No More Weddings? đź’’ Agree or Disagree?
Summary
A woman on the subway has strong opinions about white people weddings, and she's not holding back. She tells Kareem they're meaningless spectacles propped up by the wedding industrial complex, comparing them to Valentine's Day. Fake, manufactured, empty. She even calls out the flower girl tradition as "ew" for symbolizing the bride as a child. Her real gripe? Couples who spend $100,000 on a wedding and then complain they can't afford a house. Forget the Starbucks and avocado toast excuses. It's the wedding that's killing their finances.

My take is that white people should stop having weddings. 100%? Agree. There's no significance to their weddings. Nothing has any meaning. The tradition is that they're just getting married. There's a flower girl at white people weddings. She's supposed to symbolize the bride as a child, which—ew. White people weddings are the wedding industrial complex. It's like Valentine's Day. It's fake.
Exactly. And then they think that they can't be a homeowner because of Starbucks and avocado toast, but no—it's your wedding. Maybe you shouldn't spend $100,000 on a stupid wedding. Don't do the wedding.
So what's your take?
