fuggstop Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 People are getting married less and less..or way later in life. But dont they deserve a big event where all their friends and family honor their awesomeness? So for my 40th birthday im saving up to throw my own FOREVER SINGLE party Invited along with all friends and family will be the other halves of my failed relationships (most of whom will definitely come because they still love me) Basically a wedding like reception..dinner..dj and dancing..toasts and huge cake just fo moi! I hope it makes it to the internet news and becomes a thing! *i decided to do this until i met the man of my dreams...but with my luck its still gonna happen lol 1
mthor Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Aw, just suck it up and call it a 40th birthday party. 40 isn't that bad; I don't know why you kids are all so squeamish about it. 5
bnmjy Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 I fear for our children's future with the collapse of the nuclear family unit . . . oh well.

It def will be harder to pull the 19 year to 20 something year old men despite how young i might look Hmmm i could make it huge and just not tell them its a forever single party...but i need everyone...that means people flying in and traveling from different states and i will be wedding level bridezilla mad if they dont come

CutieQuesadilla Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 I used to care a lot about getting married, but now i don’t care. i have my bf and my gf and we all good. 1
yazmineR Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 i like the idea i also "married myself" a decade ago 😐 the reception was eating surf and turf at the strip club. 😅 ive grown since then. do what works for you, what supports your growth, and what your heart whispers gently in the essence of love and nurturing 🙂 1

If you're going to get the party you want, you're better off throwing it yourself, or at least planning it yourself. It's like my birthday cake. I always make it myself, because then it turns out exactly the way I like it. 2 1

Greeny Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Idk. I know the parents of the bride pay for them a lot.

For a shower (wedding or baby) or graduation or some thing that's in a way congratulatory, I can see that. But for something that you just want to celebrate, like buying a house or getting a new job or surviving another year, why not celebrate the way you want and not how anybody else thinks you should? 1 1

I get what you're saying. Maybe it's just the kind of party she's throwing herself that I find questionable.

I don't understand why either party would exist. And I was referring more to the "celebrating how awesome I am" part. If you were that awesome, wouldn't someone else have thrown you a party for it?

If you think about it, a divorce actually could be something to celebrate if you find yourself no longer trapped in a really shitty marriage with a really shitty partner. A "never getting married party" is celebrating.... life as usual. 2

A "never getting married party" is celebrating.... life as usual. I can see a get-together with a couple of close friends and a couple of bottles once the paperwork's been signed, but not a full-blown celebration of correcting one of my more idiotic decisions (marrying the asshole in the first place). But then again, I'm still married to the asshole... 2
