I really think it depends on the couple who is getting married. If the bride-to-be has dreamed of having a big, fairy-tale wedding since she was a little girl, then it will mean a lot to her to have all the pageantry that comes with a great big wedding. If she doesn't get the wedding of her dreams, it might make her feel like the marriage has already started off on the wrong track. Women like me, however, don't really care about the wedding as much as the marriage itself, and we'd be happy with a simple, meaningful ceremony that really reflects our individual taste. As for me, any wedding will be my dream wedding as long as I can look down the aisle and see my beloved boyfriend standing at the altar and know in my heart that I know exactly who I'm marrying and that we love each other unconditionally..

I think that people who focus on the big wedding end up preparing more for the big day than for the marriage itself. Because you get so caught up in the flowers, dress, reception that you forget to look at the person that you are going to marry and make sure that you have the tools in place for a successful marriage. I've seen a lot of people who spent thousands of dollars (or their parents paid) and the bills for the wedding were still being paid for after the divorce.
In constrast, almost every person I've ever met who had a simple wedding ceremony were more focused on the relationship and in ensuring they had a long and happy relationship.
If I had it all to do over again, I would go for the smaller wedding. I found quite a few surprises about who I married because I was so caught up in the plans. By focusing on preparing for the relationship, he and I could have discussed a lot more critical issues so we were better prepared to become one.

None of those bless a marriage. Having a happy relationship, with a strong bond to each other is what blesses a marriages.
Expensive rings and big houses mean nothing without true happiness first.

I don't know, I had simple ceremony, reception at a friends house, a not so expensive ring, and a normal house. And I have been with him for 13yrs, knock on wood. I think it all depends on the person you are marrying. If the girl wants a big ceremony, big ring, big house, I would be worried, you never know what the future brings, so you never know when you could loose your money. If money is lost, will the girl leave too? Assuming you are a guy.

I have long believed, after my own experience of this subject and watching what has gone on around me with other couples, that too much empasis on the extravagance of the wedding day itself shows a lack of maturity or common sense about hwo this is only ONE day and resources should be kept in reserve for all the many YEARS ahead. A big blast of a wedding also might indicate a tendency toward flashiness and shallowness, neither of which will serve a marriage well in the long run!

The blessing doesnt come from the ceremony, but the people getting married who decide to make the marriage work.

Neither matters. The only thing that matters is the love you share with each other. The ring is just a symbol of that love. And no, the bigger the ring doesn't mean the more he loves you. Just plan the wedding you both want and drop all that pretense out the window. Nothing matters except what makes you guys happy.

Blessing doesn't come from things. What would really bless the wedding is love between the couple and acceptance of each others shortcomings and supportive families on both sides.

As long as you love each other and you are married under God, then you will be truly blessed. Spending more money doesn't make you more blessed. It's the things that money can't buy that makes you blessed.
