Discussion Weddings are pointless & superficial

[Mystericus]

There's no point. If you're religious whatever, it's still retarded but at-least there's a reason, but otherwise? It's a waste of time and money just to have your relationship confirmed by paper-work and throw a little party to celebrate. It doesn't make you closer, it doesn't change anything about your love, it's pointless

no. bad take. marriage has a plenty of legal advantages. you can save a lot on taxes due to government perks, at least in my country. you get next of kin status, which is useful in a bunch of specific scenarios. you can inherit pensions and social security too

People rarely marry strategically, in most countries it's not too advantageous either. But sure i don't take issue with that - just that's a disproportionate minority of people who get married

you dont need to marry "strategically" to benefit from the structural perks that come with it. This entire post is retarded

You can throw parties without paying for a marriage

And those structural perks are?

And those structural perks are?

other than taxes;

> over 1,100 federal statutory rights and privileges, alongside numerous state-level protections

> You can transfer an unlimited amount of money or assets to your spouse at any time even after death, completely free of federal gift and estate taxes

> Spouses can combine their annual gift-tax exclusions to gift larger tax-free amounts to third parties

> Spouses can claim retirement or disability benefits based on their partner’s earnings record (up to 50% of the worker's benefit) and collect survivor benefits after a partner passes away.

> Spouses cannot be legally compelled to testify against each other in certain criminal court proceedings, and private marital communications are protected.

Those are strategic perks. Which again, most people aren't marrying for these benefits - and even if they were to, an expensive wedding is still pointless. Do you seriously think the average person enters marriage because of these benefits?

These are just perks that come with being married, most of the people that get married DO end up using these perks lmfao.

Did you even read my post. That's not why they're getting married - the most cited reason is love, and for that reason they're spending a median of around 18 thousand on a wedding. Depends on state but you can get married for under 1k pretty easily
