I agree, but the person who doesn't want to get married should at least have the decency to tell the other person face to face, rather than just not show up for the wedding.
It is terrible for either, you should have the courage to stand up BEFORE the wedding day and let your partner know you don't want to get married. It is cowardice from any party to put someone through that. DD
Doesn't mean you should be a dumb-ass and wait until the day of the wedding to figure out getting married is a bad idea. Decisions on the wedding day are born either of: (1) irrational panic, or (2) the execution of an action you've known for awhile was necessary but you were too cowardly to confront proactively. My wife asked me about cold feet the day we got married, but I was completely carefree. I'd rather doom myself to a lifetime of a sham marriage than admit that I'm a dumb-ass or a coward.
Nobody is saying you have to get married, but if you dont want to get married: 1)why do you proposed your girlfriend to get married? 2) why you accepted to get married? and you have at least 5 months, to say you dont want to get married, and not to wait till the day. and If the other person pay for the party and you dont show up, the party is over, and the money is lost.
