Weddings used to be considered sacred events where two people committed their lives to each other before God. The guests were just witnesses and the reception was a restaurant dinner with a few toasts and well-wishes. Now it's all a choreographed performance where a slut-bunny shows off how rich her temporary stud-buddy is by throwing a lavish party she can brag about on Facebook. Then she gets divorced 5 years later and repeats.
Ive always wondered if a woman gets addicted to the marriage, and not the man, hence the high divorce rate
For all the BS about feminism, women still salivate at the idea of a wedding where they become the pampered red-carpet superstar of a small theater production. Why settle for just once in a lifetime when you can do it every few years?
My brother spent several years with a women before finally marrying her. Did it in the judges office with 3 witnesses.
The after-party was mostly our large family, though we did spend a pretty penny on booze.
My husband and I also did the judge ceremony. We only had a wedding because his mother flipped that her only child didn't have a wedding.
Weddings are a good indicator of what the marriage will be like in my opinion. The more lavish, the more unrealistic, the harder the marriage is going to be. Unless the in law is the one pushing for things, but even then it's a good indicator of how much of a problem they will be in your relationship. Luckily, my husband keeps her at a long distance and we no longer interact with her much anymore.
If you go to a wedding of a more trad culture there's still a lot of family bonding involved. No idea if they still get divorced
