Pass the Aspirin, Wedding Bells Are Ringing and Ringing and Ringing - New York Times:

It’s exactly this time of year, as August grinds along, that you see young men and women suffering from a powerful seasonal affliction. They drag through their days looking drained, sluggish. It’s not the heat. It’s not even the humidity. It’s the weddings.

Summer is supposed to be a season of peace, of relaxation — time to hang the Gone Fishin’ shingle and take a break. Instead it has become a gantlet of festivities. Five weddings in a single season have left me a nearly broken man, and I have several friends and acquaintances who have gone to even more. I have wedding fatigue and I am not alone.
