To the point where I wondered what it was like to be someone who didn’t really care about The Wedding, or Any Wedding. I am not really the “OMG it’s the most specialest day of my liiiife!” kinda girl, so when I realized that I was becoming that girl without actually believing the hype, well, that was doubly worrying.
