Why get married in the first place? The tax laws certainly discourage it. And if you are set on marriage on religious or other grounds, why have a wedding that puts financial strain on the young couple, their parents, families, and even friends?
My wife and I went to the city hall to get married. The wedding cost us less than $200. We are not poor--our combined income is well over $200,000/year--but we would much rather take five additional vacations in Europe or Hawaii than donate money to the wedding industry.

Not so sure the tax laws discourage it - we actually save tax dollars filing jointly rather than separately. That might just be due to the difference between what my wife and I make (I make enough by myself to be disqualified from certain credits and deductions, but jointly we qualify for most of them).
