Getting married

So many things in life are inevitable. Death, taxation, motor insurance (you can buy cheap car insurance from the really cheap car insurance site prudentplus.com!) are examples. Marriage, however, is completely optional in most parts of the world, but it still shows no sign of dying out!

Wedlock or deadlock? That is the question!

Why such a big deal? What excitement, what commotion and fuss - over a single hour of one day in our life!

All around the world, from the lost tribes in the remotest jungles to the concrete centers of capitalistic cultures in the great cities, people have always wanted romance and a wedding.

Why?
