Ever since I was
younger, weddings have been something that has had a positive connotation associated
along with it. Growing up, and even now, weddings are events that make me and all
of the people around me excited. As a child, my mother and I used to spend
Saturday mornings in our pajamas watching wedding-based shows like Bridezillas
and Say Yes to the Dress. Both her and I are fond of interior decorating as
well as fashion which are things that are heavily incorporated into weddings. Another
thing that supports my decision of the importance of a wedding is the Christian
values that I have been brought up on. Traditional weddings have Christian like
tendencies such as the pastor mediating the ceremony, the reading of scripture
and it being facilitated in a church. According to, “How Important Is a Marriage
Ceremony?” it says that “in any case, a wedding ceremony is meant to be a very
spiritual and bonding experience for the couple and for their friends and
family.” With religion and the person that I am marrying being important parts
of my life, I deem that a wedding is important. Weddings in my culture have a
positive connotation but I would go as far as to say that they also have a
positive connotation in American culture. Events such as publicly televised
weddings lead me to believe that America has a positive connotation as it
pertains to weddings. As a result of the overwhelming positivity that I see accompanying
weddings, of course I can’t wait until I am able to plan and execute my very
own wedding day. Weddings are, or should be, an important event that is
cherished by both the bride and groom and their families; the beautiful union
that the two loved ones have now formed and the excitement that accompanies it
is legible grounds for a celebration and should not be treated lightly.
Because of the
sentiment that I feel accompanies weddings, I think the price of weddings is
well worth it. It is an irreplaceable memory that can be shared between both
families and even future family such as future kids if they are in the plans. Supporting
this claim, “How Important is a Marriage Ceremony?”, says that, “in any case a
wedding ceremony is meant to be a very spiritual and bonding experience for the
couple and for their friends and family.” Personally speaking, I want a very extravagant
and symbolic wedding that has party-like aspects. It is indeed a joyous
occasion to find a lifetime partner as some people go their whole lives without
having the chance to experience having that. If I am graciously granted the
chance to find a lifetime partner, then I feel that a wedding is definitely appropriate
and something that’s sentiment and feeling is worth more than money. On the
topic of money as it regards to weddings, the payment arrangement I have heard
is that the bridesmaid and the groomsmen pay for their attire and the other amenities
of the wedding is split down the middle between the two families. I agree with
this payment arrangement as it is equal and fair cost management.
Overall, I think
that the concept of materialistic worth such as money is incomparable to the memories
and sentiment that will accompany the event of a wedding.
Nice job! Even though I still think they are way too expensive, I love it when the decor is on point and it has an immersive-fairy tale feeling to it.
