What if I told you, you don’t necessarily need a video of all of your deepest and most personal memories.

Enjoy the moment.

Why can’t they do both?

They can! I was offering an alternative to this posts predicament.

I wouldnt stress about it. As someone who has neither a video of the engagement NOR the wedding, I can safely say I dont miss either of them.

I find the expectations to be more rude.

What expectations? What are you talking about? How does this have anything to do with the post?

Allot of people feel like they need to record these moments. You don’t! We haven’t been for thousands of years actually.

But this person wants to… feels like you are using this post to start blabbing about your opinions on wedding stuff in general and it’s weird

LoL i made one comment suggesting you can live without it if you cant set it up.

All the other comments and opinions are answering comments. To be honest, I was all set with the one comment till you needed clarifications of your own.

It's just kinda weird to respond at all to a post when your answer is that it shouldn't exist in the first place lol.

"Hey everyone, where can I get a good pizza?"

"You know, you actually don't even need to eat pizza."

Oh. Thanks....

Wow you’re so right. Everyone else is an idiot except for you.

All those people I see cherishing their wedding or engagement photos are just mindless social media zombies compared to those living in the real world.

You didn't propose anything, you attacked someone wanting to do something special.

You're a weirdo not gonna lie. We wouldn't even remember our proposal if not for it being recorded. The moment goes so fast you essentially black out with all the emotions going on. Same with wedding. Mind was all day and yet it felt like 1 hour... You against wedding photography also, or you just jealous?

You’re so smart!

I honestly feel that way. Both our engagement and our wedding were personal, just between my wife and myself. It cost next to nothing amd we took a killer vacation afterwards and used the money we would have spent to down pay on our home.

We feel very smart and enjoy the memories immensely. Though to be fair, we did have a photographer for exactly 2 hour for the wedding ceremony.

People put allot into weddings largely to meet expectations set by media or family.

Do what YOU need to make it special, not what others need. If you need a video, go get it. We didnt.

Then what's with the rudeness??? Let them do what they want without preaching about how you disagree.

What a lovely person you seem to be.

No, no, no, you think people record the most important moments of their life for Facebook and Instagram? Obviously, you have never seen a Hallmark Christmas movie. This is for the emotional montage of their beautiful life together.
