I'm a wedding photographer, so I of all people shouldn't have this opinion, but I feel large, fancy, expensive weddings cheapen marriage.
In my line of work, I have seen weddings that cost well over 100k dollars, and a couple times, by the time I had the pictures ready to be picked up, the couple was already on the outs.
I'm all for marriage- happily married myself- but I don't understand the need people have for a huge wedding. My husband and I had a very small ceremony and only invited our immediate families.
It has somehow become the bride's big day to have a party for herself and has very little to do w/ love. I understand celebrating your love. I don't understand the need for several thousand dollars worth of flowers, a ten foot tall cake, a 10 thousand dollar dress, etc. Save that money- buy a house- do something to give yourselves a head start as a family- don't start out your marriage fighting about money.
If you're in love, get married.. If you want a parade, have a parad
