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!

If you think about it, it depends what's meaningful to the couple. The legal part is the only requited bit, which is meaningless in some ways, as for some their vows are what is important and for other the religious/cultural component. For some people unless you do that religious bit you're not married. But actually anything more than the legal bit is superfluous.

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

Yup. I opened the thread to read more, as I've not heard of a double wedding for years.

Yes me too.

Now THAT I do think is weird.

Double parties though - I can imagine lots of reasons you might want to do that

The thing is it's totally different when you're rich, everyone has the time to celebrate like this.
