Marriage is a highly cultural experience but I think those of us without a strong cultural attachment to American traditions are certainly rethinking it. My wife and I skipped the ring, the engagement period, and the wedding and put the money away to save for a down payment. We're still saving (Big city real estate lol) but we agreed that having a home for our future children trumps having a big party that neither of us were crazy about in the first place.
