Weddings: It is about the couple not the guest

Some of the wedding ensembles on display earlier this week at the launch of the Roraima Airways Seventh Wedding Expo.

Despite having a small wedding of my own, I am always giddy with excitement when I am invited to one. However, deep down inside I wish sometimes we could just skip to the part where everything is over in a flash and people just turn up married without any big fuss.

No matter how well orchestrated—the size of the wedding or your role in it—you are bound to incur some amount of stress that would make you question the necessity of it all and undoubtedly  you will also discover how capitalist the industry really is.
