I really wish I could understand the thinking behind statements like "marriage isnt important" or "what difference really, and practically, does being married make" but I just can't.
maybe Im not understanding the meaning behind those statements, but I find it extremely wrong to say marriage is not important or practical. I also dont understand the knocking the "making it public" part. To me the day you get married is a joyous time to be shared by your loved ones and friends who support you in different aspects of your life. I said it before my wedding and having just been thru it, I will say it again. Standing before my friends and family and declaring my life intent to Dave is something I would never have considered NOT doing because it was important to me as, as Charlatan said
1) a public declaration of committment.
2) a celebration of said committment.
but then I guess people who dont find marriage important probably wouldnt understand that way of thinking anymore than I understand theirs
