To hear my wife tell it, the reason that people are getting married these days is to create Instagram content.
Seriously, she's super frustrated with Gen Z. They are WAY higher-maintenance than any other generation she's married (she's married plenty of Gen-X, and a ton of millennials - a generation she actually thinks highly of), they are rude/dismissive of other people's time/demands, and EVERYTHING is focused on how it will look on the 'gram. She has one coming up with NINE attendants on EACH SIDE (so the processional itself is going to take a full 5 minutes), and the couple has told her "we've only allotted 15 minutes for the wedding ceremony." FFS, a marriage by the JP at the courthouse takes 15 minutes. And they aren't shy about telling her what to wear so it will look right in photos, how and where to stand to create the perfect scene, etc. The whole fucking thing is about the "content" it will create.
So, she's about done with the headache of dealing with them, of dealing with people who really don't give a shit about the actual marriage ceremony and vows at all, and spending her Fridays and Saturdays on the road to rehearsals and ceremonies. Instead, she wants to hang out and have morning coffee with me, maybe we go to some Longhorn baseball games and Austin FC matches, and chill.
