With the growth of age, people around me got married one by one and attended several weddings, big and small, some complicated and some simple. To tell the truth, there are more and more wedding patterns now, but people feel less and less concerned, more of a form, without the real excitement and happiness when they got married before.
In China, statistics show that the compound growth rate of the marriage market has exceeded 18% in recent five years, and the market size is almost150 billion. The market situation will be relatively optimistic in the next five years. According to the situation, it is estimated that the domestic marriage market will reach 3.49 trillion yuan by 2022.
Behind such a violent marriage and love market, it is actually the comparison mentality of China people: I will do what others do, and I will do better. The marriage industry took advantage of our psychology and launched various package services to make the wedding look more romantic, which also increased all kinds of unnecessary expenses, all for the bride and groom to pay the bill.
Wearing a white wedding dress to be the most beautiful bride and becoming the protagonist in others' eyes one day is probably something that every girl has fantasized about. However, I don't know when the wedding became a large-scale show-off scene. The wedding dress should be the most beautiful, the diamond ring should be shiny enough, the wedding scene should be luxurious and romantic enough, the hotel should be upgraded, and there should be more and more wine tables. It's better to have more processes that are sensational enough.
As a result, after the whole wedding ceremony, only the bride and groom, their parents and the guests in the audience were moved. In retrospect, they only remember whether the food is delicious or not, and even the name of the protagonist can't be remembered. Despite the hard work, the wedding ceremony still felt that everything was worth it. After all, there was a beautifully dressed wedding, which made both families look decent.
Even if you want to help the whole family, even if you don't hesitate to borrow money from others, you should finish the ceremony beautifully, no matter how complicated it is. Weddings are more for others than for yourself. The wedding should be your own decision. Falling in love is a matter for two people, and getting married is a matter for two families. Many times, the wedding is requested by parents.
The more lively and grand the wedding, the brighter the parents' faces, and the children's wedding seems to be their win. The essence of a wedding is that a couple are sworn in as husband and wife on this day, and they promise to share joys and sorrows all their lives, never leave, and promise to bring happiness to each other, which is solemn and sacred. But if the wedding is only held under the pressure of relatives and friends, it will become a lively and meaningless drama.
The bride and groom should be stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes in full view, fiddled with under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, and still wondering what the next link is, but they should not make a fool of themselves in public, and smile when they are embarrassed. Looking back many years later, I may not remember how sweet it was at the beginning, but more about how much the wedding cost, how many tables of wine were set, how many people were invited, how romantic the scene was, and the mood when I got married was blurred.
In fact, there is no need to make a mountain out of a molehill, just go through the motions.
