I think the whole fiasco of a wedding dinner is absurd.
The couple starts their marriage in debt. Then there's also the
stupidity of having to entertain people who sometimes feel they
have other better things to do than to go there but turn up because
of an obligation and "face"... the couple give "face" to invite, we
have to give "face" and turn up.
The couple themselves... have to begin the whole day, on their
happiest day, running around doing things to please everyone else
who will end up criticising everything about the proceedings.
Then there's the silly dinner at some expensive place where
everything is choreographed... like some kind of performance where
the bride and groom are the performing monkeys... a dinner will be
served to everyone there.. and the majority will be those who would
rather be watching the football or a movie..
At the end of the circus, the groom will be forced to drink all
kinds of sick and deranged things from idiot 'friends' and be
wasted out of his brains with potential damage to his liver..
Are these things really necessary?
Many think so... I don't...
p.s.
I forgot to add this: many couples plan for the circus and their
wedding.. how many couples plan their MARRIAGE?
