Oh Those Celebrity Weddings
I am probably too much of a cynic sometimes but I usually get a good laugh out of celebrity weddings. From what I can tell, the bigger the deal the media makes about the celebrity wedding the more of a chance that the marriage will be a train wreck. As soon as a celebrity couple starts dating the tabloids instantly start throwing around wedding rumors. When did marriage become so shallow that celebrities that have been dating for a week are considered ripe for a celebrity wedding? It is truly a shame what Hollywood, and the media, are doing to great institutions like marriage in the world today.
I am also entertained by the people that clamor for photos from celebrity weddings. What did she wear? What did he wear? Who was in the wedding party? What did they say as their vows? What did they serve at the reception? Here is my question, who cares? This country’s unquenchable lust for news and gossip on celebrities is allowing Hollywood and the media to debase everything sacred in our society and turn it all into a huge joke. But it isn’t all bad.
It’s The Quiet Ones You Have To Watch
I find that the celebrity weddings that are reported on as a quiet little ceremony with no media or fans are the marriages in Hollywood that survive the longest. When there are no photographers flying in on helicopters to get that one great shot for The Enquirer, or when the wedding reception is not covered by CNN, then I see the resulting marriage as having a chance at survival. It really is not always the fault of the celebrities, in reality the majority of the fault can lie with the media. But the people that really keep this circus going are the American public and their infatuation with celebrity worship.
Ok so maybe the celebrities really are trying to have a quiet celebrity wedding and maybe they really do try and keep everything as under wraps as possible. If that is the case then what is the reason for the paparazzi hiding in the trees trying to take pictures of the bride as she walks down the aisle? It is the millions of people in America that just cannot seem to get enough news on celebrities. The fixation with knowing every little detail in a celebrity’s life has to make some celebrities claustrophobic after a while. Just because a celebrity makes their money by entertaining the public does not mean that all celebrities are forced to be entertainment every waking moment of their lives.
