wedding or marriage?

both are important actually because the wedding is the seal to your marriage. in general, it only happens once so you really have to celebrate it. and it's also the time you commit to God and to all the people of your love for each other so that's 1 reason to celebrate. further more, it's your first day as husband and wife. but of course, it's only 1 day, and the rest is the married life you'll be facing forever. but in my opinion, i believe you should have prepared for marriage already before preparing for a wedding. because once you've agreed on the wedding, that only means that you are ready to spend the rest of your life with your partner, right? =)

i guess it's okay to get excited about their wedding, especially for women who probably started planning about their "dream wedding" since the day they walked down the aisle as flower girls. it's one of the very few days in a non-celebrity woman's life that she's the "star" of the show, she is the most beautiful girl in the gathering, and all eyes are on her. but you have a point in saying that some people are just "too excited" about the wedding that they forget about what lies ahead of the ceremony. it's even funnier to think about those who spend so much for their wedding but their marriage goes down the drain even before they celebrate their first anniversary. i think that no matter how simple or extravagant a wedding is, the couple must never forget the reason why they are going through that ceremony in the first place. the most important thing is making sure that the love you both share is strong enough to withstand any hardships that married life may bring.

well me single till yet, but yes i agree wth u tht its nt one day talk, its life time commitment.. n we should choose that one wth whom we can spend whole life wth that way that we think or want, instead of think of only one wedding day.. n would be remem always this point n will mrry only tht one wth whom i can be live happily n canb share whole life..

I'm actually getting married next year and I have to say I've been with my girl for more than 4 years now. I would have to say I know everything there is to know about my fiancee and I'm still excited to marry her. I guess the reason for that is because I love her so much and our wedding would be the symbol of that love. It'll also mean that we'll finally be one in the eyes of The Lord and everyone else. )

i have no regrets about our church wedding. for me, it was very special and memorable. true, it was only one day but im glad we made the most out of it.

I've been married for 9 months now.. and yes, I never regretted doing all the preps for my wedding.. Looking back now, I wished I could have done more.. hehe It is just one day.. but a first wedding is a first wedding.. and it will never happen again in my lifetime.. Of course, you should have the basics... having a great relationship!! And you can work on your marriage everyday.. for a lifetime.

I think that it is crazy to get nuts over one day of your lives together that is why me and my husband chose to get married at the jp and renew our vows on an anivisary when we were ready to do so we have been hapily married for four wonderfull years and it did not take a ceremoney that cost us thousands of dollars to bring that to us ... he brings happiness to me and i to him and thaat is all we will ever need....

I never cared for the wedding day. I just couldnt wait to be married to him. Our wedding turned out beautiful. But we never went over board with the spending. I'm glad the wedding day is over with, cuz its so much more funner being married then just the day you get married.
