The end of September is both a sad and a happy time. It represents the official sad end of summer and the sudden appearance of cold weather. It also represents the somewhat end of wedding season. Now I am not against weddings, but elements of weddings. They continue to prove - through every facebook post and instagram image posted - that people have incredibly terrible taste, and no creativity. Weddings are proof that photographers, wedding planners, and print shops pretending to be design studios, are making a lot of other money and fooling people into thinking their wedding is unique or interesting.
The worst thing about weddings - aside from the predictable elements of each one I've seen recently (prove me wrong people, prove me wrong!) - has got to be the decision to have bridesmaids and groomsmen. This tradition needs to be abolished. I just can't stand looking at the pictures, the unflattering dresses, the mismatched colours...
Then comes other predictable items, the ones that make all weddings seem like clones of each other: the photo booth, the mason jars, the chalk board with bad hand lettering, the typewriter typeface, the 'fun' child-like one, or the calligraphic one, terrible engagement photos, video trailers, and the poses to name a few (you know where everyone's jumping in the air?)...I can't tell weddings apart thanks to these things.
