HAVE WEDDINGS LOST THEIR MEANING? Michael Hupp at The Parthenon--Marshall University's student newspaper--thinks so:

You know the whole reason for getting married in the first place is to make public before family and friends the lifelong bond that two people are planning to share. Not to put on a dog and pony show for the masses. That is truly what weddings have become. Fountains out of cakes that shoot champagne, ice sculptures of cupid and tuxedos that are only worn for a fifteen-minute ceremony. An-other Hallmark holiday just like Valentines Day and Christmas.
