[TEXT: It sounds silly, the hardest part of coming to terms with my aromanticism was accepting that I will never have a wedding.
I wish I could have a platonic marriage.]

I’ve been planning my wedding since I was a little girl, and it hurts to think that I will never get to experience it, that I will never get to put any of these plans in motion. I can’t even use my plans for any of my friends weddings, because a lot of it was symbolic and wouldn’t really apply to anyone else.

Maybe it will get easier someday, but right now it makes me want to cry.

You can still have a wedding, anon! I’m aromantic and I like the idea of a queerplatonic/platonic wedding as well. To me a wedding is more like “I want to be with you forever” than “I want to be with you romantically forever”. You can still have an awesome celebration! Who says you can’t if that’s what you want?
