wedding or marriage?

I watched an episode named Engagement Photo of Friends last Saturday,and the dialouge between Monica and Chandler on wedding made me think a lot.

Monica would like to have a big wedding in beautiful gallery,which would cost them a big amount of money.Monica's parant don't have the amount to pay for it,but Chandler happens to have a deposit just enough for the wedding,which he has saved for six years.Monica tries to persuade Chandler to follow her wish, since this happens only once in her lifetime,but Chandler insists that it's not wise to pour all the money he has into a wedding.He needs having some free money to plan their future.Chandler leaves the house with disaccord.

The next day,two people both change their mind. Monica told Chandler that she doesn't want to hold an expensive wedding any more,to my surprise, Chandler agrees to spend all his deposit on the wedding because he thought of his promise to Monica--do everything he can to make Monica happy. Monica insists,and says: what I need is marriage,not the wedding. Chandler knows Monica is serious,he agrees and they have a soul kiss.

Many girls dream of a big and wonderful wedding,for which they insist pouring all their money into it,the reason is the same as that of Monica.For this reason, they go to the best photographic house and the seaside to take many beautiful marriage photoes no matter how expensive they are,and no matter how tired after posing a day long.As for wedding dinner,more time and money are poured on it, don't mentioned how tired the new couple would be...It seems they care their face much more than their feeling.

I wonder honourable wedding is really so important for a new couple? Would honourable wedding make the marriage better? Or would make the new couple love each other much more?

Edited version:

I watched an episode of “Friends” entitled “Engagement Photo” last Saturday, and the dialogue on the question of wedding between Monica and Chandler exercised my mind quite a bit.

Monica would like to have a lavish wedding, which would cost them a lot of money. Monica's parents don't have the money to pay for it, but Chandler happens to have some six-year-old saving just enough to cover it. Monica tries to persuade Chandler to fulfill her wish, since this happens only once in her lifetime, but Chandler insists that it's not wise to spend all the money for a wedding. He needs to have some spare cash to plan for their future. Chandler leaves the house without reaching any agreement with her.

Then the next they both change their mind completely. Monica tells Chandler that she doesn't want to have an expensive wedding any more, but to my surprise, Chandler now agrees to spend all his saving on the wedding because he remembers his promise to Monica--do everything he can to make her happy. Monica insists and says: what I need is a marriage, not just a wedding. Chandler then knows Monica is serious, so he agrees and they have a passionate kiss.

Many girls dream of having a big and wonderful wedding, on which they would spend all their money. The reason is the same as that of Monica. For this reason, they go to the best photo studio and the seaside to take many beautiful marriage photos, regardless of how expensive that will be, and how tiring it will be after posing for a whole day. As for the wedding banquet, more time and money are spent on it too...It seems face is more important to them than anything else.

I wonder why a big wedding is really so important to a new couple? Would a lavish wedding make the marriage better? Or would it make the new couple love each other much more?
