I'm quite against religion but agree somewhat. But secular weddings? I've not been to a whole lot of weddings, but the secular ones have been qualitatively better. The ceremony seems planned around the actual people wanting to express their love and commitment, not the (generally boring) rites of people going before a god. A sermon or mass seems just so out of place. Or maybe it's just Christian-type ones that get it wrong.
The secular weddings had a feeling that every minute was purposeful, that there wasn't any going through ceremony to "get to the good stuff".
- farnsworth 10y agoIf you're religious, then the ceremony is the "good stuff". It's meaningful. Your friends, siblings, parents, their parents, and their parents probably were married to a similar ceremony. It's about community, not individualism.
