy.
And drum roll please……………
1. There was a twerking competition to Wrecking Ball. Epitome of class. I could not even handle this idea.
            So what did I learn from this? Well first of all, I learned what not to do at a wedding. But second of all, I learned that I am incredibly judgmental of everything and everyone. I don’t exactly do it intentionally, but I realized that throughout the wedding I would pass judgment on the bride, the groom, the minister, the other guests, the food, the music, the dancing, the venue, the bathrooms, the town around the venue, the cake, the chairs, the seating arrangement, the organization, the clothing, the informality, and the people who frequently used the open bar. As you can see, there was a lot of judgment. I honestly have no idea why this happens with me as frequently as it does, but hopefully I can gain more life experiences in the future that will help me to become less judgmental than I currently am.

  1. Sounds like my kind of wedding! Also, you clearly have terrible friends, and I'm judging you so hard right now. I've been to a number of weddings myself, and I enjoy playing certain where's waldo style games with my dad. For example, every wedding has a fat bridesmaid. Every wedding has someone who makes a toast completely about themselves and not about the couple at all. There are others, but it gets mean.
