I do...not?
Weddings are interesting occasions.
Some people have only parties to celebrate some kind of union which already exists, while others opt for the formality in sacred temples.
Some people say that when you have a party is never for you, but for the guests... think about a traditional wedding: months of preparation... details... think of you've seen before and didn't like, innovations or things that must be kept.
I was definately wondering if after so much of stress and preparation there is actually time to enjoy the party without worrying about things or the next thing that has to be done.... "Will the baby crying loud in the church spoil the video?"; "Where are the flowers we were suppose to give to the guests?"; "The cake is not looking like the one was ordered!!". So many things to think about.... happiness is definately not on the list.
But still people get married, being a convention or an opportunity to celebrate.
I met many western people, who don't believe in religion but want to get married (and of course I mean legal terms). I don't understand.
One thing wedding parties worth for sure: you will never be able to have so many people around you, celebrating something relating to you for so many hours apart from a wedding. Everybody comes! The close friends, all relatives, neighbours, people from the office, school, university... everybody! With so many people you will definately feel loved.
I don't know... maybe thats what is all about.

You have a point. Maybe the wedding ceremony is just an excuse to celebrate life.
But what comes after? I'm still afraid of losing any freedom. Any choice. Any youth...
