Why I Hate Going To Weddings
It's not that I hate weddings, let the record state that personally I would rather go to a wedding after there has been a marriage because not to many people are staying together. Think about it… they invite all of their friends, a pastor (Whose church they probably don't attend or half attend) and half of the church staff, most of the time those participants in the wedding are spending their own money on a tux or a dress, and you have relatives and others driving in from out of town, and if the couple doesn't stay together… a lot of time and resources have been wasted. If people would put the same effort in a marriage that they put in a wedding the marriage might last. Often, the bride and groom are too tired to consummate their marriage on their honeymoon because they have exhausted themselves preparing for the wedding.
Heck, not to many are even trying to stay together and be faithful. Don't misunderstand me, I know that sometimes a divorce is 'necessary' but I think before any breaking up takes place, consideration should be given of all those folks who took time to attend the wedding. If you are like me you hate to waste time. I say, let the initial wedding be private and conservative. Maybe family and the closest of friends only. Then after a year or so have a wedding celebration. Let family and friends bring gifts then. Most folks are not virgins when they marry anyway and have already been fornicating and even already living together. In my opinion, the don't need a wedding, they need to get married.
Look at all the weddings you have been to. How many of those couples are still together? News FLASH: People will divorce and then invite you to another wedding. Try this, add up the time of everyone attending, and think about those playing a role in the wedding also, when you add up all of those hours you have a lifetime. Last thing is this, please don't take this article personally, this is just my opinion!
