it's not even marriage he doesn't agree with, its specifically a wedding.

And for good reason. How many people go to marriages to either:

1: Drink on someone else's dime

2: to inflict their own beliefs onto the couple

Weddings aren't for the bride and groom, if they were, they wouldn't send the couple in debt.

I think that’s beautiful. Backyard wedding are actually pretty common these days.

I’m not religious so if I ever get married, I think I’d want it to be in a beautiful outdoor location rather than a church.

Traditionally, weddings are paid for at least in part by the couples families. Unfortunately not every family is able to pay.

I think weddings are definitely over priced and there’s still some societal pressure. However, people in the younger generations are definitely changing the way we do things.

Smaller weddings, non traditional weddings, and eloping are all becoming more and more common. I would never force or coerce a partner into a we’d ceremony they don’t want to participate in.

Personally, if someone came and was being a nuisance, I’d kick them out no problem.
