An observation that seems to hold for at least those I know.
People who go for a small humble wedding seem to have longer lasting marriages. While people who have a huge blow out tend to get divorced rather quickly. I wonder what the correlation is? Nearly every one I know who had a big wedding are divorced and nearly all those who had a small intimate wedding are still married after 14 or 15, years.



I've said the same thing over the years. Those (usually brides) that demand big galas generally have a fairy tale image of what a life long committment to marriage really means. Then they can't cope with the reality that it ain't always a bed of roses.

I ended one relationship when her family's guest list topped 200 (some flying in from Italy). Just a good thing they weren't "connected".
