+Warwagon MVC Posted October 17, 2005 MVC Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) The marriage license get?s the job done because without it you are not legally married, yes the person preforming the ceromony does have to sign it, but you could do all the vows in the court house within 1 hour. So that would make an actual wedding of the same vows mainly for show. Some would call it a Tradition, while others call it a celebration. I call it more of a show, but that?s just me. Now go vo:D :D Edited October 17, 2005 by warwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n3wt Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 yes a priest does have to sign it, Say what. I would say its just for sure, but a great excuse to get tipsy and hit on someone who you hope you aren't related to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dior_addict Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I voted celebration. Usually, a wedding is a one-time celebration of the joining of two people. I like big weddings. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivand Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 For me it's a show, I actually dont see any real purpose behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It typically depends on who you ask, and I am referring to gender in this case. For men, typically, it just out of tradition. For Women, it much much more. Its symbolic, its a momentous occasion that she wants to show and celebrate with everyone that she found the man of her dreams and live happily ever after. Which is why they like big elaborate weddings. I have talked to many women about this subject and this is the general consensus. Thats why shows like "Do you want to marry a millionare" are so popular, not by men but women viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathray Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I would have to say all 3, as in my religion, it has been carried on through as a tradition of celebrating, but it also remains just for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 to me it's celebration time. there is so much unhappiness in the world, that, if done right, a wedding can be one of those great, everyone gets together and gets drunk fun times. speaking of which, my own is only 7 months away! SCARY! run for the hills!!!!!!! ripped :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a celebration as well, showing your love for one another and making it permanent (well...at least it should be permanent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian.wallis Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 In the UK you pay some taxes lower (or something like that) if you're married. So really, I guess you're just telling other people what the two of you know already, just in case they hadn't noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus ^i^ Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's for show.. nowadays when people get married and get divorced more often than I change socks, it doesnt mean anything anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbiotic Hat Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's just a party. I happen to be planning (sure ... we all know the woman does all the planning) one right now. If you are religious it would say tradition and probably something you think is necessary to make your holy bond with god. But if not, it's just a party where you get to get drunk and hang out with your friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remix17 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 It's a stupid tradition, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedogg Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Its a celebration of their love. An occasion to bring families together. A chance for other singles to meet each other. A great way to get the new couple started off (from all the wedding gifts/money). But most of all it is for the parents. This is one of the moments they've waited for, after raising their kid all those years, they are finally starting a family of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red. Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 in my opinion it's a show. i really don't want a wedding especially one of the indian ones which take ages. but if my wife wanted one really badly i might have one. but i'm most likely going to be forced to have a wedding and have like 500 people that i don't know there.
