We get it: not everybody wants to get married or plan a wedding of their own, and sometimes even being in the bridal party or just going as a guest [1] can be overwhelming, expensive, and exhausting. With all the wedding season excitement going around this time of year, it's natural to think to yourself, "I don't." Which is where our antiwedding music playlist [2] comes in.
We've rounded up 32 songs about love triangles, enjoying your singledom, and being a runaway bride — basically, music that you would not play during your nuptials. But, if you're feeling particularly petty at your next wedding, just casually request one of these bad boys [3], go back to the bar, and sip Champagne while you wait for everyone to register the lyrics. Happy wedding season!
