Question

At 20, is it sad that I've never been in a wedding? ?

Answer 1

No, I was 21 before I was in my first wedding.  Don't worry, you have plenty of weddings in your future.  You will look back at the time you wer not in wedings and wish for that.

Answer 2

No.  Unless you have a lot of close older female relatives and friends, 20 is kind of young to expect to be in a wedding.  

Answer 3

definately not! I was 27 when I was in my first wedding

Answer 4

I am 28 and I am getting ready to be in my best friends wedding, First one ever

Answer 5

ive been to about 15 weddings and im 12

Answer 6

No.  I'm 33 now, will be 34 when I marry next year and I have never been in a wedding.

My own wedding will be the first one I'm in!

Answer 7

No. I was in three weddings before the age of 18:

Flowergirl at age eight.

Bridesmaid at seventeen (had fun, but felt like a last minute choice since I was asked last WAY after everyone else).

Guest book attendant for my now divorced cousin.

It really isn't all it's  cracked up to be. I enjoyed being in the weddings, but it wasn't like in the movies. They're expensive, and some brides (like my cousin for whom I was bridesmaid) go bridezilla.

Answer 8

I am 25 and never been ask to be in anybody's wedding!

Answer 9

Same here pretty much. I was in a wedding a 4. Went to a wedding at 6 but I only remember about 2 minutes of the ceremony and the reception and a semi wedding at 15.

Other than that no one I know is getting married except me, sad huh?

Answer 10

of course not :) you have plenty of time! I am 24 and have never been in a wedding except for my own lol I'm sure my friends will get married in the next couple years so i'll have my chance :) so will you!!

Answer 11

No way girl! I'm nineteen and never been in a wedding! Well, i will be this march, but its my OWN wedding! lol no worries chica :)

Answer 12

I wasn't a bridesmaid until after I was married myself, so the first wedding I was in was my own!  I was 22 at that time, and I was the first in my circle of friends to marry, so it wasn't surprising that I hadn't been in any weddings.

You should only feel sad if your friends are getting married and having their other friends stand up for them and not you.  And even then, it's not that much to be sad about.  I have often found being a bridesmaid to be stressful and expensive.

Answer 13

I was 21 before I was in my friend's wedding. You shouldn't be that close to people who are getting married before 20. And don't worry if you are even in any weddings. It's not a contest, don't worry.

Answer 14

The first (and only, so far) wedding I was in was my own when I was 23 so no, it's not sad that you've never been in a wedding before.  The next wedding I'll probably be in is either my sister-in-law's wedding or my sister's wedding and since the two of them are still in high school, that'll be awhile down the road!

Answer 15

No.

Three things really apply to this question.  First; you are typically involved in the weddings of friends.  Normally these are peers and frequently they are people of or very near your own age.  Second; many people are simply living together without bothering to get married.  Third; most of those who do marry are doing it far later in life.  Some delay it into middle age.

Based on that it wouldn't surprise me if a person was well into their thirties before being in a wedding.  BTW, there are those among us who have never been in a wedding.  I am 60 and while I have attended many I have only been in four and one of those was my own.  I guess I am trying to say that not being in a wedding during your whole life will not cause you any physical trauma and it certainly won't kill you.

Answer 16

No way!  Consider yourself lucky!  A few of my friends got married when we were all younger, around 20, and it was such a pain because none of us had much money.  That also meant a lot of us didn't have enough to pay for dresses, shoes, etc. and it caused a lot of strife between us and the bride.  After college, when more of my friends started to get married, it was no where near as difficult to afford all the stuff that goes along with being in a wedding.  So, I definitely wouldn't' be upset that you've never been in a wedding.  Don't worry, it'll happen!

Answer 17

Oh don't worry hon! I'm 22 and I've only been in one wedding! Now, I've *been to* lots of weddings, but I was only a bridesmaid once in my cousin's wedding. I know how it feels to never get asked to be a bridesmaid and it really sucks, but hopefully one day I'll either get to be in a wedding again, or I'll be the one getting hitched (preferably the latter, LOL!).
