According to my previous article, ‘Marriage Cravings,’ marriage is the next big thing. Everyone is talking about it and many of the people in my circle have already done it. Seeing how recently married couples’ relationships are developing, made me question the reasons why people are tying the knot. Do women genuinely want to get married because they are head over heels for their future husbands, or do they just like the idea of becoming a princess for a day? Are women taking marriage and making it into a competition where the race ends when the wedding day arrives?
Weddings are a lot of fun, but for the bride and groom they can be extremely stressful. Although the bride is usually the one who gets consumed by trying to perfect all the details, a stressed out bride can end up repelling the groom and making him want to pull out his hair…Hey, who wants to marry Bridezilla? I have met plenty of brides-to-be who get so into the wedding planning that they forget the purpose of the ceremony. Although many people use the words marriage and wedding interchangeably, they don’t realize that there is a huge difference between the two.
A marriage is the emotional and legal commitment two people make to one another. A wedding is the ceremony where two people are joined in marriage. Anyone can go to city hall, get a marriage license, and get married. The wedding should be just a bonus. Your happiness shouldn’t depend on whether or not you have a big wedding.
It’s a bit discouraging when I hear people refer to the wedding day as ‘the happiest day of your life.’ If that’s the happiest day of your life what is there to look forward to?
I would like to clarify that I am not against weddings. I just feel that I can do just fine without one. A wedding is just for one day; a day in which couples stress themselves out trying to please everyone on the guest list. On the other hand a marriage is something that should last a lifetime. And to make it even better you only have to please that one person who is also interested in pleasing you. Having two people, who are in love, be united through marriage is one of the best things society has come up with. However, many people get so caught up in the details of the wedding that they let that mess up their entire relationship.
Just remember your wedding day isn’t the end of the race; it’s only the beginning. Once you have the privilege of saying you have a successful marriage, you can call yourself a true winner.
