This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When we were picking out a photographer for our wedding, we heard a piece of advice that had stuck with me over the years. Which was to think of wedding photos as an appreciating asset that gets more valuable over time.

You can look at your photos the week after the wedding and they might not seem all that special. The memories are still fresh and not much has changed. But then when you look at them on your 10th or 20th anniversary , it brings up those memories you had forgotten about. It reminds you of happy times with friends and relatives that might be dead now. Fast forward to 50 years later and those pictures might be the most priceless thing that you have.

So yeah... AI photos might fill that Instagram need of modern weddings, but long-term feel completely worthless. Hoping this story is fake as well, but wouldn't be surprised if there's some truth to it.
