1. One year, all of your friends will decide to get married.
2. And from then on, you'll spend all of your free time — not to mention your money — on weddings.
3. As soon as you see someone announce their engagement on social media, you'll immediately start wondering whether you'll be invited.
4. But it'll never stop feeling weird that you're old enough to know people who are getting married.
5. You'll find buying engagement and wedding cards really fun.
6. At some point you'll decide on the maximum amount of money you're prepared to spend on wedding gifts.
7. So you'll always find it awkward when couples ask for contributions to their honeymoon.
8. Going to weddings every weekend makes it almost impossible to plan a summer holiday.
9. It also means you'll have to buy a whole bunch of new accessories.
10. By the time you've been to a few weddings, you'll know your wedding routine and how best to prepare for it.
11. And you'll have broken in one pair of heels that you know you can dance comfortably in.
12. Going to lots of weddings means you'll start ranking them in your own head.
13. Even if you're not close to getting engaged yet, going to other people's weddings will make you think about how you'd do things on your big day.
14. And you'll start noticing the little touches that make weddings more fun.
15. But you'll also make note of the things you wouldn't do.
16. You'll become an expert at locating the kitchen door that canapés and wedding cake come out of.
*walks up to microphone during wedding reception* *taps on mic; everyone smiles* "Anyone that doesn't want their cake, pass it to me please"
If you eat fewer than six canapés, you'll be disappointed in yourself.
17. And you'll get really good at drinking the maximum amount of free booze.
18. You'll also develop a dinner table routine for when you don't know anyone there.
19. And you'll learn to love the weddings that are basically just an excuse to catch up with old friends.
20. However many weddings you go to, you'll never stop getting a bit misty eyed whenever you see the bride.
21. And your heart will always explode during the couple's first dance.
22. Eventually you'll learn not to have hungover wedding regrets the next day.
23. And even though weddings have taken over your life, you know you'd be perfectly happy going to a new one every weekend forever.
