With high divorce rates. Having an expensive formal wedding is like throwing your money on a private show or party. To me its a gamble that i wouldnt take. Yes i like to get married but i would have it at the court house and have a nice dinner with family and friends

Isn't it also about sharing your wonderful union with the other people who matter to you? I don't think there is -or has been- a people that did not celebrate a marriage. So the joy and sharing with others, making it a really memorable and festive day. Making it a very special event, after all marrying is something big. It's also the opportunity for others that love you to express their love and well-wishes. Disadvantage is the cost, yes, but isn't that at the same time part of making it special? Saving up for it because it means so much to you. In a way you can then also wonder if throwing a party is ever worth it, if it's not just providing people with free booze and food. Isn't the joy and shared happiness more important? Let me get this straight. The adv you mentioned is intertwined with cost. Hence no dis. Is that what you are saying, Sparkle or arre there any disadvantages? No, the advantages are not intertwined with cost. The cost can be regarded as not solely 'disadvantage' but also part of the pre-fun. Matter of perspective. If you want your day to be festive and grand and it's going to cost a bit, then the saving up for it can become an exciting and fun part of the whole. That's called "a positive outlook on life" :) Understood. I like the "positive outlook on life " part |

Private ceremony is enough |

Never done it and doubt I ever will so I'm disqualifying myself from this one.
I will say I think it's really foolish for a young couple to spend big money on a wedding. |

The perfect wedding ceremony is a drive-through wedding chapel in Vegas with Elvis marring you as you stand up in the sunroof of a limo...
It's relatively cheap and one hell of a story to tell people!

This is true story. I wouldnt call it adv or dis. Its plain sad.
There is a couple I Know a while back. In the middle of their wedding ceremony they had an argument. It got heated like anything. Nobody can do anything to make the argument go away- the best men, families..nobody. Then two cars were called-forthe groom and the bride Then after a coupla days we heardtheir divorce was finalized.We were utterly shocked. Still to this day theydont talk to each other |

Hmm... if you enter a relationship with the underlying belief it will not last you better not get involved at all.
Again, it's a matter of perspective. I don't see divorce as a bad thing. I think it's quite normal that people outgrow one another after a while. The same happened with me and my once husband. I am a person who want to learn and evolve, he rather doesn't and prefers to keep things the same. So at some point the gap becomes to great and you part. Isn't that beautiful? A few decades ago this wouldn't have been possible and we would've been forced to remain together even though we didn't make each other happy anymore. What a way to live! Now I don't enter a relationship with the fundamental belief it won't last, not at all! And of course I also hope it will last. But you got to be realistic and accept where we're at in development, meaning most relationships are 'learning relationships'. Some may last, many won't. I don't regret having had a wedding and spending money at it at the time. It was a milestone, a grand experience and I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world! I for one would never have this cheap wedding, going to city hall in my jeans, say "Yes" and that's it. If I do agree to marry it has to be festive, and a memorable event. Since my family & social circle is very small it would be a small thing, but something special nonetheless. |

The wedding is the more formal, serious part, but not always. The reception afterwards is like a big party.

Can anybody tell me the advantage and disadvantage of a wedding ceremony?
Depends on the ceremony. I mean in the U.S. you can go down to the courthouse and get married by a judge. You can go to Vegas and get married by an Elvis impersonator. In Mexico City you can have a grand lavish ceremony involving hundreds of people. Wedding ceremonies aren't one size fits all. What specific and exact wedding ceremony are you referring to. Lemme start with the obvious disadvantage-COST
Advantage- Free food and free booze for the invited people As mentioned, you can go through the "ceremony" in front of a judge and a witness. You don't have to provide them food. You can plan your "ceremony" with family and friends and make it a potluck. Not to mention there is a difference between a wedding ceremony and wedding reception. You can have a ceremony without a reception. |

Advantage - having a party afterwards
Disadvantage - having to wear a pretty uncomfortable dress to the party |
