Going To Weddings In Your Twenties Vs. Your Thirties

    This isn't your first time at the ol' wedding rodeo.

    Twenties: Destination wedding in Fiji? It'll blow my savings, but I'll be there.

    Thirties: *looks at location* "Oh, nice." *immediately checks "Regretfully Decline"*

    Twenties: Crying when the bride walks down the aisle.

    Thirties: Sneaking out of the ceremony because your kid is crying hysterically.

    Twenties: Bachelorette party? EVENT OF THE YEAR!

    Thirties: Dinner and a feeble attempt to hit up a bar.

    Twenties: "I can totally wear this dress again to a fancy event."

    Thirties: Accepting that you never go to the kind of "fancy event" that would require a floor-length pink ball gown.

    Twenties: After the wedding, head to the after-party.

    Thrities: Leave as soon as the cake is cut.

    Twenties: Going buck on the dance floor when the hit of the summer comes on.

    Thirties: Getting buck on the dance floor when the hits from 10 years ago come on.

    Twenties: DIY the perfect personal gift for your friends.

    Thirties: Get some random thing in your price range on the registry.

    Twenties: Getting to meet your college friend's high school friends you've heard so much about.

    Thirties: Meeting your college friend's new work friends.

    Twenties: Flirting with hot friends of the groom.

    Thirties: Making awkward small talk with the creeps at the singles table.

    Twenties: Bravely putting your phone away to really enjoy the moment.

    Thirties: Frantically texting the babysitter.

    Twenties: Gotta go out and buy a new outfit!

    Thirties: Figuring out which dress you already own that you haven't worn to a wedding for that group of friends already.

    Twenties: OPEN BAR!!!!

    Thirties: OPEN DESSERT BAR!!!

    Twenties: OMG mason jars? Too cute!
