Imagine the hot friendship sex they must be having

Well I'm sure they said "no homo", so it doesn't count.

Oh my god, they were roommates.

Didn't read the community, but got to "dating for two years" and "living together for 1.75" and immediately said to myself "that's a lesbian"

How so? Most people I know dated for a few years and lived together before getting married, myself included. I read that and it could literally mean anything.

They dated for 3 months before moving in together. I know it's a stereotype but lesbians love to move way too fast in their relationships

I think it is largely a holdover from when the marriages weren't legal. It wasn't like lawyers had to get involved for a divorce, just the exrra help with a u-haul trailer.

Then again over the winter holiday my 17 year old cousin was talking with her new girlfriend about plans to move in together for summer before college. They just broke up. So maybe some things never change.

Friendship wedding does sound like a great idea, though

[โ€“] Agent641@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Don't let the wedding industry get hold of that comcept

Yeah, my friend group absolutely did this stuff when we were young adults

Huh, only one bedroom. I wonder who has to sleep on the couch.

typical women afraid of true commitment

They just haven't met the right man, they'll definitely settle down once they do.

...and they were gal and pal...

oh my god, they were gal and pal.

Up until the wedding invite it was plausible to just be roommates though.
