During the years that Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union, the wedding rituals were much different than how they are today. The family life played out in the Soviet Union as if marriage was just as important as two people holding hands in public. As of today, abortions and abolishing their own wedding rings were not frowned upon. It rather seemed weak to have such a strong family unit. Compared to the family life today, a lot has changed. I found this article which talked about the marriage between Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. They discuss getting their wedding vows renewed every single year. Most marriages that last until death, only get theirs renewed once. They believe that, "if you're happy and in love, why not celebrate it?" As you can see, the importance of marriage has escalated tremendously and people are now wanting to embrace their love rather than hold it in and keep it private.

Elle, this post sparked my interest for arranged weddings and middle-eastern weddings were what I was hoping to write about for my research paper. Do you feel as though because celebrities are renewing their vows on a more frequent basis, it is becoming a more popular trend? Or do you feel as though this has always been the case, just not made very public? Great post!
ReplyDeleteWoah, Elle i have never heard about this. But still today, aren't there arranged marriages. But also, in order to stay married for a long time i think it is necessary to renew your vows. It just ensures that the trust is still strong and the husband and wife are happy in love. So i would agree with Nick And Marah's opinion on renewing their vows.
