Reading this article made me think of the TLC show, "Say Yes To The Dress," and how many of the women on the show will pay thousands of dollars for a wedding gown that they are going to wear for one day. What is it about a woman's wedding day that makes her want to spend so much money? She could save the money for their future together, or for their honeymoon. There are many shows that try and show society that it is okay to spend tons of money on a dress because "It's your wedding day," but is it really worth it?
The article points out how huge the wedding industry is, and if people stopped wanting lavish weddings it would clearly be hurt, so does society make us think we want huge weddings in order to keep the industry going? Or did we want them to begin with as one last big party to start off married life?
