Arranged Marriage
Dream from 5/30/19
I was made to marry this guy who I barely knew for unknown reasons and the whole thing was like bare bones/bare minimum (cost like $1000 for the whole wedding). It took place in my middle school's assembly hall and there was this weird, almost-rabbi dude mumbling something on stage while I waited to go up and meet my to-be husband, whose name I barely knew. My dress was dumb and I realized that I didn't have any makeup on and I didn't even have the chance to shower after derby practice, so my hair was all gross. I don't think I had a veil, either.
Anyway the rabbi no one could understand finally stopped and refused to continue until everyone sang this weird song, and when that was done I finally got to go up onstage and see my groom. Who was wearing baggy jeans and a green sports jersey. I said my vows that I improvised on the spot (using a shitty microphone and addressing the audience instead of my groom), which were something along the lines of "I've always thought my future husband was one of the most attractive people in the world and his wit and intelligence mad me fall in love with him" etc etc, all of which was bullshit and I avoided using his name because I still wasn't sure about it. And he wasn't ugly, just average looking, very jock-like. He was also dumb as a box of rocks.
Anyway, I wrapped up in about 30 seconds cause I ran out of things to say and couldn't be fucked to talk more (also I didn't promise him anything), he took the mic and did some weird karaoke song in german that was about firefighters, but he didn't pay for the song to play so there weren't any subtitles on the karaoke video so he just stood there awkwardly mumbling into the mic for like 3 minutes. And this whole time I'm like 'why the fuck am I marrying this guy' and I'm determined not to let this affect my life at all, like I'm still going to live on my own in my apartment and basically ignore that he exists.
Cut to the consummation, which was in a fucking swamp/jungle thing and I realize that he's never had sex before (somehow).
Then we find an old chest with a couple treasure maps in it, and I fall down this deep hole but manage to catch myself on the sides of it and hang onto some roots until him and some other people who are up there can tie enough vines together to fish me out.
