Over much of recorded history, marriage was more about property than love. Perhaps it can now become something else
I have been married for 14 years and have no plans to update my relationship status. But that doesn’t stop me from wondering – why do people still get married? Why did I?
For years I have worked as a celebrant, mostly at funerals, but recently I started conducting weddings. I felt like it would be good to have a little more balance in my life and schedule. In the preliminary meeting with couples, I always ask them why they decided to get married. Their answer helps me to write their ceremony and also satisfies my nosiness.
