I would love to know the history of weddings. I'm getting married in a year and I would love to know more about the historical side of weddings. Weddings nowadays seem very overdone. Instead of focusing on getting married couples focus on having a wedding. Weddings also cost a lot more than they did back when my parents got married. My parents got married and had a huge wedding for two thousand dollars total. That included the venue, caterer, photographer, the band, wedding favors, my moms homemade dress, vail and much more.

When I get married my wedding will be about the love that I have for my fiance. I don't want my wedding to be some expensive show. I don't understand the whole wedding industry and the idea that more is better. I my fiance and I to have a wedding that represents our love. I'm hoping that I can find books that will talk about how weddings have changed over the years. Are their any books on the history of weddings?
