Thanks Anne – I think the traditions were perhaps always there, we just got sidetracked by bigger, better and more opulent.

Interesting. The tradition is still there, which is very important, but because of the need to adapt to the changing environment and surroundings, even ceremonial events like this have made a way to be environmentally friendly. Very nice.

My parents got married with another couple. It was a way for them to save money on renting a hall, catering, decorations, photographer etc. My mom even borrowed her dress. Back then saving money was green. It still is today too, and I’d love to see people letting go of their bourgeois fantasies and getting married together more often. Weddings are a terrible cost to the environment.
