Money attempts to disguise itself as love in these over-the-top fiascoes. I’m not to judge…but these types of weddings have nothing to do with who I am or my infinite love for THE person in my life.
What is there to prove, especially when love can’t be mimicked?
Its internal…spiritual…unexplainable. A wedding could only hope to come as close this beautiful phenomena.
I only dream to create my wedding true to myself, the love of my life, and the most important people in it.
Thank you for your article.

It is NOT JUST ONE DAY! Why do people say that?! That’s like saying that it is equal with other days, that what you’re doing on your wedding day has the same value as every other day. How can anyone who understands the sacredness and commitment of marriage view it as “just one day”. It is the day when you decide to make it official in front of your friends, family, and God that you have chosen to become each other’s lover, friend, and family forever.
As for being able to guarantee that “if you ask any bride what half of the symbolism of her lavish wedding means, she won’t know. Or even care.” How the hell do you know. Just because you don’t seem to know or care doesn’t mean no one else does.
Marriage is not tradition run wild, it is a timeless tradition of a celebration of love and the joining of two lives and two families. People invite their friends and family to their wedding because when you decide to join you life with the man or woman you love, you want those closest to you to be there to share in your joy. You want to CELEBRATE. Of course we know what we’re celebrating, OUR MARRIAGE!! duh
Marriage is not an “outdated concept”. It is a timeless tradition and a sacred ordinance. And since when did people in the “political sector” start being right about much of anything?
So go ahead and question the so-called “archaic practices” if you want. Obviously to you, your marriage was “just one day”, no more important that any other day. But don’t that put that on those who understand the cause for celebration just because you don’t get it.

a wedding is something most girls dream of and is her one day to feel like a princess, the dress the flowers and all that good stuff..its something i feel should be embraced because you are declaring to not only each other, but the world your love for one another!
___ but like they say everyone has an their own opinion!!

i agree with many of your points,but remember that a wedding and marriage are 2 different things.certainly,weddings are frequently overblown,but marriage should be taken very seriousy..inviting close friends and family is sharing ,not looking for affirmation..marriage,by definition is a social contract,otherwise,youre just in a relationship… a commitment to marry is a legal,moral and social statement..

I am really glad that your wife found you. That way you aren’t trying to rob some woman who wants all of that beauty involved in a real wedding.
