Karen's Wedding (1-6)

[xenaeilonwy]

I'm very depressed tonight because the end of summer means my bestie goes to school and I don't see him as much, and this snark was requested in my Request A Snark a few weeks ago, so I now present you all with a very vitriolic, petty snark of Karen's Wedding.

Let me lay down the law right now: I HATE WEDDINGS. To me, they are the stupidest, most

Apparently Karen the Wedding Expert never heard of a registry list.

What the heck is so special about a sixty dollar silver cup?

Registry lists are just ridiculous. I am not spending 160 of my dollars that could go to my college textbooks, clothes, art supplies and show entry fees, clothes, and (did I mention?) clothes just because you think you're entitled to a blender for getting married.

My mom forged my name on a registry gift because she's dumb, but at least I didn't have to put any of my money toward it 'cause I was only 17 at the time. If I cared that much about someone's wedding (like maybe if my best friend were getting married or something) I'd buy them a nice little cameo necklace or crystal bracelet in their favorite color from Forever21 or Claires.

You know, given what Karen's like, I don't think any of her classmates should trust her with money or gifts.

ugh I hate gift registries, with a passion. I hate the concept of giving a list to someone with a gift you want them to buy you. I hate the idea that you have to buy a gift for someone, I get that it is tradition, but the wedding shouldn't focus on gifts. One of my friends got married a few weeks ago- she sent me an "invite" by text three weeks ahead of time and then sent me another text "we want money so we can buy a car so don't buy a present"- um who does that? I have no income and would spend 200$ to get to your wedding and then you want me to give you money on top of that?........ And really, I would like to believe that my friends and his friends know us well enough to buy a gift without us telling them what we would need/want, not that I want people to buy gifts...

Lisa & Seth are apparently BFFs, Ms Cs niece cannot come to the wedding, so she asked Karen because apparently none of her other friends have a young girl to be flower girl

I like how Karen describes Natalie as someone who is unsure of herself, and two sentences later shoots Natalie's idea down for a gift.. Like you wonder why she has no self-confidence, you list all the things that make her less than perfect and shoot her ideas down... I hate Karen

oh gawd. I hate weddings too. all these traditions that no one cares to learn why we still do them, most of which are all about how women are property of their fathers (and then their husbands) it is just sick. D=
