I went to a wedding of an agnostic Christian and atheist Jew (redundant?). Oddly they went to great lengths to avoid any religious symbolism, except when they stepped on the glass. Is that based on the Jewish religion or is it secular in nature?
Great question! It’s essentially a rephrasing of my OP.

I have friends who have ignored the government approval or disapproval of a wedding and the license fee.
They, instead, opted for a covenant marriage, reciting their own vows acknowledging their Christian faith and officiated by a pastor. They say the state has no business in the union.
In their eyes, the basic benefit in a state license and approval would be Security benefits or perhaps rights in healthcare decisions.
Both their families approve.

You go to a lot of weddings
and if hes saying "the last 10 non traditional weddings" hes saying hes been to non traditional weddings before that, as well as an unspecified number of traditional weddings.

quote:Weddings are big business and commercialized. They have evolved beyond the confines of the Church and religious ceremonies officiated by the clergy because of there's too much money to be made in every facet of a wedding event. Once it became commercialized, tradition, sentiment, holiness, religious observance went out the window.
Are you all ignoring the massive turn away from religion and traditional values over the past few decades? Yes, there’s been a slight return to religion and tradition for some in the past year, but the demographics clearly indicate a population that is majority non-religious.
Couples (and their parents) are no longer satisfied with a church wedding with the pastor/priest officiating and a reception in the fellowship hall with cake, punch and little mints afterwards.

It's the dumbass women. Church weddings need to make a comeback!

FFS, do you think I enjoyed the fact that my best friend’s son “trans-ed” into a shemale and got married to a “gay” woman (who as marrying a man with a penis in a woman’s costume), in a farcical anti-religious trope of a wedding at a bar in New Orleans?
Im no longer inclined. This try-hard nonsense confirms it.

What does evangelicalism have to do with the topic?
Even if I steel man your post, I agree that divorce is too often chosen by couples, the point is this: why are the secularists even bothering to get married, and how are they concocting a wedding “ceremony”?
Tax benefits. Same reason churches exist.

Every wedding I go to has religion in it,
What does this even mean? Sprinkle a little religiosity on it and all is good, even though there is no meaning to the whole ritual?

What’s the purpose of weddings in the minds of young non-religious, non-traditional couples these days?
That’s a weird question to ask about related to a wedding.
It would make more sense to ask it in relation to a marriage itself.
Posted on 6/4/25 at 11:35 am to Jimbeaux
My guess is that a lot of the couples are including some degree of “tradition” to appease older family members.

You are a glutton for punishment. It shouldn't take an hour to get married in the church. Say your vows and be done.

I am too. I very much enjoy full Mass weddings. I usually tear up like a little bitch at them.

It has become a look at me thing for the woman in many cases. Most logical.men would rather out that money elsewhere

full mass wedding almost always under an hour. I have taken over/under bets on many of them, under is always the play because people think it is longer than it is
Got to watch out for father cleo types who think like an Umpire and make it about themselves

They want the spectacle of the event. Its that simple. A lot of westerners, who are even hostile to religion enjoy weddings as a matter of personal exaltation and to make people look at them.

You're attending degenerate gay marriage ceremonies & wonder why they are non-traditional?

10 non church weddings? don't surround yourself with such heathens
On this side of town no one even gets married anymore

Secular? Jesus (I know) Christ:
quote:
From the Talmud it would appear that breaking the glass served to engender sobriety and balanced behavior. Psalms 2:11 says, "Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling". Rabbi Ada ben Matanah, interpreted in Rabbah’s name: Bime’kom gilah, sham te’hei re’adah, "Where there is rejoicing, there should be trembling." A wedding should not be sheer undisciplined merriment, and the breaking of expensive glass stunned the guests into tempering their gaiety
Was there a chuppah? Rabbi?
