Maybe I don't have that much desire for weddings compared to other girls. Maybe it's because the weddings I've been in contact with have not brought me too much surprise, but more of a set of procedures.
When people in their hometown get married, they want the man to go to the woman's house to pick up the woman first. Relatives and friends may have some problems and deliberately make things difficult for the man. When I saw this scene as a child, I didn't really want my wedding to be like this. First, I felt that this way of making things difficult for us was not suitable for us. Second, I didn't want my significant other to be embarrassed. After the groom receives the bride, he will return with great fanfare, handing out some jars that spray streamers and snowflakes along the way. These are the children's favorite things and the biggest motivation for me to go to the wedding. Bystanders picked up the jars and fired at the bride and groom to express their blessings to them. After the wedding car procession, the road was full of ashes of colorful ribbons and firecrackers, which were the traces of the hometown wedding.
Due to boarding life and studying abroad, the sight of the wedding in my hometown has become a distant memory, and my expectations for the wedding seem to be put on hold.
I mostly see some wedding looks on social platforms. I have to admit, I admired it and even cried. But I'm still not the one who has crazy ideas about weddings. I don't think weddings are the most important moment in life because girls can only wear wedding dresses on that day. I don't believe that wedding dresses are the dream of all girls. I once told him that we only need to get a marriage certificate in the future, and there is no need for a wedding. The reason is that we are tired. When he said this, he did not object, but reached a consensus on "tiredness".
But do I really not want a wedding?
What I really don't want are the necessities of love and marriage that are "created". I can also fully understand that some girls are looking forward to their wedding, looking forward to wearing a white gauze dress and entrusting the rest of their lives to the one they love. It's just that I, as an individual in love, didn't make such a request for a wedding.
So what does my wedding look like?
In my imagination, it could be just a small wedding for a dozen people. On a green lawn, there is a venue specially designed and arranged by us, and there are small snacks that we made by ourselves. Although there are few people present, they must come to truly bless us; although the wedding is very simple, it must be a small ceremony that we personally and jointly create. If possible, I hope that each invitation is designed and issued by myself, so that the invitees can feel our intentions.
That was my little idea of the wedding ceremony. The most beautiful thing about marriage is not the wedding, but us behind the wedding. What we want to achieve is not a person's dream, but the expectations of both parties for love - and my expectation is to face it together.
So, I am concerned about the absence of the groom during the wedding preparations in the plot. Perhaps the movie is to highlight the contradictions and comedic effects, directly using the wedding as a weapon carefully prepared by the bride alone. But in real life, I might not be able to accept that weddings are just gifts for girls.
