I guess so since you cannot get a divorce unless you're married.

Marriage remains a religious aspect that the government decided to profit from by issuing paperwork and requiring blood tests in certains states. I do not remember where in the bible it says you have to pay for a piece of paper for it to be considered "marriage". Handfasting prevailed prior to "marriage certficates" throughout many countries and nations. They never retained paperwork for verification of marriage. Common law marriages recognized in many states in this country and other countries today......

IMO, as long as recognized by others or introduced as married couple no different than buying the paperwork.......


your very right, but you left out the churches too... they seem to make a profit on it also. it also seems like to me that it is a very stressful day, esp. for the bride. if it such a day of happiness, why is there so much stress on the "perfect wedding?" if 2 people are joining to be together for the rest of their lives, it supposed to a happy time, with no stress and and worries. every wedding i've been to or seen, seems to be a more stressful time than anything else.


Potlatch bar-b-que! BYOB That's my plan if I ever got married. LOL! I can wrangle a friend into making a cool wedding dress for me (and it won't be totally white ill, another friend to marry us, have it at home (definitely NOT a church) and keep it inexpensive.

Sadly, it's a goofy pipe dream.

If marriage isn't right for you, that's fine. That doesn't mean it isn't right for others, though.


Of course it works for some folks, but when I look at the divorce rate, I think those people are rare. How many people marry, and stay together for life ? I'd love to see the pie chart on that.


I know several couples who have been together for many years. My parents, for example, have been married for 38 years.


My parents celebrated 50 years this year.


I love meeting those couples who have been together forever bigsmile

I'd just go with jeans instead. Why get all dressed up. I say be comfortable, and have it in a campground, so you don't even to buy flowers bigsmile

Most married people I know (who have been married for awhile, not newly weds) are pretty miserable. My mom and "stepdad" have been together for 17 years and I think that's mostly due to the fact that they never actually got married.

To me theres no greater commitment than staying with someone because you want to and not because you are tied to them by the church or government.

i guess most women and men see the wedding day differently. i'm not opposed to marriage at all, but the way i see it, if we love each other and want to marry, it doesn't really matter where and how. having a big fancy wedding is more to show off in front of friends and family. a small chapel and a few friends is all would want, or vegas, either is fine with me.


If people would put as much time, energy and effort into their marriages as they do the wedding, party, food, rings, clothes and impressing everyone there may be less divorces.

I've been to some very extravagant weddings and the marriage seems to be a let down after such a big shabang!
