Planning a wedding is a lot of work, sure.
There’s so much to think about: The venue, flowers, guest list, food, cake, music, dress… you get the point, and it’s all going to be very time consuming.
It’s also stressful and can become very, very expensive.
Taking all this into account, most people would advise quitting your job to plan your very costly wedding is not… wise. Then, if you did that and then demanded your husband-to-be get a second job to support you while you plan said wedding, full-time, most people would think you were joking.
Side note: Take a look back at engagement ring trends throughout the decades. Post continues below video.
For one upcoming bride, this is no joke. That is exactly what she’s done, and she sees no issue with it.
“HELP I NEED ADVICE,” the bride shared in a Facebook post uploaded to Reddit, adding that she and her fiancé were fighting a lot.
“I quit my job because wedding planning was taking up so much time, and my fiancé is refusing to get a second job.
“He doesn’t understand that I don’t have time to get ready for work, drive to work, be somewhere else all day, and drive home. I need to be HOME to plan this wedding,” she said.
…Oh.

What a huge red flag. I'm not sure why he hasn't called it off. Absolutely delusional. I'm not astonished by her actions, I am wondering why he allows this to happen.
This little girl, and I use those words deliberately, is desperate to be a bride, but does she want to be a wife? We’ve been married for 51 years and I can categorically state that the wedding day, which was absolutely perfect and paid for by my parents, as was the tradition then, bore little relationship to the hard slog of marriage.
We’ve had some wonderful times, more than most couples probably but the struggles of full time work, both of us in stressful jobs, struggling to pay a mortgage when the interest rates were 17%, my chronic ill health, the inability to have children, going through the adoption process and the other bits and bobs all long term couples know about, took commitment, strength, a sense of humour and a deep love for each other.
It’s been worth every minute of struggle. We’re the closest couple I know and old age is just lovely when the two of you just totally get each other. I fear this lass doesn’t have the qualities needed to sustain a strong, happy marriage, during which there are times that you just need to put the other partner first. Not to mention the challenges of raising children.
