court marriage vs ritualistic traditional marriage

For me its not the way how a marriage is celebrated. What counts much for me is that, I love the person I am marrying with, The celebration is mutually agreed, valid and in the presence of all the people close to me and my partner.

Marriage is a commitment and a commitment requires a celebration. You are not just the two of you but your own little world is there for you. Call them and celeberate with them and traditions have a beauty of their own. I have gone through this and no regrets.

Well since all marriage is ordained by God, and since I recognize him as having sole authority, what I prefer doesn't really matter. I am supposed to have my wedding in church, before God and Heaven, therefore that is what I will do. Court marriage is vastly cheaper I hear, but since God is more important to me, than the money He created, I'll have to ignore that.
