Marriages

 According to Joan Didion, people get married for five dollars in Vegas on drive thrus. In her essay Didion points out the stupidity in those weddings.  I believe that it is the most insulting way two people can get married. The marriage seems like a business or something causal as if they do it everyday. According to me marriage is supposed to be a event in a persons life where two people unite to spend the rest of their lives together because they love each other. The marriages in Vegas are like ruining the specialty of that type of bond. It is only a legal marriage but not a serious one. Now days people who have big weddings are ending up divorced, imagine people who get married in Vegas. The longest they will perhaps stay together is a year. I feel like marriages like these are pointless. The marriage is a way of under age kids to get married and ruin their futures. Drive thru marriages should be banned because it only leads to couples that are only getting married for the fun of it. I mean if they really loved each other, they would spend lots of money because it is the most important day of any couples lives. They would not have a cheap wedding, as if they were placing an order in Mac-Donalds.
