This is a very good question and I often wonder the same thing...The wedding is all a show...It is cliche....People try to go all out and out do the others...It is crazy...I believe in personalizing your wedding to be more meaningful but to spend mega bucks on it...That is insane...You can not buy love nor can you put a price on happiness!

A wedding and marriage are two completely different things. A wedding is fun and exciting. A marriage can also be fun and exciting, but as time goes on things start to mellow out a little bit. A marriage takes a lot of hard work, and so does a wedding, but a wedding is the fun work. A marriage requires that you take a good long hard look at your self and sometimes it is not pretty what you see. A wedding is very pretty. A marriage requires that you not think about your self first all of the time. A wedding is one day, a marriage is a life time. It is easier to focus on one pretty day instead of thinking about the entire rest of your life. Marriage is also wonderful, but you have to keep working at it.

because people think a marriage is about the wedding and not the actual marriage people put to much effort in to planning the wedding and not enough effort in the marriage but people don't understand that there is a life after the wedding day

GREAT QUESTION !!! I am so glad someone came up with something unique and well thought of on here as you get the same questions over and over again . I was married by a justice , then a year latter we had our wedding reception ....Our marriage has much more effort placed into it then the reception . Which myslef I really could not care less if I had as I was not getting married for the same of other people but myself . My husband wanted it . We have even moved further away from certain busy bodies who have tried to create conflict in our lives .....( not from anyone in my family as they all respect me enough not to feel they can run my life )

Most people dream about their wedding all their lives, so I guess when the time comes to plan the wedding they get so excited and involved forgetting what they're actually getting themselves into. I think some people get so caught up in the whole idea of a 'wedding' they forget the 'marriage' and commitment they are entering into. A marriage takes work. You don't exchange vows and then woo hoo everything's perfect. All relationships take work.

Good Question! I didn't want a big wedding for this reason. I didn't want to spend $10,000 and invite people that I rarely see. Instead, I had a small wedding of just immediatly family on New Year's Eve and spent around $2,000. I saved $8,000 (my husband's parents contributed some money) and I didn't start of my marriage with a huge debt hanging over my head!

Because they have no clue about what they are getting into, except for those based mostly on romantic notions of being married instead of the reality, and no education about what marriage is all about. When the reality hits them in the face, a lot of folks cut & run.

If they had 200 guests watching their marriage, they would put the effort into that.

that's a good question but seems as though I am getting married in 13 days, I hope that's not the case for me. but some people want to get married to say that they are and others do it out of love for each other

That's a very good question. I got married at the magistrate. It cost $37 and I have been married for a long time.
