Do you think marriages a waste of time and money?
Nowadays, lots of people don’t get married
They move in with each other and they live together.
I’m a single mother. I’ve never been married.
I’ve spoken to lots of single fathers and most of them have never been married
They’ve been in long term relationships and share the custody of the kids
But seriously, what’s the point in spending 10 grand or more on a wedding hall and a dress when you can use that money on a luxurious holiday or buy a car or something?
Most people don’t even go to other peoples weddings. I only went as a child because my parents took me.
Otherwise, I would have never gone

I forgot to mention divorce rate
Imagine spending so much money they’re getting married and then being divorced after a year
I’ve seen this happen
Marriage was extremely important to me.
I grew up in a broken home and the idea of a husband and children was always my fairytale “what if” kinda life.
Our wedding was a celebration of us and our relationship and aside from the birth of our child was the best day of my life. It was pure magic and so much fun.
So to me, marriage is extremely important and it also gives a layer of security. There was no chance I’d have children if I wasn’t married first.
I agree with you. Our relationship/ family didn't need a wedding/marriage to feel complete, it was already perfect. It was solely for legal purposes that we got married.
Being married was important to me but the wedding was not. We just went down to our courthouse and made it official there.
You can get married without an extravagant wedding. We got married at the courthouse 🤷🏽♀️ marriage isn’t for everyone and that’s ok! But I, myself, always wanted to be married. And only once. It’s scary sometimes loving someone so much and having all your apples in one basket, but I think it’s beautiful for 2 ppl to do that 🫶🏽
