[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American culture is insane. They either can’t separate themselves from children for one night or they’re so broke they can’t afford a babysitter for a few hours. I have friends who drug their three little kids around even to adult poker nights. It’s disgraceful.[/quote] Actually, most cultures around the world do not do childless weddings. When I’ve discussed this with international friends everyone finds the concept weird![/quote] +1. It's the insane individualism of certain strains of American culture that even make this idea possible. In cultures that see weddings as communal-family events, of which there are still plenty in America just outside UMC circles in big cities. The idea of "it's your big day, do what you want!" or bristling at the idea that you might have an obligation to other people is a way of starting a "marriage" that leads to the results you can see down the hall in the relationships forum.[/quote]
