let me clarify this statement...
...I hate attending the modern day/mainstream interpretations of what
a
Muslim wedding ought to be.

No Mom I won’t tuck in my shirt or wear that lavender shirt...And No Dad, I don’t want to wear a belt for my pants or wear your old cow print suspenders...
So what if I want to ruin my appetite before what will surely be a by-invite-only congregation consisting of forced indulgence on buffet style cuisine! Ugh.


...I don't want to go!


Allow me to explain how I feel about attending a wedding during which & where:
(1) I don’t feel welcomed and
(2) I find myself repulsed by the way some or many in the numbers present carry themselves for the duration of the occasion.

I wish I were typing this from the same wedding that set me off like this so I could accurately articulate how much I despise the attitudes harbored by some people attending and organizing said weddings. In some ways these behaviors are exposed for the very first time before me, and disgusting habits including but not limited to gaudiness and narcissism surface bountifully (i.e. excessive photo taking of oneself). Finding exceptions in these behaviors are rare, nay, these seem to be the norm among the majority.

...Let me get specific because this is becoming ridiculously frequent & regular...
