    Why does it matter so much to women? Noone is being crowned nor is it a beauty pageant. Half of marriges end in divorce. It causes stress to guests and participants. Why not just go to a judge?

      Different people like different things. Nothing wrong with celebrating one of the biggest days of one’s life. I didn’t want to be the center of attention, but if someone else does want to be that - on their wedding day - then that’s cool too.

      Half of all marriages, which include people who have been married multiple times. For example, if you have 5 married couples, 4 are on their first marriage and the last couple is on their 6th marriage, then on average 50% of the marriages in this scenario failed. But it doesn’t apply to everyone in the same way. Some people even remarry the same person.

      The median is much lower.
