To think that double weddings are pointless?

Just scrolling through insta and realised Vicky Pattison got married. Her dress choice surprised me as it wasn't the usual traditional style, but she did loom amazing. Anyway, I see she's also doing an Italian wedding when I assume the more traditional bridal gown will make an appearance. I've noticed a lot of people do the UK thing and then the abroad thing (obvs for legal reasons) but AIBU to think that if you're celebrating big in the UK and you're legally married, then anything abroad seems pointless? You've done it, you're married? Doesn't it feel overkill to walk down the aisle again to do it? Surely it's not as exciting?

Happy to be told otherwise!

Yeah I agree, if you’re getting married just get married- same with people who get married abroad but then have a big do at home anyway, it’s too much, people are only going to the UK party to be polite, it’s not a wedding.

She looked beautiful, the dress was stunning. If they have the money and they wanna splash out, why not?

I thought a double wedding was the term for when there were two couples marrying at the same ceremony

It's fairly common for people have separate legal ceremonies and possibly more than one party depending on where key family members are
