For the last 7 years we have had a family member get
married. Yes it is wonderful and I wouldn’t change a thing but for me they have
all been destination weddings.
I am not talking about Hawaii or Italy but places like Lyme Connecticut, and Butte Montana. Not really vacation destinations!

I have a bad case of wedding
fatigue and we still have a few more potentials to wed, but not this year.
This year we caught a break; no one is getting married. We
can stay home all summer and all fall. We don’t have to spend a small fortune
on airfare, clothes, hotels and gifts and, and, and!
To my dear unwed nieces
and nephews, I say, thanks for giving me a year off. I may need a few more.
Let me just state it here: The next wedding I will be a guest. I am too tired and old to decorate 30 tables, arrange flowers for 10 bridesmaids or wrap bows around 150 chairs. Sorry.

If you want to elope I support your decision!
All the wedding participants in the last 7 years have had
babies.
Here are the reasons I am more excited about them than weddings:
It is more fun buying
baby presents and toddler presents than a dress for me for another wedding!
I am looking at toys
from Melissa and Doug rather than dresses from Nordstroms.
I am considering
onesies and ruffle socks rather than shoes that will adhere to my feet after a
couple of dances.
I am having virtual
tea parties and laughing at walking steps on Skype rather than having to travel
several thousand miles for an evening.
Don’t get me wrong; I love a wedding. I love hearts full of
hope and future.
I also love chubby cheeks and baby steps!
I mean look at some of their faces!
What about you, are you suffering wedding fatigue? Are you
in baby bliss?

I am just entering into this wedding phase, which reminds me of the years post-college where every other weekend meant another ceremony in another state. I feel for you and your aching feet!
Yes it is like when all your friends were getting married. I did not go to a friend's wedding 38 years ago, 3,000 miles away, and we are still friends. I am hoping the nieces and nephews will be like this friend!
I'm having the opposite problem. You see I used to be a florist/ wedding and event planner, and I really miss it. I may have to find a few gigs here in Cape May this season, just to keep my hand in.
But I do understand the expense, especially as a traveling guest. It's nice to have a small family at stages like that.

Yes I understand how fun it would be to be involved objectively at a wedding.I have thought to get a ordain license because what a hoot to marry people.
I agree! We are up to our chins in baby things around her (It's my usual Saturday night date as I write this) and I wouldn't trade it for the world. So much more fun getting into my pj's and taking care of babies than getting all dressed up to go to a wedding!
Thanks Rena for agreeing! You got the 2fer!
Usually the wedding comes before the babies but now that the babies are here,just send me photos of the wedding and give me the babies.
Ohmigoodness! Those kiddos are adorable! Every one of them.
I agree that newly borns are far more fun than newlyweds! Cuter, too. (And they don't care what kind of shoes or dress you wear!)
Thanks Lisa, and of course you make a great observation, the babes don't care about my attire.
Cute pictures! Love the little princess in the first one and the messy face on the last one.
Thanks Joy. They are delicious! You picked out sister and brother cutey-pies.
These kids are looking very nice specially that little baby. No doubt we can reduce our tiredness by playing with our kids and i read it in a research paper writing service review by the way i am thankful for the beautiful picture of these babies.
