Why do Japanese talk so much about marriage ?

[cursore]

I know that Japanese give much importance to weddings, may be more than western society however if I think that in Italy works more or less like this:

1 If you are catholic, you start with the pre marriage church course (compulsory)
2 Book the curch (usually one year in advance) decoration etc
3 Book the restaurant with reception (the family of the couple will pay the bill for this)
4 Book the invitation (not just a card but the whole bonbonnière kit)
5 Book the honeymoon (far away and expensive place)
6 prepare the whishing list (presents which might be useful to the couple)


so at the end a marriage can cost as much as buying a flat
