I think the divorce rate is something like 60 percent now... I live in a very italian area - there are two monstrous churches within 1 mile from me... there are weddings every weekend... the weddings are the little girls dream of the fairy princess poufy dress with the 15 attendents in satin and the men looking dashing in their tuxes... These girls (they are not women) are getting their fantasy wedding -- will this marriage go the distance? Probably not - because they want the wedding not the marriage.
If weddings were simpler and less involved -- many of these 22 year old fairy princess brides would put more thought into getting married and the divorce rate would drop.
People do not often equate a wedding with til death do us part for better or worse marriage.
That's just my opinion and I admit to bitterness.
