Only if you experience one like we went to a few months ago. The photos weren't even halfway through when the bride and groom had their first argument, then the groom was hammered and made a total hash of his speech which was embarrassing for everyone concerned. He then disappeared from the venue for about an hour when the cake was about to be cut, rather than being concerned his bride sat having yet another *** and vodka with her friends. When he came back she yelled "where the f*** have you been?" across the bar in a great show of concern, he then refused to cut "the f***ing cake" and was later found outside saying "oh god what have I done?"
I give them until Christmas.
Our wedding, on the other hand, was a great party and a lovely start to our lives together - mainly because we got married for the right reasons!

It is only a terrible way to start your married life if you throw yourselves horribly into debt to pay for it. Starting out your life together with a huge debt hanging over your head, for a 1 day party, is a terrible idea. Only have the type of wedding you can afford.

People really need to mark big events in their lives with some kind of tradition. A lot of cultures celebrate the beginning of marriage with a wedding. In the US,weddings have gotten away from family gatherings and turned into huge productions. I agree that an over-the-top wedding is a horrible way to start a marriage. Putting that much stress and financial burden on one day is silly,especially considering the divorce rate.

A wedding should be a celebration with friends and families... But, for some reasons, most of the weddings are synonym of stress, expenses, huge amount of guests, staged and timed like a theatre play!
Why?

We had a very quiet "do".
Got married on a Monday - so that most people would be at work!
Decided it would be just him, me, the Registrar and we'd pull in a couple of people from the street as Witnesses; our first married lunch somewhere local, then hop on a train for a couple of weeks in Cornwall. I made my dress (in blue because it was his favourite colour).
As it turned out, ten people turned up and we went to a steak bar for lunch - then on to the train for Cornwall.
That was 48 years ago - wonder how many of these over-the-top affairs will last that long?

I agree, you should have at least a 6 months honeymoon first and then when you are comfortable with each other you should then think about a wedding.
A wedding is a very stressful occasion and should only be done after you are settled down.

Depends what your wedding is like I guess, personally I don't want to go into debt for the sake of one day, so we've kept it simple, and we're both looking forward to the party.

Don't know about starting married life, but georgeous full length gowns ought to be at least a twice a year thing, not just once a lifetime - what a waste !!
And that's brides and bridesmaids.

Yes, a couple could put a nice downpayment on a house with what some people spend on a lavish wedding.

Not if you don't go into debt for the wedding. And if you are smart you have already lived with each other. That way you know what you are getting into.
