A wedding ceremony has nothing to do with a drunken feast. By showing up and thus attesting to the couple's intentions, every one of those attendees has an obligation to ensure that the newly married couple receives their support if and when they hit bumps (and we all hit bumps). In the short term, we gift them with whiteware and other items for their new household.
P.S. Sadly, we can see that JayWalker's true intentions have been revealed.
Here's a speech given by the pastor at a wedding ceremony , it perfectly lays out the nature and purposes of marriage:
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here
in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation,
to join together this man
and this woman in holy matrimony,
which is an honourable estate,
instituted by God in the time of man's innocency,
signifying unto us the mystical union
that is between Christ and His church,
and therefore is not by any
to be enterprised lightly, or wantonly, to satisfy man's
carnal lusts and appetites,
but reverently, discreetly,
advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God,
duly considering the causes for which matrimony was ordained.
First, it was ordained for the procreation of children.
Secondly, as a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication.
Thirdly, for the mutual society, help and comfort that the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity,
into which holy estate these persons
present come now to be joined.
