Maybe you are a little out of date if you have no idea about the "Naked Wedding",which means the couple just get married with no house,no car,no wedding celebration and even no wedding rings.This phenomenon emerged under the global financial crisis background in 2008. The "Naked Wedding",like other fangles,has become a hot topic among people,with several focuses such as "can the marriage be accepted with no wedding celebration?","If a marriage like that can be admitted by their parents?","Whether it provides enough respect for the bride or not?","Is it necessary to have a diamond ring to promise the happiness ever after?"

hi. even before the strike of the so called global and financial crises, here in the Philippines, " Naked wedding" is already a fad among couples who do not have the real preparation for marriage and who most of the time belongs to the lower middle social strata of society. the couple simply go to the judge with a friend as witness and have the ceremony and presto they are married.

Hi there. For me, I'm not an extravagant person but I think I would like to have a wedding that can be memorable. Certainly my parents would not allow me to have this type of wedding. And I think before getting married, the couple should consider being financially stable first so that it will not cause any problems. Why hurry, if it is meant to be it will be.

"Naked wedding" is a very unconventional thing. However, I think could be done also. Rings, cars, parties etc. are just symbolic of the rites. The real thing in the ceremony is the marrying of the two hearts which is beyond these material things.

It is true that we are on global crisis right now but if we will make this a reason to neglect the wedding ceremony for couples, we might not bless by GOD in that way. it is not necessary to have diamond rings or a very expensive ocassion but the most important there is the ceremony. regardless of religion, couples must be wedded by the person who have the authority to bless the couple in behalf of GOD. For me, the ceremony is the most important aspect there and we should not make poverty as the reason of having a "NAKED WEDDING".

Even though a "naked wedding" is not an ideal type of wedding, i think it is still a convenient way for some people due to the so-called financial crisis. But i do think that when you plan of getting married, you must first be financially stable and you must have a place where you can live and start your own family so that it won't be too hard for you once you finally get married.
