[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why people have weddings. It's such drama and cost. What is the point? I also don't get clamoring to go at all. I'd be like awesome, I didn't get invited![/quote]

I get weddings and I usually enjoy them but I DONT get destination weddings that are actually 4-5 day celebrations. You’re not royalty. And even royalty gets married at like, Westminster Abbey close to home. I also don’t get childless weddings when we are referring to family members children- like not having your niece and nephew there or not having your 12 year old cousin there. Weddings should be convenient for attendance , should include ALL family members of the family you are inviting unless it’s a friend from college, etc. And it should be a joyous celebration of the joining of two families. Bride outfit changes, 2 hours of professional photos between the ceremony and reception where guests have to stand around, having to stay at the Four Seasons on some island and blowing your vacation budget for the year- this stuff is ridiculous.

I’m not into destination weddings but it’s healthier to view a wedding as two people coming together NOT two families coming together. Marriage should not be a group sport with more than two players on the field. If the bride and groom want to step away from all the drama and mess of their families, good for them! [/quote]

Somewhat agree. It's not two families joining for most people I know. Most of us keep our families separate. Split holidays, visits, and other events. The only time the families are together is for some milestone usually for kids. They can get along or not, but they don't have to get along or even like each other or how little they see of each other.[/quote]
