It’s just traditonal and not everyone has a traditional wedding.
People who want to spend alot of money on their weddings do, those who want to do it cheaply do that also. It’s a personal choice, you don’t have to agree with it, but i’m sure you enjoy a great free meal and drinks for the evening!
Maybe to symbolize their marriage, as a celebration, renown to the world, etc
I totally agree. Then they end up living in some trashy apartment somewhere broke with 3 toasters they got from a bunch of 20 year old yahoos. Then they’re divorced in 6 months.
not everyone sees it the same way that you do. Some view it as a once in a lifetime event, that you should be a little extravagant on. It shouldn’t really matter to YOU unless it is your money they are spending, so why not enjoy all the trouble the couple went through so that everyone could have a fun and joyus day.
I totally agree. I just got married in April, and I tried to get my wife to go to the justice of the peace. I think we did pretty well. She found a nice dress from David Bridal for a couple of hundred dollars, and we joined church(we have been going there for 2yr) so we wouldn’t have to pay for it. We also go a good package deal for the reception hall and food. You can have a very nice wedding and not spend too much. Good luck.
Weddings are a big waste of time for YOU. Please don’t speak for all involved. Many of us enjoy sharing the joy and celebrating with our family and friends.
Weddings are an important lifecycle event, and some of us like to celebrate with our family and friends. If one wants a catered affair with a band, flowers, etc., that’s going to cost money. It’s up to the bride and groom to decide whether it’s a waste of money.
Our ceromony lasted the whole hour. Yes, I spend hundreds (not thousands) on my dress, but it was custom made and it will be in my pictures forever. Despite being on a budget, I agree things are way overpriced. Our marriage has lasted because we agreed Divorce will never be an option. Not all marriages fail.
I wonder the same thing all the time, Everyone I know that spent a lot of $$$ on there weddings they ended in divorce and the 2 couples I know that just got married, are still going strong after almost 28 and 30 years of marriage.
People spend a lot of money on their wedding because they want it to be the most memorable day for themselves and everyone that joined them! Not to say that you need to spend this cash to feel that way, but if you have to then I say get married the way you’ve dreamed of it all your life.
