It really seems like everyone is getting engaged these days. Personally, I have to attend six weddings next year and I already feel like I deserve all the awards for my patience. As we approach fall wedding season, let us at the very least indulge in some humor to make the lost time and expenses ever so slightly easier to swallow.
One thing that has become even more difficult to take in is engagement culture. We're not even talking about the wedding, honey. We're talking about the constant social media posts, the highly posed photo shoots (you expect me to believe you willingly went to a desert in that dress?), and the obligatory beginning of any conversation with your engaged friend in which you assess and discuss the ring for the millionth time. Engagement culture has become its own beast. Once again, the only way to get through it is to laugh at the situation when applicable.
Comedian Shannon Fiedler is providing great "engagement culture" commentary with recent back-to-back impressions on Instagram of a Connecticut girl getting engaged and a Boston girl getting engaged. Keep scrolling to watch below!
Connecticut Girl Getting Engaged
We all know this person. Blinded by their own bougie diamond ring. Fiedler is giving us Charlotte York from Sex and the City vibes here through and through. It doesn't even really matter who she's getting married to as long as she's getting married. Rest assured, though, he is definitely from Greenwich and comes from a “good family” (hmm…what could that mean, Charlotte?). Take a look at Fiedler's impression of a Boston girl getting engaged for the contrast!
Boston Girl Getting Engaged
First of all, great costuming and great accent work. Clearly crucial to nailing the impression. Second of all, the contrast here is what makes for some great comedy. You gotta hand it to the Boston girl for wanting a simple wedding. Who cares about elegance? This girl's wedding will be fun, no question. Will a fight break out about some sports team I know literally nothing about? Possibly, and if it does, I'm here for it. Nothing like drama at the wedding to make it easier to stomach the fact that this is one of six weddings you have to go to this year (pray for me, everyone).
For more wedding-related drama, take a look at this story, in which the father of the bride paid for the wedding and then wasn't allowed to walk his daughter down the aisle.
