ENGLISH PROVERB
Because weddings are such grand occasions, guests are dressing up, dancing, reuniting with friends and family, feasting and partying. This also means that they are taking photos to commemorate the event, posting and checking in on social media and showing their epic good time. Tech-savvy couples are even setting up their wedding hashtags and promoting them on invites, their wedding websites and their programs, which encourages their guests to take even more photos and post to their social media channels. The euphoria of a fun and lively reception continues after the event ... it's common to see family and friends still posting images from that night long after its over.

At first you come to a wedding with a sort of preconceived notion of what a wedding is, and when you meet everyone you think it's going to unfold a certain way, but then it unfolds in a completely different way. It happens almost without realizing it. It's the unexpected aspects of the day that I get the most energy from. You might have a very controlled situation with a very controlled family. But in that instant, when they realize the enormity of the situation and you have a father with his daughter, you can really feel the emotion in that very brief moment. That is the best moment of the day.

Watching Cinderella, most girls have dreamed of marrying her prince in a royal wedding. As they grow up, they plan of their big day in details. Keeping all these in mind, modern weddings are arranged in such demanded themes these days. Wedding planners, caterers, DJs, makeup artists and photographers thrive on the wedding business. But are we actually spending our emotions and money in weddings? From renting a spectacular convention center to hiring the best professional photographer, modern weddings have become more focused on the wedding day rather than the significance of marriage itself. As such, weddings have now become a ceremony to just dress up, smile for pictures, eat and leave!

Gone With the Wind
We are spiritual people, and marriage is the relationship where two spirits seek communion with one another and seek to incarnate this communion in all the situations of their shared life. Weddings are full-person events. All four dimensions--physical, psychological, social, spiritual--are in play.

The Spiritual Wisdom Of The Gospels For Christian Preachers And Teachers
Congratulations! You're on your way to wedded bliss, becoming a "we" and enjoying all the accoutrements that entails -- overwhelming debt from the big day, remembering a honeymoon in a dream locale that you never saw because you were both so exhausted that you never left the hotel room, practicing the lies you'll tell about what a wonderful time you both had, getting home to find that your wedding pictures have come in and your eyes are closed in every one. Then, changing all of your IDs and official paperwork to match your new name and finding out that it isn't free, changing your beneficiary on your life insurance from your long-time friend and roommate, Mr. Whiskers, to your new spouse, making a will -- to insure that Mr. Whiskers is amply provided for in the event of a tragedy, of course -- even though your new better half thinks he's ONLY a cat, spending a year trying to remember to check the "married" box on everything and convincing the bank you've been with since your grandparents opened the account for you at age 2 that you are you.
