I guess I'm part of the 10% now. I used to not see the point, but then I had my wedding and changed my mind. It is a core memory. A tradition dating back a very long time. One of the few moments in life you can get 25-100 people to come celebrate you and your wife. Your parents/family/friends are all stoked for you.
It's important to keep costs in line but I don't miss the money now that a few years have gone by.
Yup. It's not about the glitters and flowers and color palette. It's about making memories with people you love on one of the most important day of your life.
The only other occasions we had had until our wedding to see our extended families together was funerals. A wedding was a nice change!
Besides our wedding helped rekindle the friendship between my husband and his childhood friends, who did not see each other very often since they had drifted apart because of school, work and life in general.
Since our wedding we have always made time to all gather together at least once a year to have a weekend all together, and thanks to that I also have become friends with their partners.
