Not my Knot!

Last night I was scowering the knot.com looking for a wedding theme: stripped, jewel tones, flowers oh my; I quickly glanced down to make sure my penis was still in tact. The business side in me could not help but query, the business of getting married, what a business it is?

While a wedding is nothing more than a glorified Saturday night at the bars (I kid I kid). I spent this past weekend in my hometown helping my sister plan her wedding venue I began to realize the expansive cost and process it is to merely stand in front of ones friends and family sharing nuptials. It reads like a Mastercard commercial.

Flowers $10000
Alchohol $20000
Decorations $10000
Venue Rental $25000

Watching your future spouse's Bridezilla moment: Priceless.

There is nothing more fun than going to a wedding, drinks, food, and women who are completely aroused by the thought of marriage. However, looking at the event from the other side as the host, it got me thinking how much pressure we put on the marriage from day one.

Statistics show that 50% of all marriages end in a divorce, well I can think of $150,000 reasons why people should rethink their divorces. If the marriage does not last more than one year do you get a 50% refund on the wedding.

If in this country we have to renew our drivers license, hell even our fishing licenses, why not requre a marriage license renewal. At least we will reduce the percentage of divorces, just dont tell all the lawyers of the world that I suggested such an idea. The only problem is that the DMV would take over all the license renewals and in the end everyone would spend 5 hours there filling out form c and standing in line b, only to get to the front of the line and find out they needed form a. In the end people would leave in frustration without renewing their marriage, I guess unlicensed marriages are far better than unlicensed drivers.
