Marriage is what brings us together, today

Heya - we decided it was time as we'd done big things like travelled together, shared and looked after a pet together - didn't kill each other haha!!

I do love a good chick flick about a bridezilla though...

Im suchhhh a dreamer i have been dreaming about my wedding for yearsssss!! 

however im so scared of marriage. haha maybe thats why some people prefer the idea of a wedding over the marriage part. Because the marriage is hard work - even if your with the man of your dreams

my mum loves that show "say yes to the dress" and sometimes when I visit her I get sucked in to that too!!!!!

 @Sophie-RO

So what do you think makes a marraige last?? Any good tips out there?

 Does it seem like some people are more interested in a wedding than a marriage???

For sure. Weddings have become a massive commercial industry (between dresses, wedding expos, bridal mags, exorbitant prices for hiring venues, cars etc.) and I think it can be easy for people to get caught up in that and feel pressure to have a 'perfect day' and spend lots of money.

I actually cant understand how people would spend so much on a wedding? what?! seems really over the top... the AVERAGE cost of weddings in Australia is....................... $48,296 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
