I am going to share with you the first wedding ceremony that I had attended seven years ago, which was my cousin's wedding. It was an honor that she asked me to be her maid of honor, even though the wedding ceremony was just a normal one. They invited most of their relatives and friends to attend this party. I was excited about the ceremony, because I imagined that there could have a lot of flowers and some beautiful decoration in the hotel where they hold the ceremony. But they got married in winter and it could be hard and expensive for the wedding company to find these stuff, and this ceremony couldn't over their budget. 

I am not sure whether you remember my cousin, because I had talked about her and her husband's relationship before. They had been through a long distance relationship, and my cousin's mother didn't like her son in law. But she sticked to her guns and got married with him. But when they got married, the bride didn't have a house or a car, and she still got married with him. I guess that's the reason why people get marry because of love.
