Do you think a wedding ceremony is a kind of investment for the bride and bridegroom in their future life ?

a small one is better. it is more special to you and your fiance. it is easier on your pocketbooks. it will be more fun. If you have the money, spend it on a honeymoon. besides, the people who attend will be happier also with it small.

A wedding is a celebration of two people joining their lives. It's usually important (especially for women) to have a huge celebration. After all, this is a HUGE commitment. It's one of those things where you want to climb to the highest mountain top and yell to everyone that can hear about how in love you are. And when you get married, you should have this same feeling.
To me, there's nothing wrong with having a small wedding ceremony. But one's that are kept small and discrete seem almost as if they don't want anyone to know, b/c if anything messes up and they get divorced, then o'well, less people knew about it. A huge wedding is a sign of your commitment to each other and a way of letting all your friends and family in on the fact that you've found the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with. So yeh, I guess in a way, it's an investment. After all, you're going to remember this day for the rest of your lives. And every woman dreams of her magical, fairy tale wedding day.....it's the one day that she's special...she's noticed...she's the center of attention.

I dont think that it is. Really there is no point in having a really huge ceremony, only invite those whom are close to you and keep the budget down enough to go somewhere really nice on your honeymoon. that's what we did and when we got back we had a huge bbq and then invited those we didnt at the wedding. people understand in this day and age not everyone is donald trump and can afford a huge ceremony,. i have seen and heard of people who invited what i call pointless people to thier ceremony, people who werent even casual aquaintences and thier gifts and such were no more than the people who invited less.
one sure fire way though to make an enemy is not to invite really close family and friends.

It gives you a license to be married and allows you to be entitled to have claim on the assets you acquire. More important the wedding vows are repeated to one another. It is in it's self a simple ceremony but for fifty years I have taken those vows to be very important. I think I will Live Happily Ever After.

Waste of money if you ask me. We both got nice rings and some new clothes to get married in, and went to the JOP. Went to a very nice place for dinner,..alone! Went to work the next day. I am just as happy as if I had spent thousands of $$$. We went on a small honeymoon at vacation time. That was a little over 12 years ago, no regrets.

The only thing that matters is that you make the commitment. That's the only thing that you're really investing in. Having friends and family is great, but you're not there to impress and show off the fact that you just spent thousands of dollars just for ONE day. You can still invite a lot of people and make it simple, affordable, and more than anything, memorable.

Religion aside, the wedding ceremony (and reception) is supposed to be the occasion in which you and your bride are recognized as one by your community, headed by the sponsors. As such, the community and especially the sponsors are supposed to not only endorse but to actively support your union and help keep you together.

Wedding is just one of the most unnecessary things in life.
I guess you can find a better way to spend all that money: like, go on a holiday on some tropical islands and merry there (if you want to), on the sandy beach.

yah, good question. When i got married i spent alot of my earnings for the preparation for the big day, 1 whole day. Now i'm thinking what if i just save that money for the rainy days. A day is just a day, it will come to pass. If you want to prove to your future wife that you love her save for her future and not on her wedding day. If you want to prove to your in-laws that you are the best for their daughter love your wife. Everyday is a day to celebrate, but tomorrow is what makes the present exciting.

IMO, it's a motivation to take their relationshp seriously and it's just too bad the ceremony does not come with several relationship books to teach them HOW to make a good relationship. the vow alone, if followed, might help them establish a good relationship - but who ever takes those vows seriously?
