Big Brother was watching in 1984.

I guess he was witnessing more weddings than ever before.

And, Then Along Comes Marry…2022 will break that 40-year-old record.

There are more weddings scheduled this year…over 2.5 million to be exact.

I was married in 1984…a good year for solidarity as I am still singing the praises of Peaches & Herb, “United and it feels so good”.

I am sure there is a percentage of nuptials that are happening in 2022 due to a plethora of pandemic cancellations from 2020 and 2021.

Couples are spending a fortune on the main event.

A gorgeous wedding is a momentous moment in time, but only a moment.

I would rather buy a house or take a long honeymoon.

It usually is a beautiful memory, left with an gilded wedding book and a very expensive dress permanently encased in a garment bag stored in your bedroom closet, attic or basement.

I had a big, fancy wedding with all the bells and whistles.

My dad offered cash for a down payment on a house. My mother offered to remove his male appendage.

It was fab, but we should have taken the cash.

Not that 2 million couples will hear me, but save the money and have an intimate destination wedding.

Hopefully, together forever.
