My theory had always been those that spend the 20k on a wedding are the
ones trying to convince everyone the marrage will work. It's like
putting up a false front, they have to make it appear like it's the
perfect fairytale scenereo with the church wedding, white roses,
baloons, clowns, and everyone on earth there. It's all a front, with
divorce papers being filed within 5 years.
True love doesn't need all that crap, just the vows and the willingness
to commit to one person forever. If you have that, all the weding crap
is insignificant. :)
Plus at a small wedding, you feel more appreciated. Expecially when
they unwrap that brand new George Forman Mean Lean Grilling Machine you
got them as a wedding gift! You can smell the love sizzle! :)
