Four marriages for one honeymoon

During my holiday in France I was watching a TV program of which name can be translated as “Four marriages for one honeymoon”. It is the French version of "Four weddings". There are 4 brides and we can observe the wedding of each of them. When one bride has her wedding, three other women give their opinion and mark five things: decoration of the reception place, food, ball opening, ambiance and bride's dress.

They use a 0-20 scale. The woman who has the best score, wins a honeymoon for which she does not have to pay. I like this program because I can see the wedding tradition in France.

There are very few weddings in church, the majority is in the mayoralty. There is even something called “non-religious wedding ceremony”. For me it has no sense. I think that the wedding in the church has the greatest value and I would not like it in any other place, and if I had to marry me in the garage, like one bride, I would cry.

It is obvious that a wedding is a very expensive event and not everyone can afford to have the best things. But in general people try to give as much as possible, and they put in a lot of work, taking care of every detail and putting their heart. And then, at the end someone publicly tells on television that you dress, food or in general, all the events were awful and he judges the investment that you gave for example on 5/20. I think even people with very strong character could be hurt. There are many young brides who cry during the last episode when they see what other brides have said

 about them.

I have watched some episodes few days ago and it was very pleasant to remember this time of holidays. I knew some tendencies about wedding in France and maybe one day this knowledge will be useful for me.
